Паста куиз - може ли AI да казва "Да", и други наболели въпроси
English text below
Запазете датата! Ще си задаваме занимателни гатанки, ще хапваме премазни гозби от бара и ще спекулираме за бъдещето на човечеството.
Този път централната ни тема е изкуственият интелект - но няма да се ограничаваме само до това, а ще се поизпитаме и по другите ни интересни теми, като биология, физика, философия, религия... и по малко гастрономия.
Програма:
19:30 Meet & greet, формиране на отбори, опознаване на асортимента на бара
20:00 Начало на играта - 2 кръга (поне! може и бонус)
22:00 Награждаване и забава
Отборите са оптимално от 3 до 6 души, който си няма достатъчно - можем да сформираме отбори на място.
Въпросите варират по трудност, ще има по нещо за всеки. Имали сме участници и на 9г, които не бяха на нула точки, така че и вие ще уцелите все нещо - а по-напредналите също не са се оплаквали, че им е скучно.
Правилата ще обясним на място, стандартната пъб куиз процедура - всяка маса е отбор и получава листче, на което пише отговорите и накрая на кръга го предава.
Освен почестването на мозъчетата и забавленията Църквата иска да ни осигури малко агитация да сме по-заинтересовани в бъдещето на нашата цивилизация и да сме по-активни при насочването му. Искаме бъдещето на света да се решава все повече от мислещи хора, като събралите се тук, от колкото традиционните ни морални авторитети. Бумът на AI технологиите е повод да преосмислим някои социални ценности и смятаме, че пастафарианците заслужават място около масата повече от колкото брадатите ни колеги.
Save the date! We will ponder entertaining riddles, eat noodly treats from the bar and speculate about the future of humanity.
This time our central topic is artificial intelligence - but we will also cover other interesting topics like biology, physics, philosophy, religion... and a little gastronomy.
Agenda:
19:30 Meet & greet, team formation, sampling the bar's selection
20:00 Start of the game - 2 rounds (at least! perhaps a bonus)
22:00 Awards and merriment
Optimally form a team of 3 to 6 people, if you don't have enough - we can form teams on the spot.
The questions vary in difficulty, there will be something for everyone. We also had 9 year old participants who finished with non-zero score, so rest assured that you will also hit something - and the know-it-alls were not bored either.
We'll review the rules in detail during the intro, it's the standard pub quiz procedure - each table is a team and receives a piece of paper on which to write the answers and hand it over at the end of the round.
In addition to exercising our brains and having fun, the Church wants to provide us with a little motivation to be more interested in the future of our civilization and to be more active in guiding it. We want the future of the world to be decided more by thinking people, like those gathered here, than by our traditional moral authorities. The boom in AI technologies is an occasion to rethink some social values, and we believe that Pastafarians deserve a place around the table more than our bearded colleagues.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[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).
