The TLV PUG is back! Join us for an afternoon of talks, food, drinks, and good company at Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv on Level 50 with those incredible skyline views. This time we've got three great talks lined up. Oh, and there will be swag. You're welcome. **Talks:** **From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service** *[Engin Diri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/engin-diri/) \- Senior Solutions Architect\, Pulumi* AI Agents are everywhere right now, but how do you actually build and deploy one without losing your mind? In this talk, Engin will walk through how to use Microsoft Foundry Agent Service together with the Microsoft Agent Framework and Pulumi to spin up, configure, and manage AI agents, all as code. We'll go from an empty project to a working agent, covering the gotchas and the good parts along the way. **OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included** [Dor Serero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorser/) \- Principal Architect\, Microsoft So you want to run an OpenClaw bot, or any agent for that matter. Cool. But have you thought about what happens when things go sideways security-wise? In this session, Dor will share real-world lessons on running OpenClaw bots without the kind of setup that keeps you up at 3 AM wondering if something just went horribly wrong. We'll cover common pitfalls, hardening tips, and practical patterns to keep your bot humming without opening the door to trouble. **OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (and I'm not sure If I can take them back)** *[Roey Zalta](https://linkedin.com/in/roey-zalta) \- Data & AI Solutions Engineer\, Microsoft* What happens when you stop treating OpenClaw as a demo and start letting it run real parts of your life? In this session, Roey will walk through his personal setup, showing how he balances security, privacy, and convenience while giving agents real autonomy. From always-on monitoring to reactive automations, you'll see what it actually takes to operationalize OpenClaw beyond toy examples. We'll cover the trade-offs, the unexpected behaviors, and the lessons learned when your agent becomes a system you rely on daily. Sometimes helpful, sometimes slightly too enthusiastic. **Schedule:** * 5:00 PM — Doors open, food, drinks & networking * 5:30 PM — From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service (Engin Diri) * 5:55 PM — OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included (Dor Serero) * 6:20 PM — OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (Roey Zalta) * 6:45 PM — Networking, food & drinks * 7:30 PM — See you at the next one! **Where:** Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv Menakhem Begin Rd 144, Level 50 Tel Aviv-Yafo After the official wrap-up, we'll continue any interesting discussions at a nearby bar for those who want to keep the conversation going. Spots are limited, so grab yours early. See you there!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
