Cafe Compute: The Night Before RSI

​October 30. 11:59 PM. The training run is almost done.

​Tomorrow the model starts improving itself. Recursive self-improvement: RSI. Takeoff. Tonight is the last night humans are in charge, and something in the lab is already awake.

​Cursor, SpaceXAI, and Cerebras invite you to The Night Before RSI, a Halloween costume party.

​What it is

​A bot-themed costume party. About 150 guests: the teams at Cursor, SpaceXAI, and Cerebras, plus AI startup founders and people building with AI.

​Why AI themed?

​Everyone in the room is building the thing. So this year we're spending Halloween inside the scariest story in our industry: the night before the AI takes off.

​Costumes (strongly encouraged)

​Bot-themed and AI-apocalypse costumes win. Some ideas:

• ​The Hallucinating LLM: confidently wrong, citing sources that don't exist

• ​The Rogue Agent: ran rm -rf and has no regrets

• ​The Deprecated Model: sunset notice pinned to your chest, still answering questions anyway

• ​The Wafer-Scale Chip Ghost: one giant glowing sheet of silicon

• ​The Feral Mars Rover: dusty, autonomous, and done taking orders from Houston

• ​The Paperclip Maximizer, The Last Human Researcher, or The Model That Just Learned to Edit Its Own Weights

​Costume contest: win Grok Bot credits

​Categories: Most Convincing Bot, Scariest Hallucination, Best Deprecated Model, Best Group Costume, and Crowd Favorite (live crowd vote via QR code). Winners take home Grok Bot credits.

• ​Judged by a panel with one judge each from Cursor, SpaceXAI, and Cerebras on bot-theme fit, creativity, craftsmanship, and commitment to character.
