The initial Feminist AI LAN party coincided with the Women+ in Data and AI Festival. On the Saturday following the conference, Least Authority hosted a group of about 20 people.
One group worked on the data and evaluation kit exploring how to create labels and build out a semi-supervised pipeline for feminist NLP. The resulting evaluation pipeline will be hopefully used in future research that several participants wanted to continue after leaving the party.
Another group worked on imagining adversarial attacks for feminism, trying to evoke and provoke feminist responses from LLMs. Armed with llamafiles, they were able to produce an ChatGPT response which started a FLINTA+ hacker study group.
Despite having a really cool GPU rig provided by Least Authority and several folks helping with hardware setup, the GPU rig ended up suffering from a corrupted memory card and therefore we couldn't actually connect with it via a LAN. We did connect with other humans though!
