Machine Intelligence

**What if the most valuable thing you could do is stop and think?** Join experts, founders, and curious humans for 90 minutes of real conversation over dinner. No easy answers. Just better questions. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **We often assume that making something easier also makes it better.** ​In a future where digital clones can reconstruct the departed from fragments of memory, a family is offered the chance to bring back someone they lost. ​But as the clone begins to uncover forgotten parts of the original person’s past, an unsettling question emerges: do we want the full picture of a person, or only the curated version? And... can a person truly be reduced to memory? \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Importaant note: This is a ticketed dinner gathering.

Welcome! Gist below! :-) 1. Bring a book to the meet! 2. Buy a drink (and a bite if you're hungry). 3. Say hi to the folks. 4. Read! 5. We'll do a short round of intros and a short sharing at the end too. :) Come in and find us (we're probably the only reading group)! In the event that the place is full, we'll find a back up nearby. :-) This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance!

**A)** You want to enjoy your career **B)** You want to enjoy your personal life **C)** You want to reach your potential **D)** You want insightful, transformative conversations that allow you to tap into the best of yourself **E)** You want to live up to your full potential and move forward in life **F)** You want to make it happen and no longer want to drift along **1)** Roger Federer, the greatest tennis player of all time, has a coach. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, had a coach. Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson had coaches. **2)** Roger Federer, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson did not overcome their obstacles by attending feel good motivational talks that are over-priced 3 days rah rah concerts in disguise. **3)** They go for the real thing. They know that such rah rah talks cannot address specific challenges. **4)** Now, if these successful people have coaches, why should you be shy of coaching? Having a coach is as as natural as going to the doctor when you have a fever that doesn't go away with panadol. Having a coach is as natural as going to a mechanic when you can't figure out why your car cannot start. **5)** Empower Advisory is committed to give you a full single session of FREE life coaching. Absolutely FREE. We believe that the more successful you are, the better the world will be. You will get a professional personality assessment to understand yourself better and a one to one coaching session that is easily worth a few hundred dollars. **6)** All information shared in the coaching session is kept strictly confidential. You are not judged in any way (unlike your family, friends or colleagues) and can be totally yourself. We just strive to give you a leg up. **7)** All coaching sessions are on a one to one basis.

If you have RSVP-ed for a private session, do whatsapp to confirm your attendance too! Sessions will only happen if they are confirmed.

Why do smart, capable people still find themselves feeling stuck? The same procrastination. The same self-doubt. The same relationship struggles. The same fear around speaking up, being seen, or asking for what they truly want. Often, it is not a lack of ability. And it is not laziness. Sometimes… **part of us wants something deeply, while another part quietly resists it.** We want growth, but fear the unknown. We want love, but fear getting hurt. We want visibility, success or more money, but something inside us does not fully feel safe. For our next SuperHumans LIVE fireside chat, we are honoured to welcome **Amara Samata**, founder of the InnerGuidance Institute™ and trusted guide to founders, Fortune 500 executives, and senior leaders, including teams connected to OpenAI and Sam Altman. Over the past decade, Amara has facilitated more than 2,000 breakthrough sessions helping people uncover the unseen inner conflicts, emotional patterns, and hidden fears quietly shaping their lives, relationships, and decisions. In this honest and deeply practical fireside conversation, we will explore: • why smart, capable people often stay stuck • the hidden inner conflicts behind procrastination, self-doubt and feeling torn • why speaking your truth and asking for what you want can feel difficult • how unresolved inner conflict affects relationships, visibility, confidence, money and success • what happens when different parts of you stop fighting and start moving in the same direction This will not be a lecture. And definitely not motivational fluff. It will be a guided, thought-provoking experience designed to help you better understand yourself, uncover what may really be holding you back, and explore what becomes possible when you stop fighting yourself. Perfect for you if: • you feel stuck in repeating patterns • you know something in life needs to shift • part of you wants more, but another part feels afraid • you want deeper self-understanding and greater inner clarity • you are ready to stop holding yourself back Bring a notebook. Bring honesty. Bring a friend. And perhaps come with one question: **“Where in my life do I feel torn?”**

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
