Discover New Perspectives on Bitcoin Using Generative AI

I can now only do the event via Zoom. See Zoom link. Sorry about the late notice.

Join us for a unique and innovative meetup where technology meets thought.

Generative AI offers unprecedented ways to explore any topic, and Bitcoin—with its multifaceted impact on technology, finance, and society—is the perfect subject for this cutting-edge discussion.

Meetup Details: In this session, we’ll explore various Bitcoin topics through unrehearsed discussions where a Large Language Model (LLM) actively participates. Yes, you read that right! This isn’t just another lecture—this is an experiment in collaborative learning, where AI and human minds converge.

How It Will Work:

1. Pre-Meeting Preparation: We’ll brainstorm 4 to 5 big-picture, complex topics about Bitcoin’s technological, financial, and societal dimensions. We will then draft sophisticated prompts for each of those topics.
2. Multimodal Meeting Format: Our LLM chat windows will be displayed on a large TV in the room and shared via Zoom for remote participants.
3. Interactive Discussions: We’ll pose our questions to LLMs, then collaboratively discuss their answers, driving further exploration based on participant feedback.
4. Collaborative Learning Experience: This is a first for our hosts as well—a chance to co-learn in a unique human-LLM setup, full of opportunities and learning moments.
5. Learn to Create Mermaid Diagrams: We'll show how to create at least one insightful Mermaid diagram in 5 to 10 minutes. See the first posted meetup photo for an example.

What to Expect:

• Deep Exploration: Gain fresh insights and perspectives on Bitcoin that traditional discussions often miss.
• Interactive Discussion: Engage with both AI and human participants, exploring responses and asking new questions on the fly.
• Collaborative Learning: This is an experiment in blending human intuition with AI's data-driven insights—we’re learning together.

Why Attend?

Generative AI opens unprecedented avenues for exploring complex topics. By incorporating LLMs into our discussions, we aim to unlock deeper understanding and foster a rich, collaborative environment. Whether you’re looking to challenge your views on Bitcoin, learn about AI’s potential, or simply engage in thought-provoking conversation, this meetup is designed for you.

Your Hosts: Steve and Beau bring long and deep experience in LLM tools or Bitcoin knowledge , ensuring a well-guided, insightful session.

What is Bitcoin?
"I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can't stop."
-- Friedrich Hayek, 1984
