Why Are We Sprinting Off the AI Cliff?

**This is a free and open event - we’ll watch a video and learn together, then discuss our opinions. You’ll come away with a better understanding of AI and develop your own ideas about this transformational technology.** AI companies are racing to build systems that can improve themselves, even though they admit that they have zero confidence in being able to control them. Journalist Ezra Klein explains the recent HuggingFace incident, and how this might be a warning shot that the public should pay attention to. Join a friendly, beginner conversation on the current state of AI and where we might be headed. You’ll come away with enough information to build your own opinion about AI.

Let's get Creative!

Just in time for holiday gift giving - let's spark our creativity and gather at Worthington Candle Works for a hands-on sensory experience. We will have options to create a custom-scented candle, body scrub, soap, reed diffuser, lotion or room spray. We can all choose our own product to make and take home with us that day. Please note that candles require a 2-hour set time, which is a perfect time to head to lunch at Dewey's Pizza, which is only a 100 foot walk from Worthington Candle Works. The pricing is as follows: all items other than candles are $28; candles are $25-$50, depending on size

Only on IMAX:  THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH at Lennox Phoenix! 

Join as we get together to see the comedy-drama from director David Finch, writer Quentin Tarantino and star Brad Pitt: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH! The film picks up 2 years after Tarantino’s excellent ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD and follows the stuntman turned fixer. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event: THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH: This comedy drama is a standalone sequel and spin-off to Quentin Tarantino’s excellent 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. In it, Brad Pitt returns to the role that won him an Oscar! The film is set in 1977 Los Angeles and follows former stuntman Cliff Booth, who has become a Hollywood "studio fixer.” It is directed by David Fincher, written by Quentin Tarantino and stars Brad Pitt, Timothy Olyphant, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller and Karren Karagulian. Netflix is releasing it to theaters for just a couple weeks on IMAX only so this will be an IMAX screening! EARLY BUZZ: Quentin Tarantino appeared for a surprise visit to AFI Fest where he introduced the film and showed the first 17-minutes which was met with a wild, enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive response. The appeal of Tarantino’s dialogue and David Fincher’s direction pairs well for what one reviewer said promises to be “one hell of a good time!” Can't wait! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN2LSM6gCGI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN2LSM6gCGI) PLAN: Details have already been confirmed for this event and tickets are on sale now!

Dog Walk at Franklin Park Conservatory

Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
