Imagination is our capacity to represent things beyond our immediate physical experience, from possible worlds to abstract ideas or stories. While Blaise Pascal saw imagination as a “mistress of error” leading us astray, other philosophers such as Robin Kelley believe in what he dubs “Radical Imagination.” Specifically, he thought that “imagination can [help us to] … see the future in the present.” So is imagination best conceived of as a useful mental tool, or a vehicle for error and escapism? In our first Curiosity Café of 2026, we will be reflecting on our own experiences with imagination. To do so, we’ll ask questions like: What are the positive and negative influences that imagination has on our lives? *What is the difference between fantasy, idealization, and catastrophization?* What sorts of functions might they serve? Considering notions of utopia and moral progress, does imagination play a role in politics and society? Is collective imagination possible? Join us on January 20th for this discussion, co-moderated by returning guest Beatrice Turner and our very own Marybel Menzies, to explore many of the fascinating ways we use imagination in our daily lives, on large and small scales. **Space is limited!** **Please obtain a “Pay-What-You-Can” ticket from Curiosity Café at [this link (click here)](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/curiosity-cafe-imagination-tickets-1980423462889) to attend this event. You need a ticket to be admitted.** See the above link for more info about tickets and other options including a limited number of free tickets. Come and hang out with us, grab food, and read through our handout from 6-6:30pm. Our structured discussion will run from 6:30-8:30pm with a 10 minute break in the middle. Hope to see you there! ***___________________________________________________________________*** This event is brought to you by [Being and Becoming](https://beingnbecoming.org/), a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us. By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Find out more about Being and Becoming [here](https://beingnbecoming.org/). About the Curiosity Café Series: For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to join us at our Curiosity Cafés and are wondering what they’re all about: every two weeks, we invite members of our community to come out to the Madison Avenue Pub to engage in a collaborative exploration of our chosen topic. Through these events, we aim to build our community of people who like to think deeply about life’s big questions, and provide each other with some philosophical tools to dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.

While acknowledging the genuine progress—strong revenues, rapid growth, and real demand—it suggests we may be witnessing not a classic speculative bubble, but a significant misallocation of capital that could limit AI's full potential. ​Drawing from economics, physics, and observations of enterprise adoption, the piece highlights four structural challenges in the current approach to building AI infrastructure. These issues, if unaddressed, might temper some of the current optimism. ​For those following AI's development, this perspective is shared in the spirit of constructive discussion. It may prompt useful questions about the path ahead and encourage a balanced view of the opportunities emerging in this fast-evolving field. **Talk #2,** John Wilder, Assistant Teaching Professor and Academic Lead of Applied AI MPS Assistant Teaching Professor at Northeastern University - *Comparing human and artificial neural networks* ​In machine learning, a common way to measure differences is to find the difference between two vectors (L1 or L2 distance) or the angle between two vectors (cosine similarity). How can we compare systems that represent the same information in a different way? For example, when there is no feature correspondence between two vectors or even with the vectors are vastly different sizes, can we determine if they are representing information in a functionally similar way? I will present how I compared the human visual system to an artificial vision system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN). ​ Both the human visual system and CNN process visual input in stages. The goal of this work is to compare the stages of the different systems to one another, but there is no correspondence in the representations of the different stages or the different systems. For example, there are 125 million neurons in the retina alone, while VGG16 has 138 million neurons total. I will demonstrate how to use representational similarity analysis to allow for a comparison of these different representations. While I use this technique to compare the human brain to an artificial neural network, they are broadly applicable to comparing representations from any systems, such as different architectures of artificial neural networks. **About the Speakers** ​[Jonathan M. Watson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/watsonjon/) is a strategist and futurist focused on macro-economics, distributed systems, and infrastructure investment. His work examines how physical constraints—especially latency, energy, and scale—shape which technologies succeed and which capital cycles misfire. ​Drawing on a background in global media systems and technology strategy, Watson studies the growing mismatch between hyperscaler investment models and the real requirements of edge and real-time compute. He writes and researches independently, sharing frameworks and lessons learned rather than predictions, with a perspective shaped as much by setbacks as by success. ​[Dr. John Wilder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-wilder-309809207/) is the faculty lead for the applied AI program and an assistant teaching professor for the analytics program at College of Professional Studies at Northeastern University. He previously served as a lecturer for Northeastern’s Khoury College of Computer Science. John has a history of working on interdisciplinary research in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Computer Vision. His previous positions include a research associate at the University of Toronto and a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Vision Research at York University. John earned a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and an MS in Computer Science from Rutgers University. Outside of academia, he has worked as an independent developer of virtual reality software for optometrists. Other interests include board games, canoeing, camping, and reading. **Many thanks to our supporters and sponsors!** We'd also like to acknowledge our venue partners, [Northeastern University](https://toronto.northeastern.edu/), for generously providing their amazing space for the event and [PRAKTIKAI ](https://www.praktikai.com/)for making the event happen. ​​**Speak or Support MLTO!** We are always looking for new speakers and sponsors to share their knowledge and help build the AI community in the GTA!

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
