Great to meet you! We are bringing together a highly technical group of attendees from companies like Meta, Amazon, Stripe, and Salesforce, including principal engineers, startup founders, and researchers with expertise in distributed systems, computer vision, and on-device machine learning. The most common skills and interests are AI and machine learning, followed by Python, data science, and TypeScript, with attendees holding impressive backgrounds such as published NLP research, Y Combinator startup experience, and doctoral work in agentic systems. We would love to have you join us for this evening of screening and discussion. Best, [Your Name]

General Magic is the story of the original creators of the smartphone, who after a great failure, changed the lives of billions. Possibly the most important company to come out of Silicon Valley that nobody’s ever heard of.

I watched the film when it came out in 2018 and its message feels more relevant today than ever. As we stand at the beginning of the AI revolution, there are obvious parallels with the internet and smartphone revolutions that came before it.

We’re extremely grateful to the team at Spellbound Productions for giving us permission to screen General Magic for the AI Tinkerers community. You can learn more about their work on Substack.

Huge thanks as well to the team at Phoenix Court for hosting us and keeping everyone fed and watered.
