June Book Club on AI: Empire of AI

Welcome to Meet the Moment Book Club, where we read books that meet the moment and make sense of it all together. Please see our [group page](https://www.meetup.com/meet-the-moment-book-club/) for a list of upcoming books. After discussing collapse, our third book club will examine one of the key drivers of collapse: artificial intelligence. Karen Hao's international bestseller "Empire of AI" is as illuminating as it is brilliantly written. It's precisely the book we need to be clear-eyed about the much-hyped sector of AI. "An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI... In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society." https://www.amazon.com.au/Empire-AI-Inside-reckless-domination/dp/1802064656/ We will be meeting at the Erko Hotel, in the open area in the back. There's no fee, but please purchase your own food/drinks from the venue. If you have trouble getting the book, message me. It's okay if you haven't finished the book by the time of the event, but please at least try -- the more the merrier! If the RSVP list is full, please join the waiting list as there will likely be fluctuations closer to the date. If you RSVP'ed and can't make it, please edit your RSVP so that others can attend. No-shows will be noted and barred from the book club. Please try to be on time as we start and end on time. Look forward to seeing you there.

Sydney Interactive First Timers Speed Dating

**🌈 Speed Dating without the Venue for Sydney People Ready to Meet — Personality First** Throughout the event, you'll cycle through curated Zoom speed rounds with Sydney singles matched by age and personality, with a real host running the session throughout. Before you join, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — the matching data comes from to match you with Sydney people who are actually compatible, so every round is informed by more than just looks. Once the event finishes, we reveal your mutual connections — only when the interest is confirmed mutual — and from that point you call the shots. **Register under your age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=499.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Sydney&groupurlname=club-for-meaningful-connections-and-brunch&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=499.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Sydney&groupurlname=club-for-meaningful-connections-and-brunch&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=499.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Sydney&groupurlname=club-for-meaningful-connections-and-brunch&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=499.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Sydney&groupurlname=club-for-meaningful-connections-and-brunch&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Two steps needed:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so use your age group link above to register and complete the short personality quiz — spots are kept small by design so register promptly, and only the combination of both confirms your attendance. --- **This is for you if:** - Those across Sydney leaving behind conversations that fizzle before a first date and prefer meeting people in person first. - Individuals in the Sydney area fed up with shallow connections that never lead anywhere and want real chemistry over profile photos. - Professionals across Sydney getting away from app fatigue and empty match queues and are ready for something genuine instead. - First-timers around Sydney done with digital dating that never converts to anything real and are ready for something that feels natural. **The evening in four steps** 1. **Select your age range** – via your age group registration link, then finish the compatibility quiz, since this is how you are officially confirmed. 2. **Launch Zoom** – via your Zoom registration link at the right time, works on any modern device with a camera, and from that moment the host runs the whole show. 3. **Speed date** – quick back-to-back rounds with Sydney singles tailored to your age bracket, with the host managing every round transition, as the work of finding compatible people was done for you. 4. **Discover your matches** – mutual connections are confirmed and sent after the session, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and you connect whenever you would like to with no pressure. ⭐ *"Went in sceptical, left happy — I matched with someone I genuinely liked"* – Sydney speed dater --- ✨ Your next match could be one Zoom call away — book your spot above and we will do the rest this week. The rounds are better than you think. 💖 ✨
