AI and Society

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

At InnoIT Consulting, we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming event, organized in collaboration with Claude *Code Barcelona*, on **Wednesday, May 20**. 🎙️*Claude Code: Scaling AI Agents & Security in the Wild* **SUMMARY** We will be joined by **[Dror Asaf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drorasaf/)** (Co-Founder & CTO, Kovant) and **[Joaquín Gamiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaquin-gamiz)** (Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor). **🎙️ From Chaos to Marketplace: A Practical Guide to Sharing AI Agent Best Practices at Scale,** Dror Asaf As AI agents become central to development workflows, the real challenge is no longer adoption — it's **scaling them without letting knowledge become siloed** within individuals or teams. At Kovant, this challenge drove a progressive evolution: from ad hoc use in individual repositories to a central instructions repository, to a **dynamic skills system** that adapted to the context per project, ultimately culminating in an **internal plugin marketplace** that made sharing capabilities intuitive. Along the way, we discovered which simple approaches broke down at scale — and which solutions actually held up. This talk provides a **clear framework for managing agent knowledge** based on organizational maturity, along with practical lessons and actionable starting points for any team looking to consolidate **scattered knowledge into shared infrastructure**. **🎙️ Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor,** Joaquín Gamiz Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en **tareas de reconocimiento** y **fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team)**, y también como **apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team)**. Esta charla explora qué significa realmente ser hacker, desmontando mitos y conceptos erróneos, y se adentra en un **laboratorio práctico con Claude Code** — cubriendo su configuración, el contexto y las reglas de uso. Se introduce **MCP** como el mecanismo que permite a los modelos interactuar con herramientas, y se recorren distintos objetivos y metodologías de testing. A través de ejercicios prácticos, se muestra cómo **detectar vulnerabilidades en una web**, interpretar **resultados de Nmap** para priorizar riesgos y definir siguientes pasos, y finalmente cómo Claude Code también puede apoyar al **blue team** — demostrando su valor tanto en **escenarios ofensivos como defensivos**. With time for a dynamic **Q&A session and, of course, our networking with food 🍕 and drinks 🍻.** **👥 Do you want to come along?** Share this invitation with all your contacts, or click the "share" button below. **WHEN:** Wednesday, May 20 at 6:30 PM **WHERE:** Oficinas InnoIT Consulting, [C/ Diputació, 280, Bajos 2ª, 08009, Barcelona](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zC6Sf2jUogxauX317) **LANGUAGE:** English & Spanish **Join our [newsletter](https://www.inno-it.es/newsletter/)!** Don't miss out on upcoming events, exciting news and special job offers.

At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams. *By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder* **Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)** A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team). This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios. *By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **InnoIT** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **🎉 ¡Ya está aquí nuestro siguiente evento!** Después del éxito del estreno, estamos encantados de anunciar el siguiente evento de Claude Code Barcelona. ¡No te pierdas estas dos charlas y su correspondiente networking, esta vez gracias a nuestro nuevo host, InnoIT! **⚠️** E**l aforo es limitado .** Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes.

If you are deep in either space, you will find your people here. We are also very interested in where AI and crypto meet, including agentic systems, automated finance, and new coordination models. What to expect • Real conversations about what people are actually building • War stories, ideas, experiments, and lessons learned • A relaxed environment where you can meet people naturally No pressure to pitch. No structured talks. Just good people and good discussions. Why join • Meet high quality builders in Barcelona • Exchange ideas without the noise of formal events • Find collaborators, hires, or new opportunities 🍺 🍷 Drinks on us, both alcoholic and non alcoholic We try to keep the group high signal. If you are actively building or deeply involved in AI or crypto, you will get the most out of it.

**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.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
