Humans can often move naturally between perception and language: we can look at something and describe it, or read something and form a mental picture. In machine learning, though, models for language and vision are usually trained separately, so it is easy to assume that they learn entirely different internal representations. The Platonic Representation Hypothesis argues that this may not be true, and presents evidence that different models can converge toward similar underlying representations. In this meetup, we will walk through the paper, unpack its main ideas and results, and discuss the possible implications for how we think about intelligence, multimodal models, and the structure of learned representations.

**2026-tól a PPC Pro Meetupokon való részvétel az alapítvány támogatásához (3000 Ft/alkalom) és előzetes regisztrációhoz kötött!** Program: 17:45-18:00 érkezés 18:05-18:35 Tarcsi Krisztián előadása 18:35-19:05 Kató Tamás előadása 19:05-19:15 szünet 19:15-19:45 Geiger Tamás előadása 19:45 kérdések, esemény zárás **Előadók:** Tarcsi Krisztián, Co-founder (AdKex) **Search Intelligence: több adat, jobb döntések Google Ads-ben** Miért nem látod a Google Ads-ben azt, ami igazán számít? Megmutatom, hogyan használhat egy PPC ügynökség saját adatgyűjtést és elemzést arra, hogy olyan insightokat találjon, amelyek valódi versenyelőnyt és mérhető üzleti eredményeket hoznak. Kató Tamás, Digitális Stratéga - Google Ads szakértő **A láthatatlan hatás: dark traffic, zero-click és amit a dashboardod nem mutat meg** Azt hisszük, hogy amit nem mérünk, az nem hat. Pedig a legjobb kampányok egy részét soha nem látod a riportban, mert a döntés már a kattintás előtt megszületett, és privát csatornákon, DM-ekben, Slack-szálakban zajlott le. Ez az előadás nem a mérés technikai javításáról szól, hanem arról, hogyan gondolkodj stratégaként egy olyan világban, ahol a hatás és az adat egyre távolabb kerül egymástól. Geiger Tamás, digitális analitika szakértő, COO (JabJab) **Google Tag Gateway - Kell ez nekünk?** Nem biztos, hogy egyértelmű minden hirdető számára, mi az a Google Tag Gateway, kell-e egyáltalán, esetleg mi van, ha már kiépített Server Side Tagging üzemel. Előadásomban tisztába teszem az előnyeit, leheséges hátrányait, bemutatom az egyszerűbb és bonyolultabb beüzemelés módozatait és kitérek arra, van-e teendő, ha már aktívan használja valaki a server-side GTM-et.

The winning movie gets screened next Wednesday. * We’ll do our best to provide **English or Hungarian subtitles** (we will specify it in advance). **What to expect** * A curated film with philosophical depth * A projector and casual atmosphere. The first to arrive gets the sofa. * An optional discussion after the screening for those who fancy talking about it. **Practical details** Location: Kisvilág Kulturális és Társadalmi Alapítvány You can arrive from 18:00 to get your seat, order some popcorn and have an introduction of the movie.

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Monthly Book Club, the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing their thoughts together. This month, we’ll be reading Humble Pi by Matt Parker a funny, surprising, and eye-opening book about what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world. From computer glitches and engineering mistakes to everyday miscalculations, the book shows how deeply our modern lives rely on numbers and how absurd the results can be when something goes slightly off. It’s an entertaining read that opens the door to conversations about technology, logic, human error, and the strange ways small mistakes can lead to very big consequences. 🕕 **Time:** 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time) 📍 **Location: Csiga Cafe**

Every Saturday at 8:00 PM, we gather in the city to share languages, cultures, and conversations. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CrJ7hXrYgckCM0f1D4kRUZ)] Our group is made up of friendly 20s–30s people — locals, expats, and travelers alike — who come together to meet new people and explore different ways of thinking. Whether you’re new to Budapest or call it home, this meetup is your chance to connect in a relaxed, open-minded space. Join us to swap stories, practice new languages, and build genuine friendships across cultures.

Sziasztok! **English below** Szeretnél egy kis szünetet tartani a rohanó városi életben? Vagy csak kipróbálnál valami újat egy jó társaságban? Nálunk egyszerű és nagyszerű a koncepció: mindenki hozza a saját könyvét, amiben egy órán át, teljes csendben haladhat. Az olvasás után pedig jöhet a legjobb rész, a kötetlen beszélgetés, ahol megosztjuk egymással, ki mit olvasott. Hogy miről szoktunk beszélgetni? Bármiről! A témáink a madarak evolúciójától kezdve, az Ubuntu (a boldogság afrikai filozófiája) szemléletén át egészen addig terjedhetnek, hogy milyen hatással van a Hold a szervezetre. **Fontos:** Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. 📍 **Helyszín és Találkozó:** Irány a Margit-sziget! A közös találkozási pontunk a **Zenélő szökőkútnál** lesz. Onnan együtt keresünk egy kényelmes, árnyas-füves helyet a sziget közepén. Keressetek egy könyvekkel felszerelt csapatot, mi leszünk azok! ⏰ **Késel egy picit?** Semmi gond! Ha már nem találsz minket a találkozási ponton, nézd meg az esemény kommentjeit – oda fogjuk kiposztolni a pontos koordinátákat, hogy hol telepedtünk le. **MIt hozz magaddal?** * Az aktuális könyvedet. * Egy plédet vagy pokrócot, amin kényelmesen elhelyezkedsz. * Inni- és rágcsálnivalót ízlés szerint. **A Menetrend:** * **14:30–15:00** – Találkozó és helykeresés. 14:40-ig várunk a megbeszélt ponton, majd együtt keresünk egy zöld területet, ahol megtartjuk a bemutatkozó kört. * **15:00–16:00** – A csendes olvasás órája. * **16:00–17:00** – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul). * **17:00- –** Kötetlen beszélgetés A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél! Várunk szeretettel! 📌 [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club) 📌 [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835) \*\*\* **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A meetup regisztráció költségeire gyűjtünk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk.
