***\*\*\*\*Please note this is an offline event with limited space. RSVP only if you will be able to attend in person.\*\*\*\**** **Date & Time:** June 4\, 2026 \| Doors open at 18:00 **Location:** Bondora, Tallinn Park Tondi Business Center Join ProductTank Tallinn and [Bondora](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bondora-capital/posts/?feedView=all) for a practical after-work evening exploring how Claude AI is genuinely changing the way product managers work. Not another AI hype talk — this one is grounded in real workflows, honest trade-offs, and the kind of hands-on experience that actually moves the needle in a PM’s week. Two practitioners will share what they’ve learned from integrating Claude into their day-to-day: where it saves meaningful time, where it still falls short, and why discovery, customer intuition, and context remain firmly in human hands. Whether you’re just getting started with AI tools or already deep in prompt engineering, there’s something here for every experience level. **Speakers:** * [Almonzer Eskandar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/almonzereskandar/) — Founder at [Najed AI](https://najed.ai/) and Senior AI PM at [Manychat](https://manychat.com/) * [Anna-Liisa Reinson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alreinson/) — Founder at [Produktize](https://www.linkedin.com/company/produktize/posts/?feedView=all) and Visiting CPO at [Webware](https://www.linkedin.com/company/webwarewd/) **Agenda:** * 18:00 - Door opens, networking * 18:40 - Opening words * 18:45 - Almonzer Eskandar * 19:30 - Anna-Liisa Reinson * 20:00 - Networking * 21:00 - Closing **Registration details:** * Please note this is an offline event with limited space.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

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 have moved to guild.host. Look us up there. https://guild.host/events/buckeye-cocoaheads-rcavwd
