Wednesday Night Wandslinging
A TTRPG meetup to kick off the weekend with a wizard time.
Dead Weight (Mothership)
Something's about to go terribly wrong aboard the Adamant Lapis. Amongst stacks of unremarkable rock samples, gravel, and ore, there's a large and featureless sphere that does absolutely nothing;
Unless you're already dead.
Cadavers are pulled inward with the force of a hundred starship engines, tearing through bulkhead and flesh alike. The hull groans from strain. Oxygen hisses through punctured metal. Every single member of the crew is a potential projectile.
**Minimum Charge:** There Is a minimum spend requirement of one drinks per person, or equivalent items such as bagels or fries.
If you are interested in running a game for us (i.e being a dungeon master, keeper etc.), join our WhatsApp group! https://chat.whatsapp.com/HHjdBJRbc038phG4DSsjTO

Diversity
* **What it is**: The presence of people with different backgrounds, experiences, identities, and perspectives (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, culture).
* **Analogy**: A diverse team has members from different places, with different skills.
Inclusion
* **What it is**: Actively creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, supported, and empowered to participate and succeed.
* **Analogy**: In an inclusive team, everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas and is heard, not just present.

BYOBook: non-fiction books presentations and discussion
This is a regular Bring-Your-Own-Book session, where participants share and present to the group non-fiction books they have read.
New members are welcome to attend to listen to and discuss the presentations of others.
Usually a meeting takes around 2.5-3 hours. During this time we discuss 2 different books, roughly 1 hour per book.
Any non-fiction material: a book, documentary, or lecture or a part of it - anything with a title and an author and that contains some coherent ideas. Each presentation includes a summary of a book (15-40 min) and discussion (accordingly).
The meeting will be either in a park or in a coffee shop, on HK side. The exact place to be confirmed with the attendees **by WhatsApp only**. I will / have sent the link to the WhatsApp group, please use the link.
Introvert friendly.
We have people from different countries, so while books can be in any language, the language of the meeting is English.
There is a fee of 20 HKD for the first timers to help funding the Meetup membership needed to run the group.
Do not hit "Attend" if you are not going to attend.
If you RSVPed, but there is anything preventing you from going to the meeting, remember to tell the host as soon as possible and/or update the RSVP - before the RSVP is closed, to give other people a chance to take your spot.
But if you plan to attend, do hit "Attend", please :)))
No-shows are all silently noted with much disapproval and will be removed from the group.
HKWD April: AI, Agile and Productivity. Production Ready And Scalable AI
This month we have 3 talks
Talk 1: Day to Day AI
Talk 2: Scalable AI
Talk 3: Production Ready AI
Talk 1: Day to Day AI - AI, Agile and Productivity
AI is changing not only how we work but how we plan and organise our projects. Join us for a quick overview of how we can leverage AI to take some of the heavy lifting out of effective planning, how AI can transform opaque requirements into actionable work and general tips and tricks for everyday productivity.

Talk 2: Scalable AI - From 50 to 50K: Scaling an AI Application Under Pressure—Lessons from a High-Stakes Launch
Description:
Scaling an AI-powered application from 50 MVP users to 50,000 for a high-stakes go-live is a daunting challenge—especially when you only have one shot to get it right. In this talk, we’ll share our firsthand experience navigating the technical, operational, and security hurdles of scaling under pressure
Topics:
Scaling the Application: handling a 1,000x increase in users—from architecture and performance to real-time monitoring and optimization.
DevOps:
How we automated, tested, and deployed at scale while minimizing risk and ensuring reliability.
Security:
Security for AI application developed with AI tools.
Lessons from the Front Lines:
Key takeaways for teams facing high-stakes launches, including how to prepare for the unexpected and deliver under pressure.

Talk 3: Production Ready AI: Your Client Wants AI, Now What?
Description:
Every client is asking for AI now, but what do you actually do when that first request lands? This talk walks through a real project where a client asked for "automated data entry" and what we actually built: an AI pipeline that turns product images into structured listings using vision models. I'll cover how to scope AI work, what went right, what didn't (the 90% to 100% accuracy trap), and why designing for human in the loop beats promising full automation. Practical advice for web devs taking on their first AI project.

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.

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
