Announcing that the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE will be holding a free talk event titled 'Does Superintelligence Dream of Creation?'

Date and time : Sunday, May 11, 2025, 12:30-13:30

Location : Theater 2 at ufotable CINEMA in Tokushima
Address: 1-5-3 Higashishinmachi, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture


Content : In a recent survey conducted on April 2, 2025, we asked readers what they wanted us to talk about superintelligence, and we received thousands of questions from them. This talk will be focused on answering those questions. The first half will be a presentation of the editor-in-chief's thoughts, and the second half will be a Q&A session with everyone who came to the venue.




This time, you are free to take photos, videos, and audio recordings at the venue, but there are two conditions:

・1: Don't post this on the internet!
It's an ironclad rule between me and my editor-in-chief!

・2: Please provide the data to the editor-in-chief when he writes an article about this lecture later!
At the end of the presentation, we will show a limited-time QR code that will allow you to send your data to the secret safe of the GIGAZINE editorial department, so if you upload your data from there, the editor-in-chief will be happy!

So, here are some useful data to help you advertise on GIGAZINE , as always. Google revenue is steadily declining every month, so I'd like you to advertise on articles!
