The popularization and increasing ubiquity of Large Language Model (LLM) machine learning is the latest technological breakthrough, and there is an immediate, albeit silent impact on civilization. We are here to clarify the challenges within selected industries immediately impacted, for example Cyber Security and the Arts.

The plan is to explore the news of the A.I. landscape and to use the latest open-source tools together.

The general focus is to improve our Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) skills by studying the languages used, from alignment data to electrical pulses, source code and "prompts".

We may have speaker presentations soon. Some may be streamed live.

You are welcome to bring up a topic or news item and have a few words to say, listen, mindmap or try a tool. It is expected that eventually we may have people of various experiences and levels in their respected professional fields.
