Jak se fotí strat kosmické rakety
LIVE TALK \| Jak se fotí start kosmické rakety?
Honza Březina se s námi podějí o jeho nadšení ke kosmickému programu, fotografii a cestování.
Přijďte si poslechnout, jak už od 16 let jezdí fotografovat starty kosmických raket do USA. Fotí starty raketoplánů, Falconů 9, Delty IV, ale fotil i Starship či Blue Origin ještě před startem. Měl možnost navštívit řídící centra v Housonu a na Cape Canaveral.
Připravil si pro vás povídání o tom, co je všechno možné a hlavně hromadu fotografií s tematikou kosmického programu.
Přijměte jeho srdeční pozvání!
REAL MEN: DESIRES AND SEXUALITY
A straightforward, grounded men’s gathering about navigating difficult periods — stress, emotional heaviness, burnout, and the moments when life feels unclear.
It’s a space where men talk honestly, listen to each other without judgment, and learn practical tools for staying steady during challenging phases.
You can share or stay quiet — both are welcome.
What matters is being in a room where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
Good for men who want clarity, brotherhood, stability, and a real conversation about what’s actually going on under the surface.
Facilitated by Zdeny Cibulka and Prabodh Prem.

Hypothetical Agentic Unicorn Clinic: Improving Random Ideas until Perfect
\#\# The Premise
What if you could take any idea — half-baked, borrowed, ridiculous, too early, too late — and run it through a gauntlet of AI agents and sharp minds until it either becomes bulletproof or reveals exactly why it doesn't work?
That's this meetup.
\*\*The Hypothetical Agentic Unicorn Clinic\*\* is a structured, playful, and rigorous session where we take startup ideas — yours, someone else's, totally made up — and improve them in real time using agentic workflows, collective intelligence, and honest feedback.
No judgment. No stakes. Just ideas getting better.
\-\-\-
\#\# Why "Hypothetical"?
The hardest part of sharing an idea isn't the idea — it's the fear of being judged for having it.
So we made it hypothetical.
You're not pitching your life's work. You're not asking for funding. You're not committing to anything. You're running a \*\*thought experiment\*\*: \*What would it take for this idea to become a unicorn?\*
That framing changes everything. When the idea is hypothetical, you can be honest. You can poke holes. You can say "this probably doesn't work because..." and someone else can say "unless you do X." You can disagree without it being personal. You can be wrong without it mattering.
The best insights come when the stakes feel low enough to think clearly.
Hypothetical Idea Submission Form
https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL
\-\-\-
\#\# What Actually Happens
\*\*You bring an idea. Any idea.\*\*
It could be:
\- Something you've been sitting on but are afraid to say out loud
\- A startup you saw and thought "that's almost right but\.\.\."
\- A totally absurd concept you find interesting
\- A real thing you're building and want to stress\-test anonymously
\- Something an AI suggested to you that you couldn't stop thinking about
\*\*We run it through the clinic.\*\*
The group — with the help of AI agents — takes the idea through a structured improvement loop:
1\. \*\*Diagnosis\*\*: What's the actual insight here? What problem does this solve?
2\. \*\*Challenge\*\*: Where does this break? What assumptions is it making?
3\. \*\*Repair\*\*: How do we fix the broken parts without losing the core?
4\. \*\*Amplification\*\*: If this worked\, what would make it a unicorn?
5\. \*\*Verdict\*\*: Is it viable\, pivotable\, or dead on arrival — and why?
Each round takes about 20 minutes. We run 4-6 ideas per session.
\-\-\-
\#\# The Role of AI Agents
This is an agentic meetup — so agents do real work, not just window dressing.
During the session, we'll use agents to:
\- \*\*Research the market\*\* in real time: Is anyone building this? What does the landscape look like?
\- \*\*Steelman the idea\*\*: Generate the strongest possible version of the argument for why this works
\- \*\*Identify failure modes\*\*: Systematically surface the ways this breaks
\- \*\*Propose pivots\*\*: Suggest modifications that preserve the core insight while fixing structural problems
\- \*\*Draft a one\-pager\*\*: Turn the improved idea into a coherent pitch summary
The agents accelerate the process and introduce angles the group might miss. The humans provide judgment, context, and the instinct for what actually matters.
This is what governed agents with flexible orchestration looks like in practice — not automation replacing thinking, but amplifying it.
Hypothetical Idea Submission Form
https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL
\#\# Who Should Come
You don't need to have a startup. You don't need to be a founder. You don't need to have the idea ready when you register.
You should come if:
\- You're curious about how AI agents can be used for real strategic thinking
\- You want to practice the skill of rapid idea development and critique
\- You enjoy building on other people's ideas and having yours built on
\- You want to see agentic workflows in action\, not just hear about them
\- You want to contribute to a room of builders who think seriously about ideas
\*\*What we're looking for in participants:\*\*
\- Technically literate enough to follow an agentic workflow
\- Willing to be both generous and honest in feedback
\- Comfortable with ambiguity and unfinished thinking
\- Curious\, not defensive
You don't have to be an expert. You have to be willing to think in public.
\-\-\-
\#\# Format & Practicalities
\*\*Duration:\*\* 2-2.5 hours
\*\*Format:\*\* In-person (Prague) with livestream option
\*\*Ideas per session:\*\* 4–6
\*\*Each idea:\*\* \~20 minutes of structured clinic work
\*\*Timeline:\*\*
\- 18:00 — Doors open\, idea submissions collected
\- 18:30 — Brief intro: the format\, the rules\, the spirit
\- 18:45 — Clinic begins \(3–4 ideas\, 20 min each\)
\- 20:15 — Open discussion: what did we learn?
\- 20:30 — Drinks\, conversations\, follow\-ups
\*\*How to submit an idea:\*\*
Fill out a short form before the event (2 sentences max — idea + the core assumption). We select 3–4 ideas for the session. All submissions are treated with discretion. You can submit anonymously if you prefer.
Hypothetical Idea Submission Form
https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL
\#\# The Rules
1\. \*\*No bad ideas\.\*\* There are only ideas at different stages of development\.
2\. \*\*Critique the idea\, not the person\.\*\* "This doesn't work because X" not "you haven't thought this through\."
3\. \*\*Build before you destroy\.\*\* Steelman first\, then challenge\.
4\. \*\*Hypothetical protects everyone\.\*\* No one is committed to building what we discuss\.
5\. \*\*Confidentiality by default\.\*\* What's shared in the clinic stays in the clinic\.
\-\-\-
\#\# Why This Matters
Most ideas die not because they're bad — but because the person holding them never found the right room to test them.
The clinic is that room.
It's also a live demonstration of what agentic tools can do for strategic thinking. Not AI replacing judgment, but AI extending it — doing the research, generating alternatives, stress-testing assumptions — so the humans in the room can focus on what they do best: connecting patterns, making calls, and knowing when something is worth pursuing.
\*\*When execution becomes cheap, the premium moves to orientation.\*\*
The clinic is practice for that skill.

Paris. Blurred Lines: Evolution of Product and Design with AI
**IMPORTANT**: to participate in the event, please register on Lu.ma – https://luma.com/83i9qgsy
Hosted by **[Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma), Le Comptoir Avalon - Paris and supported by [AI Collective Paris](https://www.aicollective.com/chapters/paris?utm_source=luma)**, this session explores how AI is reshaping the day-to-day reality of Product Managers and Designers—and what this means for roles, ownership, and collaboration inside modern product teams.
Who owns discovery when AI can generate insights?
Who defines the solution when design tools can prototype instantly?
What even distinguishes product thinking from design thinking anymore?
You’ll hear from:
* \*\*[Vaska Vlahova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vlahova/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Staff Product Designer at [Qonto](https://qonto.com/en?utm_source=luma)
* \*\*[Florian Herlicq](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florianherlicq/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Lead Product Manager at [Orus](https://www.orus.eu/?utm_source=luma)
* \*\*[Justine Potin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/justine-potin-1ab9a437/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Product Manager at [Finary](https://finary.com/en?utm_source=luma)
**Moderated by:**
* \*\*[Kate Mas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-mas/?skipRedirect=true&utm_source=luma),\*\* Career Strategist at [messy careers](https://katemas.me/?utm_source=luma) (ex-Qonto, ex-Preply) — guiding the discussion on blurred boundaries and future-ready skills in product and design
This isn’t a “Product Manager vs Designer” debate. It’s a conversation about what happens when traditional role boundaries stop making sense.
**What we’ll explore:**
* Where Product Manager and Design responsibilities are already merging
* How AI is changing product discovery, decision-making, and execution
* The risks of blurred ownership (and how to avoid them)
* What skills will actually matter going forward
* How to operate effectively in a world where roles are less defined
Expect a candid, practical discussion—less theory, more real-world shifts you’re likely already feeling.
Come if you’re a Product Manager, Designer, or product leader trying to make sense of your role in this transition—and what to do about it.
**A friendly note:** Guests are encouraged to buy a drink to support our hosts **Le Comptoir Avalon**.
**Agenda**
* 18:30 — Doors open
* 19:00–19:10 — Intro
* 19:10–20:10 — Panel (60 min)
* 20:10–20:25 — Audience Q&A
* 20:25–21:30 — Networking
**The event will be held in English.**
Philosophy Seminar: Paths in the Woods
This month we bring you a seminar from the host of Prague's famous Cafe Philo, Albert Hoffman, entitled **“Paths in the Wood”**. In this seminar, we'll be exploring **the later writings of Martin Heidegger** where he explores **our relationship to time, connection to place, and the very question of what it means to exist**.
The relationship between Heidegger and the Black Forest in south-western Germany, the landscape in which he produced many of his most famous works, was one of intense emotional and intellectual intimacy. From the small, three-room cabin–which he affectionately called "die Hütte”-- **the forest becomes a strong metaphor for a way of thinking that moves more slowly and attentively than the technological mindset of modernity.**
Heidegger’s later philosophy shifts away from the technical language of Being and Time toward a more meditative style of thinking. **What does it mean to “dwell”? Why does Heidegger so often write about forests, paths, clearings, and huts? And what might these metaphors reveal about his critique of modern technological society?**
Whether you are new to Heidegger or already familiar with his work, join us for a discussion of how philosophy can help us reconsider our relationship to nature, place, and the way we inhabit the world.
\*\*\*
We’ll have tea and light snacks, but please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share!
This event will be hosted in an apartment with a well-trained dog who will be happy to meet you. If anyone has concerns about dogs, let me know so I can be mindful about keeping her from bothering you.
The buzzer is Everett and Mainous—we’re on the 5th floor, apartment 16.

Filozofická kavárna (Café Philo): přemýšlet a diskutovat
Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky:
Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…
Critique-Free Writing Group [in-person & virtual]
This group is for anyone who writes - for any reason. Have a thesis or article you need to write? Trying to finish a novel or an academic paper? This group is for you.
We are currently meeting in-person at Locus Workspace. If you have any questions, contact Sonya Lano here or on Facebook or Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/sonya.lano).
We start at 9:00, introduce ourselves, and share a few words about what we're working on and what we hope to accomplish during the session. At the end of the session, you can give us a brief recap of how it went. We'll break at noon.
The afternoon session starts at 2:00 pm. You're welcome to join both sessions or just one. Please come as close to 9:00 as you can if you come for the morning session. If you come to the afternoon session, we are usually back by about a quarter to 2:00.
CACAO AND BREATHWORK: DEPTH
There is a wisdom that lives in the sea — in its depth, its movement, its light. In this three-part series, we begin each ceremony with cacao to root into the body, soften, and arrive. From there, breath becomes a doorway into the inner waters — into movement, feeling, release, and deeper contact with what lives within.
Each ceremony explores a different quality of the inner ocean:
Fluidity — trusting the flow of life
Depth — the courage to feel
Luminosity — the light beneath the surface
You are welcome to join the full journey or come to any ceremony individually. Each session is a complete experience on its own, while also forming part of a deeper unfolding process.
DEPTH - This evening is an invitation to reconnect with your emotional depth, meet what is present without avoidance, and access inner strength and resilience.
This practice includes intensive breathwork and cacao.
It is not suitable for those who are pregnant or have epilepsy, glaucoma, serious heart conditions, severe cardiovascular disease, unmanaged severe hypertension, or acute psychiatric disorders.
If you have any health concerns, please reach out in advance so the practice can be adapted safely. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, please also let us know beforehand.
When: Thursdays 9/4, 16/4, 23/4 at 19:00
Price: 450 CZK per ceremony / 1100 CZK full cycle via atmaprague@gmail.com

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
