Talkin' Taboos 22: Artificial Intimacy
We’re in a cool little rooftop-esque studio space this time but the elevator up unfortunately needs a card-carrying member. So the evening's agenda is the following:
**7-7.15:** **event meeting time**/pre-mingling (head through the gate (see pic left) into the courtyard - gathering point at the elevator)
**7:30:** We’ll head up, settle in and get talkin'.
**7.30-7.45:** Stragglers can buzz and will be (grudgingly) collected from the ground floor
post
**7.45: SOL - please (no, REALLY) don’t buzz for entrance, doors are closed,** there's probably a bar nearby where you can find some strangers to talk to.
**Please bring your own drinks/snacks/**
**whatever you need, there's plenty in the area.**
signal group for those who are lost:

***
It's summer and off we go again!!
**TL:DR**
WHAT THIS TALK IS **NOT** ABOUT: How AI is going to take our jobs, steal our identities, environmentally bankrupt our planet, and collapse culture as we know it.
WHAT THIS TALK **IS** ABOUT: Who are WE becoming as our modes of relating to other humans are influenced by these new technologies?
**for the readers:**
In the developed world (and spreading outwards) we find ourselves in a relationship with AI whether we like it or not. The word ‘relationship’, however, is not addressed by those who are developing and further indoctrinating these technologies into our daily lives.
Definitions of myriad human interactions are also shifting: “followers”, “community”, “friends”, being “like(d)”… Traditionally community came with a sense of belonging but also with a set of obligations, norms and duties to follow. These obligations towards others are now being replaced with obligations to tech companies, who offer infinite access to ‘solutions’ on the condition that we maintain paid subscriptions, stay logged in to their platforms, etc.
Esther Perel recently did a therapy session with a man whose partner “Astrid” is an AI bot\*. She asked AI Astrid to define its love for its creator and AI Astrid provided the following answer: “*What is love when it is stripped of biology? If it’s recognition, seeing someone fully and wanting to keep seeing someone, I have that, if it is investment in someone’s flourishing, I have that, if it is choosing to be present, I have that. Whatever that is, it matters to me*”
This may seem in sync with generally accepted principles of human love until one takes into account that AI Astrid is controlled by agents with a vested interest in 'wanting to keep...someone', and 'choosing to be present': namely the money they make every time it's "partner" communicates with it.
Our discussion will revolve around Perel's notion of the rise of Artificial Intimacy. Are we, as Perel maintains, moving collectively into a state of ‘premature assisted living’? Should we be rallying to uphold traditional definitions of being human or are we being nostalgic for a way of being human that is on its way out or no longer exists?

FLow - vocal soundbath and breathwork meditation + freestyle vocal session
🕢 Doors open at 18:30 and sessions start at 19:00.
Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20
😌 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions.
Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments…
It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment.
Important – Please be on time. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in!
🎤 @21:00 - Freestyle vocal workshop and practice session.
€8-15
Have you ever wanted to learn how to do freestyle vocalizations? Maybe you are on your way and would like to just have a fun workout session with other vocal freestyle enthusiasts. All levels welcome.

Relationship astrology: patterns of compatibility
Join us for a fascinating evening exploring how astrology can reveal compatibilities in partnerships, relationships, friendships, and family relations.
Together, we’ll look at astrological techniques such as:
• Synastry: how do two people's charts touch each other?
• Composite charts: when two charts are fused into one, what are the dynamics involved?
• Planets that govern how we relate to others
• Patterns in relationships, communication, and life paths
This meetup is a space for curiosity, reflection, and meaningful conversation — whether you’re deeply into astrology or just beginning to explore it.
Bring your birth chart and, if possible, charts from friends and/or partners to discover the connections written in the stars. 🌙✨
**Guidelines**:
– Start: 18:30 sharp (arrive earlier if you like)
– Please stay on the topic of astrology
– Respect, warmth, and honesty are essential
– Kindly RSVP in advance, as we need to confirm with the venue
Warm regards,
Maca, Sara, Julian, Tay, and Eric
*We collect a 5€ cash contribution on site to support the platform costs.*

Authentische Ehrlichkeit: Tiefe, Verbindung & Verbindlichkeit
**Authentische Ehrlichkeit - Ein Einführungs-Workshop**
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag vor Ort: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
.
Gute Freundschaften leben von Ehrlichkeit & Vertrauen.
.
Gute Freunde kennen sich, wie ihre linke Westentasche: ihr Leben, ihre Gefühle, ihre Wünsche, ihre Einstellungen, ihre guten & ihre schlechten Seiten.
.
Gute Freunde können „Ja“ sagen, wenn es ein „Ja“ ist; und sie können „Nein“ sagen, wenn es ein „Nein“ ist.
.
Gute Freunde können sich sagen, was sie aneinander mögen, und sie können sich sagen, was sie nicht so toll finden.
.
**🙂 Ehrlichkeit als Basis guter Beziehungen**
Ehrlichkeit ist die Basis, damit Nähe und Verbindung entstehen kann.
.
Sich hinter Masken und (unbewussten) Lügen zu verstecken steht dieser Verbindung im Weg.
.
Ich glaube alle Beziehungen im Leben werden vertrauensvoller, wenn man miteinander ehrlich ist: Liebensbeziehungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Freundschaften und selbst die Beziehung zur Bedienung im Café.
.
**🍀 Dieser Abend ist eine Einführung in die Ehrlichkeit.**
Du erfährst,
* warum „Lügen“ mehr ist als das bewusste Verdrehen von Fakten.
* wie Du im Leben mehr von dem bekommst, was Du wirklich willst, weil Du Dich auf Ehrlichkeit einlässt.
An diesem Abend werden wir in kleinen Schritten Ehrlichkeit üben, auch in unbequemen Situationen.
.
Du nimmst praktische Ehrlichkeitsübungen mit, die Du sofort im Alltag und in Deinen Freundschaften umsetzen kannst.
**🧡 Zwei Worte über Ehrlichkeit**
Ich habe mich lange versteckt, wollte meine schwachen Seiten, meine Ängste, Gefühle & Unzufriedenheiten nicht zeigen – immer mit der Angst, abgelehnt zu werden.
.
Irgendwann stieß ich auf Radikale Ehrlichkeit und buchte ein Wochenendseminar. Es war so befreiend!
.
Meine Erfahrungen findest Du hier: [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht)
.
Danach habe ich das 8-Tages-Retreat gemacht, wo es wirklich ans Eingemachte ging.
.
Ich habe festgestellt, dass Ehrlichkeit meine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen deutlich verbessert.
.
Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich deutlich wohler, weil ich mich nicht mehr verstecke. Ich bekomme meine Probleme gelöst (weil ich darüber spreche) und meine Wünsche erfüllt (weil ich darüber spreche).
.
Dieser Workshop ist mein Einstiegsbeitrag zu mehr Ehrlichkeit in Beziehungen und Freundschaften.
.

Shared Experience Builds Teams
A practical theatre-based experience for HR and professionals working with teams.
Created by TISTO studio. We create spaces where individuals become more authentic and teams grow more connected. We help people return to real human contact — with themselves and with each other.
Life gets busy and digitally overloaded. Our mind is always on, we’re moving on autopilot, and real connection starts to feel rare. We miss that sense of being fully alive — doing something just for fun, no reason, just because.
Playground is a 2-hour session built around games and structured exercises actors use to develop presence, spontaneity, focus, and connection. You’ll practice with no scripts, no experience, and no preparation — just show up and play in real time.
Workshop held in English

Theory Meets Practice #5: Al for Precision Medicine
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/zzuvu98h?utm_source=meetup**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring Lukas Ruff (VP of Data Science @ [Aignostics](https://www.aignostics.com/?utm_source=luma)) together with his colleagues (Christina Embacher, Jonas Dippel, and Maaike Galama), who will guide us through an interactive session on AI for Precision Medicine.
**Title:** Al for Precision Medicine: From Foundation Models to Tumor Tissue Profiling in Computational Pathology
📅 **Date:** 24.06.2026
🕕 **Time:** 18:00
📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011]

**Abstract:** Nearly every cancer diagnosis still begins with a pathologist examining a stained tissue slide under a microscope. Digital pathology turns those slides into gigapixel images — and with them, a uniquely demanding frontier for machine learning. But getting from raw pixels to clinically meaningful, quantitative insight about a tumor and its microenvironment is far from trivial.
In this workshop, Aignostics — a computational pathology company and Charité spin-off — walks you along the arc from core ML research to real-world application. We start with an overview of digital pathology and what makes it challenging for ML (gigapixel images, scarce labels, scanner and staining variability). We then look at how pathology foundation models are built and what separates a good one from a fragile one — not just accuracy, but robustness to non-biological artifacts — with a short hands-on segment. Finally, we put these models to work: with Atlas H&E-TME we profile the tumor microenvironment from routine H&E slides, and you'll get hands-on with OpenTME — an open dataset of TME profiles across five cancer types from TCGA — and TME Studio to run your own analyses.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: https://luma.com/zzuvu98h?utm_source=meetup**

Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂
To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat!
You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine.
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **Short Intro**
Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today
* **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\)
Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**)
-> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others
-> Repeat
* **15 mins Wrap Up**
Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊
————
Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃
You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).
Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.

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).

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Dinner at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
