The Platonic Representation Hypothesis
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.

PPC Pro Meetup #42
**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.

English Book Club - April
**Upcoming Book Club Meetings**
We’re continuing the season with two very different but equally compelling novels, one a timeless classic of love and longing, the other a sharp, contemporary story of power, ambition, and survival. As always, everyone is warmly welcome, whether you’ve finished the book, are still reading, or simply want to join the conversation.
**April Book Club Meeting**
**Love in the Time of Cholera** — Gabriel García Márquez
April 29
7:00 PM
Közkincs Könyvtár
A richly layered, poetic novel that spans decades, exploring love in its many forms patient, obsessive, enduring, and transformative. Márquez blends romance with reflections on time, aging, and the nature of devotion.
**May Book Club Meeting**
**Birnam Wood** — Eleanor Catton
May 27
7:00 PM
**Közkincs Könyvtár**
In contrast, *Birnam Wood* is a gripping, modern novel that brings together activism, tech power, and moral ambiguity. Fast-paced and thought-provoking, it offers plenty to discuss about idealism, control, and the consequences of our choices.
Philosophy Movie Night #1
We’re launching *Philosophy Movie Night* — a relaxed session to watch one of those movies we never get the chance to watch in thoughtful company.
The format is simple: we watch a selected film (we will choose shorter ones, under 2 hours), then optionally discuss it together at the end.
**How it works**
* We’ll publish a poll with a shortlist of films.
* You can vote. 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.
Movie starts: 18:30
Ticket: Free (the space is limited, only sign if you are actually going)
Donations to support the association are welcome
Popcorn and beverages available for purchase
**Want to influence the movie?**

(April) Monthly Book Club: Humble Pi by Matt Parker
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**
Meditation (English)
Practice Buddhist meditation in the middle of Budapest!
The meditation is suitable for beginners. Each regular meditation is guided and begins with a short introduction. (all together is about 30-40 minutes)
Our regular Buddhist meditations have proven popular with people who want to integrate authentic Buddhist methods into their daily lives. For the modern lay person who is juggling work, relationships, and an active role in society, we teach a meditation that is easy to learn, and profound and powerful for experienced practitioners.
The meditation originates from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It has a cumulative effect on mind, leading to greater clarity and calmness. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the result of regular practice of Buddhist meditation.
* Do I need any special clothing?
No special clothing needed.
* Does the attendance cost anything?
No, the meditation is free.
Csendes Könyvklub #111 | Délutáni olvasás a Szigeten
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!
