A collective experiment in AI, care & futures using instinct, wordplay and making to think together. No expertise required. Just curiousity. Exquisite Corpus is MODE's first public experiment — a two-hour workshop where participants use word association, collaborative making, and collective reflection to explore how we think about AI, care, and the futures we're building together. There are no experts here. No lectures. No right answers. You'll work in small groups to create visual responses to randomly drawn word combinations — then layer your work with others, building toward a collective artifact that none of you could have made alone. In the process, something honest tends to emerge about how we actually feel about futures. **Who this is for:** Anyone curious about AI, technology, and collective futures. Artists, technologists, researchers, students, community organizers, people who feel excluded from the conversation about AI and want in. You don't need a background in ethics or technology. You need curiosity and willingness to play. **About MODE:** MODE (Meta Otium for Dynamic Ethics) is a new Dublin-based think tank exploring the ethical futures of AI and emerging technologies through participatory practice. We believe ethics isn't something observed from above — it's something practiced, embodied, and discovered collectively. This is our first public experiment. Come be part of it.

A valuable agent is one that handles real work." This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals. What we'll work through together • Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth • GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences • Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation • QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines • Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end Bring a laptop.

**Craft Night has returned to Tog!** *From 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm every second Sunday, drop by and join in.* Whether you make the yarn itself (we love spinners!) or noodle about with e-textiles and blinky quilts, you will be very welcome. If you haven’t been to Craft Night before, it’s mainly people working on portable crafts like yarn-based and textile projects, jewellery and paper crafts. Feel free to bring your current WIP (Work In Progress). We’ll take over the common area with crafting and conversation. We might even try to bring a group Craft Night project to Dublin Maker (it’s been a while!). You’ll find the nights on [our calendar](https://www.tog.ie/calendar/), so you don’t need to remember which every other Sunday it is. Newcomers to Tog are more than welcome to join us. See you there!

New people who know nothing about Linux are welcome and encouraged to attend, please don't be shy. If you are new please feel free to approach one of the organisers, and we'd be only happy to help explain things as best as we can, we honestly don't mind and don't judge. We were new once ourselves :) Please note that in general, these are adult friendly meetups, therefore, we are not responsible for those under 18 in attendance. We may have events targeted at children in the future. As with any Meetup, please try to stick to your RSVP or change it to No if you can't come.

This is the **first meetup** of our AI video generation group, and we are keeping it small and hands-on. We will have **4 laptops** set up and ready to go: * one for demos. * one for guided tutorials. * and one for you to practice on yourself. With only **8 people** in the room, there's plenty of time to ask questions, try things out, and actually get into the tools rather than just watch someone else use them. **What we will cover:** * A walkthrough of AI video generation tools including ComfyUI, Higgsfield, and Kling AI. * Hands-on practice time at the workstations. * Open discussion > what are you working on, what tools are you curious about? No experience needed. If you have never touched any of these tools before, that's completely fine: that's what the tutorial station is for. **A few practicalities:** * Spaces are capped at 8 (2 people per workstation). * €5 attendance fee. * Feel free to bring your own laptop if you have one. See you at the IFI.

If you’ve worked with LLMs, you’ve probably run into slow inference, out-of-memory errors, or hallucinations you couldn’t explain. There’s no shortage of resources on how transformers work, but most of them either ask you to build one from scratch or get lost in theory that doesn’t connect to the problems you’re actually facing. Transformers in Practice is different. We will give a complete practical view of how transformers work, from how they generate text to what’s happening inside the model to how it all gets optimized to run on real hardware. Interactive visualizations throughout let you see key concepts in action and build intuition that actually sticks. Here’s what you’ll learn: * **Model Behavior:** You’ll learn how LLMs generate text through an autoregressive loop, selecting one token at a time from a probability distribution. You’ll see how sampling parameters like temperature shape the output, why hallucinations happen, and how techniques like RAG, constrained generation, and chain-of-thought reasoning all work within this same loop. * **Model Architecture and Attention:** You’ll look inside the transformer to understand what attention is really doing, how positional encoding tracks token order, and how multiple layers and attention heads work together to turn an input sequence into a next-token prediction. * **Scaling and Deploying:** You’ll learn why GPUs are well-suited for transformer inference and where the real bottlenecks are. You’ll build practical intuition for quantization, KV caching, flash attention, and speculative decoding, including the tradeoffs each one introuces for cost, speed, and output quality. The minimum fee is to pay the venue and avoid no show and make this group of people sustainable in the long term

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!
