Cine Marquise - Sala 02 - Assento G-5 Em Devoradores de Estrelas, o professor de ciências Ryland Grace acorda em uma espaçonave anos-luz de casa sem memória de quem ele é ou como chegou lá. Enquanto sua memória volta, ele começa a descobrir sua missão: desvendar o misteriosa substância que está causando a morte do Sol. Ele deve contar com seu conhecimento científico e ideias inesperadas pra salvar a Terra da extinção… até que uma amizade inesperada marque que ele não precisa fazer isso sozinho. **Ingressos (R$ 18,40 - Assento G-5):** https://cinemarquise.vendabem.com/compra_ingresso_online_new/?filial=002&filme=2385&sessao=25032026_2020&sala=2 **Estarei lá às 20h.** *xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx* *É novo no grupo?

-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence -especially talk about AGI risk -CCSP cafe ### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly. Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner. This raises important questions: * Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity? * What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values? * How should society prepare for such transformative technologies? Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**. Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts. This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**. *** ## Event Concept **AGI Risk São Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI. You do **not** need to be an expert. Participants may include: * Engineers and researchers * Entrepreneurs and students * Artists and philosophers * Curious beginners * Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures. *** ## Multilingual Discussion To reflect São Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages: * Portuguese * English * Japanese * Spanish Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely. *** ## Possible Topics * What is AGI and how close are we? * AI safety and alignment * The long-term future of humanity * Governance and regulation of AI * Economic and social impacts of advanced AI No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**. *** **Location:** São Paulo **Format:** Informal in-person discussion **Languages:** Multilingual **Level:** Beginner friendly If you are curious about the future of AI, **join the conversation.** *** ### Discussão Aberta Multilíngue sobre o Futuro da IA A Inteligência Artificial está avançando rapidamente. Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas próximas décadas, ou até antes. Isso levanta questões importantes: * A AGI poderá trazer grande progresso científico e prosperidade? * Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos não estiverem alinhados com valores humanos? * Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tão transformadoras? Pesquisadores e organizações como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questões nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**. No entanto, essas discussões muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas. Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**. *** ## Conceito do Evento **AGI Risk São Paulo** é um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA. **Não é necessário ser especialista.** São bem-vindos: * Engenheiros e pesquisadores * Empreendedores e estudantes * Artistas e filósofos * Iniciantes curiosos * Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia O objetivo é **diálogo**, não palestras. *** ## Discussão Multilíngue Para refletir a diversidade de São Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vários idiomas: * Português * Inglês * Japonês * Espanhol Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente. *** ## Possíveis Temas * O que é AGI e quão perto estamos dela? * Segurança e alinhamento da IA * O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade * Governança e regulação da IA * Impactos econômicos e sociais da IA Não é necessário conhecimento prévio — **basta curiosidade**. *** **Local:** São Paulo **Formato:** Encontro presencial informal **Idiomas:** Multilíngue **Nível:** Aberto para iniciantes Se você tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA, **venha participar da conversa.** contact Hiro [https://wa.me/5511982562567](https://wa.me/5511982562567) ( [https://AGI-risk.org](https://AGI-risk.org) ) [mtzhiro@gmail.com](maitlto:mtzhiro@gmail.com)

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

[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).

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat! Note: Since the weather is unpredictable in April, we have a couple of places in mind for the Pot Luck. We have reserved a room in the Dublin Library from 1-2:30 PM for the meal, if necessary. \* But if the weather is nice on April 12th, we are planning to meet in Bridge Park, possibly in the covered shelter area at 12:00 Noon. We will update the details closer to the date of the Pot Luck but wanted to get this out to everyone so that you can make plans for that day.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
