Workshop Series: šššš«šØšš¤ šš šš§šššØš«š
Getting Started with Bedrock AgentCore
Workshop will be led by AWS Solution Architect Daz Akbarov.
As part of our ongoing AWS workshop series, AWS UG Baku together with AWS specialists is hosting a hands-on workshop focused on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and modern agentic AI architectures.
AI agents remain one of the hottest topics in modern engineering - but building production-style agentic systems involves much more than prompts and chat interfaces.
During this session, participants will get introduced to practical concepts around:
⢠Agent runtimes
⢠Memory and context handling
⢠Gateways and identity
⢠Agent orchestration
⢠MCP integrations
⢠Operational patterns behind real-world AI agent systems on AWS
The workshop is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, AI enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in understanding how modern AI agent systems are built and operated in practice.
The session will be led by Daz Akbarov, Almas Moldakanov, and Mahir Garibli together with the AWS UG Baku community team.
ā ļø This is a hands-on workshop. Please bring your laptop to fully participate in the exercises.

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
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 ā more pressingly ā 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 ā even moment to moment, while you sleep?
On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients ā people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed ā 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 ā 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!

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Hereās a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this yearās Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it āa sure-fired crowd-pleaserā that ājust might be the feel-good hit of the year!ā Others say, āPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerā thatās both āhilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carneyās ālong run of success with yet another charmerā and āa sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!ā
