Cthulhu Mythos & Call of Cthulhu

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Quel que soit le logiciel, nous sommes tous confrontés à cette question désormais constante : pourquoi une bonne intention de départ échoue (ou réussit) dans l'usage d'un logiciel ? Déployer Nextcloud est un enjeu. Réussir à le faire adopter par ses utilisateurs en est un autre, encore plus important ! Pourquoi certains projets rencontrent un succès tandis que d’autres peinent à décoller ? Que devient cette question lancinante avec Nextcloud ? Nous explorons les facteurs-clés de réussite et les erreurs à éviter. Que vous soyez administrateur système, développeur ou responsable d’un projet de déploiement, venez échanger vos retours d’expérience concrets et vos bonnes (ou mauvaises) pratiques : * Pourquoi l’adoption échoue ? Examinons les plus universelles comme la résistance naturelle au changement, les problèmes d’ergonomie, l'accompagnement trop ténu, les obstacles imprévus de déploiement. * Les clés d’une adoption réussie dans Nextcloud : accueil et accompagnement déjà inclus dans le logiciel, les compléments tout cuits à utiliser, la formation, la communication, choisir des outils et des usages pertinents * Nos retours d’expérience avec les bonnes surprises qui ont fonctionnées (et les mauvaises ...) dans différents contextes * L'importance de mesurer et d'améliorer l’adoption du point de vue des administrateurs et des sponsors qui défendent le projet. Quels indicateurs, comment attirer les commentaires des utilisateurs, comment s'appuyer sur la méthode des itérations ? Comment l'annoncer d'emblée ? Une consommation sera proposée sur place pour agrémenter la soirée. Profitez de cette opportunité pour prendre du recul sur vos déploiements et échanger avec d’autres passionnés confrontés aux mêmes enjeux. Inscrivez-vous dès maintenant et préparez-vous à une soirée riche en discussions et en retours d’expérience ! Nous avons hâte de vous y retrouver !

Une soirée fun et conviviale autour des jeux de rôle :) Plusieurs tables, plusieurs univers. Entrez, sortez dans ces mondes que vous créerez avec votre imagination collective. Accessible aux personnes n'ayant jamais fait du jeu de rôle. **\*-----------------------------** **C'est un évènement très demandé !** **Merci de ne vous inscrire que si vous comptez venir.** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\*** Prix d'entrée du café-jeux à 10 €, dont une boisson comprise et des jeux à volonté. Nous ne pouvons garantir les places que jusqu'à 19h.

Notre meet-up réunit une fois par semaine anglophiles et francophiles de plus de cinquante ans afin de discuter de tout et de rien. Le but est d'offrir la possibilité aux uns et aux autres de pratiquer la langue dans laquelle ils souhaiteraient se perfectionner dans un cadre convivial. Nos directives sont de s'amuser et de respecter les différents points de vue et antécédents personnels. Il est interdit d'insulter ou de dénigrer d'autres membres en raison de leurs antécédents personnels. Le meet-up se termine précisément à 18h. Si vous souhaitez rester après 18h, veuillez vous déplacer dans une autre partie du café afin que la direction comprenne bien que la réunion est terminée. Nous vous invitons à prendre au moins une boisson pour soutenir le cafe. Si vous arrivez tard, vous pouvez commander au bar et le café vous apportera votre commande. Our meet-up group meets once a week. We are English and French speakers of a "certain age" (over 50), and we meet to talk about everything and nothing. The goal is to offer each of us the chance to practice whichever language he/she is learning, or just to have a conversation in either language with a friendly group in a relaxing atmosphere. Our guidelines are to have fun and to be respectful of different points of view and personal backgrounds. Insulting or disparaging other members because of their personal background is not permitted. Our meet-up ends promptly at 6pm. If you wish to remain after 6 pm, please move to a different section of the café so it is clear to management that the meet-up has ended. Please buy at least a drink to support the café. If you arrive late, you can order at the bar and they will bring your order to you.

**Important**: Register on the [Event Website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026052010) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Paris, in collaboration with **Lenstra**. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agent, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \- 6:00pm\~6:40pm: Checkin\, food and networking \- 6:40pm\~6:45pm: Welcome\, Community update \- 6:45pm\~8:15pm: Tech talks and Q&A \- 8:15pm\~9:00pm: Open discussion\, Mixer and Closing\. **Tech Talk: AI Regulation in Practice: Impact on Your Projects and Development Workflow** **Speaker:** Thomas Mattone - AI Adoption Lead at Lenstra **Abstract:** The EU AI Act was released in June 2024. Despite the risk of fines of up to 7% of global revenue, many companies are still unaware of it and have yet to comply with its rules on AI systems. The AI Act places concrete obligations on the models you integrate, the systems you build on top of them, and the features you ship. We will walk through the European AI regulatory landscape and the rules around AI models, transparency, data governance, and human oversight. We will then turn to a shift the AI Act barely anticipated: the rapid rise of AI agents in organizations. The global adoption of vibe coding raises new risks, from data leakage to unvetted generated code. Discover how regulation impacts your AI projects, and how to build compliant workflows. **Tech Talk: GitHub Copilot CLI and SDK** **Speaker:** Romain Boudet, CTO Hexagone AI **Abstract:** Most AI product starts with an API call. From the start we realized that at scale, that model simply does not work. In this talk, we will share how we rebuilt our pipeline from the ground up using only local models on limited GPU hardware. We will walk through the architectural decisions that made it possible: multi-model orchestration, context window management across pipeline stages, VRAM-aware concurrency, and LoRA fine-tuning for task-specific performance. This is a talk about the engineering reality of owning your stack, what it cost and what it buys you. **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will have the chance to speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, and gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ Paris and 500K+ developers worldwide.

Bonjour à toutes et tous ! ✨ Je reviens vers vous concernant notre prochaine séance de lecture 📖 Pour notre rendez-vous du samedi 23 mai 2026 à 15h00, les membres ont choisi de découvrir *Le Mythe de Sisyphe* de Albert Camus. ⛰️ Cette fois-ci, nous nous éloignons un peu de la littérature pour explorer un texte philosophique majeur. Même si nous restons dans le thème de la mythologie à travers la figure de Sisyphe, Camus s’en sert surtout comme point de départ pour réfléchir à l’absurde, à la liberté et à la quête de sens. Une lecture exigeante, mais profondément humaine et toujours actuelle. ♾️✨ Comme toujours, nous nous retrouverons autour d’un café ou d’un thé ☕ pour échanger librement sur nos impressions, nos interrogations et nos réflexions, dans un esprit convivial et bienveillant. Au plaisir de vous retrouver pour cette nouvelle exploration philosophique ✨ À très bientôt, Jade

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
