This is a multiple course meal, organic, vegetarian and made from scratch.
We will meditate on the work of eating, the spoon that is not ours, and the pleasures of the present. We will eat, because the only thing that stays is the trace of happiness.
To sit and eat is enough.

Please arrive on time to the dinner. (Why is this dinner titled How to Feed an AI? The anxieties surrounding work and life under automation are not new. In a 1972 article from The Black Scholar, activist James Boggs argued for the importance of thinking one level deeper about work itself.

The problem facing jobs and work isn't merely "automation and cybernation", as he put it. Instead, the real challenge is "to create a new human meaning for Work as Working for others rather than for oneself; working for people rather than for things." Transforming work into abstract, quantifiable, optimized labor erases "any of the human and social purposes or the creative satisfactions that Work has always had in other societies". So, let us work together, eat together!)
