Was kommt nach der Arbeit? KI, Sinn und die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft
Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik stehen erst am Anfang – und doch ist absehbar, dass sie nicht nur einzelne Berufe, sondern ganze Vorstellungen von Arbeit, Leistung und gesellschaftlichem Wert verändern werden.
Wenn Maschinen sowohl geistige als auch körperliche Tätigkeiten übernehmen können, stellt sich eine grundlegende Frage: **Was bedeutet es dann noch, Mensch zu sein – und wie organisieren wir Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft?**
In dieser Diskussionsrunde wollen wir weniger über Technik sprechen, sondern über **gesellschaftliche Folgen**:
* Welche Werte würden in einer Post-AI-Welt zählen?
* Ist eine Gesellschaft ohne ökonomischen Zwang wünschenswert?
* Wie sieht eine mögliche **Post-Work- oder Post-AI-Gesellschaft** aus
* Wie verhält es sich mit Macht, Verteilung von Eigentum und Sinn
Geht uns die Arbeit aus – oder gewinnen wir Freiheit?
Stehen wir vor sozialem Zerfall oder vor einer neuen Form von Wohlstand?
Und sind wir kulturell überhaupt darauf vorbereitet?
Diese Diskussion richtet sich an alle, die sich für **Gesellschaft, Politik, Ethik und Zukunftsfragen** interessieren – ganz ohne technisches Vorwissen.

ZH3 Hash # 1721: The Gladiator-Chuggins 69th Birthday Hash
Hares are Gladiator and Merry Chuggins. Despite possessing only one braincell between them, these B.I.M.B.Os have somehow not only survived until adulthood, but made it to milestone birthdays! Chuggins is turning 30 and Gladiator will be... very slightly older. The important thing is that for this hash, their combined age will be a glorious 69! So come and celebrate with more shot stops than is really feasible and a karaoke afterparty. Details TBC.
**Where**:
Zurich City Look for English speakers wearing running gear.
**When:**
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.
**All Welcome:**
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful.
• The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.
**Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?**
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.
'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.*
We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

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.
