WPMI Giugno | WordPress 7 ed i pericoli del suo nuovo client AI
Ciao! Dopo WordCamp Torino e WordCamp Europe abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per organizzare il nostro incontro, anche se con un po' di ritardo.
L'appuntamento di giugno è per **martedì 16 alle 19**, **sempre al Politecnico di Milano ma in una nuova sede:**
**Via Edoardo Bassini, 6 / Edificio 41**
**Link Google Maps:**
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxQp1JNsqSXWRDRQ8
Ed ecco il talk di questo mese:
**WordPress 7.0 ed il suo nuovo client AI**
I pericoli del nuovo Client AI di WordPress:
"da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità", ma qui non tutti sembrano rendersene conto.
La decisione su quale modello usare e quale tetto di token imporre è delegata interamente al plugin, via codice, senza alcun limite globale lato amministratore. Tradotto: un plugin scritto con leggerezza, che non limita i token in uscita o preferisce di default un modello costoso, può bruciare cifre importanti a tua insaputa, e te ne accorgi solo leggendo la fattura.

Saremo in diretta streaming
Non puoi partecipare di persona? Noi non ti giudicheremo! :) Se vuoi, puoi seguirci anche in diretta streaming su YouTube. Il link sarà visibile solo una volta che avrai fatto la tua iscrizione all'evento. Durante la diretta, se vorrai, potrai intervenire anche tu usando una webcam e un microfono per dire la tua: basterà usare il link che verrà fornito via chat.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
In breve, ecco come sarà organizzata la serata:
19:00 Benvenuto + networking
19:20 Panel (di circa 50 minuti)
20:10 Domande e risposte
20:30 Fine; Chi vuole può continuare il networking in un bar o pizzeria vicino al luogo dell’evento. All’inizio dell’incontro faremo il conteggio per prenotare: per non creare disguidi conferma la presenza solo se sei sicuro di venire.
Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo?
Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone.
Vuoi essere speaker? Beh, nulla di più facile: Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/). Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli.
Ci vediamo lì! 😉

10. ZGBit! - Digitalna rješenja za zeleni Zagreb
🌳💻 Poziv na 10. ZGBit: Digitalna rješenja za zeleni Zagreb
Dragi svi,
pozivamo vas na 10. ZGBit, u organizaciji Gradskog ureda za digitalizaciju, nove tehnologije i tehničke poslove Grada Zagreba, koji ovoga puta posvećujemo temi:
👉 Kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći gradovima u prilagodbi klimatskim promjenama
Klimatske promjene i urbanizacija sve više utječu na kvalitetu života u gradovima. Jedan od izazova s kojima se suočava i Zagreb je pojava urbanih toplinskih otoka – područja u kojima su temperature znatno više zbog izgrađenosti i nedostatka zelenih površina.
Na ovom ZGBit-u predstavit ćemo kako Grad Zagreb koristi koncept digitalnog blizanca grada za analizu urbanih toplinskih otoka, planiranje sadnje drveća i razvoj učinkovitijih mjera ozelenjivanja gradskih površina.
🔍 Što vas očekuje?
• predstavljanje projekta digitalnog blizanca Grada Zagreba kao alata za prilagodbu klimatskim promjenama
• prikaz kako podaci i digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u planiranju zelenih površina i smanjenju učinaka urbanih toplinskih otoka
• međunarodni primjer dobre prakse iz Norveške
• pregled mogućnosti suradnje između javnog sektora, stručnjaka, građana i inovacijske zajednice u stvaranju zelenijeg i otpornijeg grada
🤝 Događaj je namijenjen:
• predstavnicima gradova i javne uprave
• stručnjacima iz područja urbanog planiranja, GIS-a, zaštite okoliša i digitalizacije
• članovima IT, startup i inovacijske zajednice
• predstavnicima akademske i istraživačke zajednice
• svim građanima zainteresiranima za održivi razvoj i budućnost Zagreba
📍 Lokacija: Zagrebački energetski centar (ZEC), Maksimirska cesta 51
📅 Datum i vrijeme: 18. lipnja 2026. u 17:00 sati
Događaj se održava uz podršku Veleposlanstva Kraljevine Norveške u RH.
Dođite i saznajte kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u stvaranju zelenijeg, otpornijeg i ugodnijeg Zagreba za život.
Vidimo se na 10. ZGBit-u!

🌸Turn Thursday into Small Friday: Zagreb’s International Meetup🌍
Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together.
Hey everyone! 👋
As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure.
Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨
Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome.
📍 **When & Where**
📍 **The Beertija**
Pavla Hatza 16, Zagreb
🕗 **Every other Thursday from 8PM**
✨ Free to join: simply grab a drink and support our host bar 🍺🎸
✨ Open to everyone: all ages, backgrounds and language levels
💬 **What Happens at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)**?
Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere where conversations flow naturally.
🗣️ La**nguage Exchange**
English, Croatian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian… and often more.
🌍 **Cultural Exchange**
Locals, expats, travellers and Erasmus students sharing stories, experiences and perspectives.
🤝 **New Connections**
Real conversations, genuine laughs, and the occasional new friend.
📅 **Weekend Planning**
People often end up planning hikes, concerts, trips, festivals or nights out together.
No formal structure, no pressure, just people meeting people.
🌸 **Why Join in Spring?**
Spring is when Zagreb truly comes alive.
Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city.
At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season.
It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together.
And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍
🍺 **Why The Beertija?**
Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters.
Expect:
🌿 leafy terrace vibes
🎸 rock-inspired atmosphere
🍺 excellent beers
🛋️ relaxed living-room energy
🚭 non-smoking indoor space
It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one drink and suddenly realise the evening flew by.
💡 **First-Timer Tip**
If it’s your first time:
👋 arrive early
🙂 smile and say hello
💬 jump into a conversation
Everyone was new once and that’s how all starts.
🌍 **Join the Crew**
[SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) is a community built by the people who show up.
So if your Thursday evening could use a little more conversation, laughter and international energy, come by and join us.
Bring a friend if you like, or come solo and meet new ones.
✨Ditch the screen, grab a drink, meet the world🌍
See you on Small Friday! 🍻
**SFIZ Crew**
P.S. Spread the word
https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb
🔎 **How to Spot Us**
New here? Best trick is to swing by right at the start, that’s when it’s easiest to find the crew and jump straight in, or ask the bar staff about the event ✨
Need quick updates or can’t see us straight away? No worries, our [WhatsApp group](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/faq/sfiz-whatsapp-guide-keeping-it-fun-and-respectful) is where you can ask quick questions.

Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Weekend Course with Amrita Rani
Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Online Course
We warmly invite you to join the Rainbow Body Yoga Level 1 Course, a transformative practice from the Open Heart tradition. The course is taught by Amrita Rani, an ordained sangha member and trained Open Heart instructor.
You are welcome to join either in person in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, or online via Zoom.
Rainbow Body Yoga is a profound tantric non-meditation practice designed to deconstruct the selfing mechanism of the mind. Through the Guru mantras of Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, subtle energy practices, and dynamic concentration, we cut through self-based energies that block the direct recognition of our natural state.
Although regarded within the tradition as a post-awakening purification practice, you do not need to be awakened to begin. The practice itself deepens recognition of the selfless state, supporting further awakenings and the maturation of clarity. Both those who have experienced awakening shifts and those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path are warmly welcome.
This carefully structured sequence works directly with the causal body, where self-based energies are stored. We examine the klesha of ignorance (avidya), the root of existential suffering. With the Guru’s blessings, RBY techniques, and vipashyana (direct seeing), even the subtlest layers of selfing can be cut through.
As the practice deepens, you become familiar with the clarity and aliveness of your enlightened mind. Eventually, you recognize that wakeful awareness has always been present, even within negative thoughts and emotions.
As mental clutter dissolves into the natural state, increased clarity brings deep healing. Self-sabotaging patterns can be liberated, and the energy once consumed by worry and rumination becomes available to you.
Practiced consistently, Rainbow Body Yoga reveals the natural luminosity of selfless awareness and leads toward the realization of emptiness, not as a concept, but as a living experience.
These precious practices were given to Amrita Baba by Padmasambhava through visionary transmission, offering a direct path beyond self-based suffering.
Level 1 provides a grounded and systematic introduction, enabling you to continue confidently with your home practice. The process is powerful, deeply rewarding, and often brings tangible results relatively quickly.
You’re welcome to join either of the weekend courses, or both, if you wish. However, attending just one weekend is already enough to begin practicing on your own.
First Weekend Course
📅 20–21 June 2026
🕒 3:00–9:00 pm (CET)
Dinner break approximately 6:00–7:30 pm each day
Participation fee:
Sliding scale €100–200, depending on your financial situation.
Please make your payment in advance via PayPal to: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com
Register by emailing Amrita Rani at kaisaeskeli@gmail.com. You will receive the Zoom link for all sessions. If you are joining in person, you will receive the address of the event location in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia.
Welcome all!
Open Heart Meditation with Amrita Rani
Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani
(Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom)
You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience.
These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path.
At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place.
A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time.
Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support.
Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.
Participation fee:
15 € per session
Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Can Artificial Intelligence “See”?
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Can Artificial Intelligence ‘See’?”** A look at how humans and artificial intelligence systems interpret the visual world in fundamentally different ways, with Arryn Robbins, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Richmond and cognitive scientist who researches visual attention, perception, and category learning.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-can-AI-see) .]
Artificial intelligence can now identify faces, categorize objects, describe scenes, and outperform humans on certain visual tasks. But does AI actually “see” the world the way that people do? Or does it arrive at correct answers using representations that differ markedly from human perception?
Join Arryn Robbins of the University of Richmond for a fascinating exploration of how humans and AI construct meaning from visual information and a look at comparisons between human perception and AI that reveal just how dynamic and context-dependent our own visual systems really are.
Dr. Robbins, who previously has given excellent Profs and Pints talks on flaws and biases in human visual perception, will draw from research in cognitive science, visual perception, and AI vision systems.
She’ll explain how human perception is not merely a simple recording of the world, but an active process shaped by expectations, context, goals, and recent experience. You’ll learn how humans form flexible mental representations that allow us to recognize objects across changing environments and conditions, and why those representations continuously adapt as we interact with the world.
Many AI systems, by contrast, learn visual categories through statistical patterns in data. They can produce impressive results, but sometimes they also produce strange and unexpected failures, and sometimes they classify images in ways that seem strange to us.
Dr. Robbins will discuss what these differences reveal about the nature of perception itself, and why the mismatch between human and AI representations matters for technologies like self-driving cars, medical imaging, facial recognition, and automated surveillance.
Important for anyone trying to understand the rapidly growing role of AI in daily life, this talk will explore one of the biggest questions in cognitive science and artificial intelligence: What does it actually mean to “see” and understand the world? (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)
