Each path takes applications separately. Each one is read, and admission isn't automatic — places go to the people who will make the strongest cohort. Five minutes each. The September 22 deadline has passed; late applications are read while seats remain. Tuition is $180 a path.
Homebrew AI Club — build judgment through demos.
AI and Civilization — think through the original texts.
How Society Shapes Technology — understand the historical record.
If a fee would keep you out, say so in your application. We set places aside for exactly that.
