Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter:in. On Demand: MON THR 6pm-7pm R.s.v.p.
We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink.

PPT Karaoke: Presentation Roulette
Helloo to all lovers of randomness and awkward moments!
Come hang out with us for a night that’s a little silly, a little chaotic, but a lot of fun.
PPT Karaoke is simple: you present a deck of random slides you’ve never seen before. You’ll be figuring it out as you go—and that’s exactly the point. No prep, no pressure, and definitely no boring quarterly charts.
It’s a great way to try something new, laugh at yourself a bit, and maybe get a little more comfortable speaking in front of people.
You can present… or not.
Sign up if you’re feeling brave, or just grab a drink and enjoy the chaos from the audience.
**What it is like**
* People making things up on the spot
* Moments that are unexpectedly funny (or *weirdly brilliant*)
* A relaxed, supportive crowd that’s laughing with you
**How it works**
* We write your name at the entrance if you want to present
* We draw random names to choose a presenter during the event
* Get a completely random slide deck
* Go for it—funny, serious, or totally nonsensical
**Why You Should Come**
* Try something new without pressure
* Laugh a lot (at yourself and with others)
* Take a break from taking things too seriously
* Meet nice, low-key people who also have no idea what’s on Slide 4.
* Experience Level: **None**. Really. If you can point at a screen and say words, you’re overqualified.
**The vibe**
Warm, welcoming, and zero judgment. We’re all just figuring it out together.
If this sounds like your kind of fun, come join us 🙂
Spots are limited at the place—First-come, first-served!

BLISS x juna.ai Workshop: Open-Ended Algorithm Discovery with LLMs
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/7zfk3orp?utm_source=meetup**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x juna.ai workshop** featuring **Dr. Nima Siboni (senior RL Engineer)**, who will guide us through an interactive session on algorithm discovery with LLMs.
** Title: The Heuristic Scientist: Open-Ended Algorithm Discovery with LLMs**
**📅 Date: 03.06.2026**
**🕕 Time: 18:00**
📍 Location: TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011]
The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session
with juna.ai and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop!
**Abstract:** Large language models are increasingly useful not only for writing code, but for exploring the space of possible algorithms. In this hands-on workshop, we will look at how LLMs can act as “heuristic scientists”: generating candidate strategies, turning ideas into executable code, testing them against concrete objectives, and refining them through feedback. The workshop centers on the general discovery loop behind LLM-assisted heuristic generation. Participants will learn how to structure problems for algorithm discovery, prompt models to propose interpretable heuristics, evaluate those heuristics with simulations or benchmarks, and use the results to guide further search. We will also discuss when simple prompting is enough, when training or fine-tuning may help, and how to keep generated heuristics understandable, testable, and auditable.
By the end of the session, participants will have built a small discovery loop of their own and will understand the practical trade-offs involved in using LLMs for open-ended algorithm discovery: creativity versus control, exploration versus verification, and automation versus human judgment.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: https://luma.com/7zfk3orp?utm_source=meetup**

Collaborative Modeling Meetup - Problem Solving with EventStorming
For the June edition of our collaborative modeling meetup, we’ll continue the EventStorming deep dive we started earlier this year and explore some of the tactics and recipes of this format. What does that mean, exactly? Massive learning, massive fun, and massive numbers of sticky notes.
As always, everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a software engineer to participate. In fact, it would be great to have more people who aren't software engineers. We're here to solve problems cross-functionally, not get into implementation details. As long as you care passionately about getting things right, then you belong here!
This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Building better tests with AI

**Register here 👉 [https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626)**
Hello Berlin, we're back!
After the last get-together where we started shaping the Berlin chapter, we're excited to invite you all together again for an insightful evening focused on AI Test Generation, community discussions - and YOU! The evening will bring together industry experts to share their knowledge, ask questions and learn something new. Whether you're a developer, QA engineer, or tech enthusiast, you'll gain valuable perspectives and practical experiences.
**✍ Registration:**
Reserve your spot by clicking "Attend" on this page.
Note - Participation is limited to 30 participants only.
**❓ What to Expect:**
• Talks from experienced speakers
• Networking with the local community
• A chance to speak on stage with 99 second talks
• Swag and goodies from MoT and our sponsors, TestMu AI
**🎤 Quality Talks**
*AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)*
*Ruslan Strazhnyk - Founder & CEO @ QualityMax*
Every QA tool vendor will tell you AI generates perfect tests. After building an AI test generation platform - and dogfooding it on our own codebase - I can tell you what actually happens. This talk is a practitioner’s honest debrief. I’ll walk through two years of running multi-model AI against real web apps: what produces usable tests, what produces confident-looking garbage, and where the failure modes hide.
Specifically, I’ll cover:
* Why reading code isn’t enough - AI generates plausible tests from source, but they fail on real UIs. Crawling the live app changes everything.
* The selector problem - LLMs reach for brittle CSS selectors by default. How to force better strategies without prompt-engineering every call.
* Assertions that rot - AI loves asserting exact text and prices. Why your generated suite breaks on the first content change, and how to catch it before CI does.
* Multi-model routing - no single model wins at everything. What we learned running GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini on the same flows.
* Self-healing in practice - the gap between “it healed” and “it healed correctly.”
You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating any AI test generation tool - or building your own - based on what the output actually does under pressure, not what the demo shows.
Level: Intermediate, assumes familiarity with Playwright or similar frameworks
*99 Second Talks*
Have something to share about testing, tech, or teamwork? Whether it's a win, a challenge, or a wild idea — you’ve got **99 seconds** and a room full of curious, supportive people. Take the stage!
**🕰️ Schedule:**
17:45 - Doors open (arrive early to mingle!)
18:00 - Welcome and Introduction
18.15 - Ruslan Strazhnyk: AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes:
Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles:
> You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with?
### Questions to Wrestle With
* If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt?
* Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep?
On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement?
I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!
Why Real Estate Investors Should Become Licensed Agents (And When Not To)
REGISTER HERE: [SIGN UP TODAY](https://link.elitereimm.com/widget/form/mUCJcb9LFDGoPqRg82jP?am_id=debbie4540)
Should a real estate investor get a real estate license? Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into.
In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**.
You’ll learn:
* **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow)
* How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways)
* The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals**
* How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures**
* What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements**
* When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one
* A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model**
You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
