Encontro In-person para prĂĄtica de conversação em InglĂȘs: Conversation meeting
Encontro In-person para prĂĄtica de conversação em InglĂȘs: Conversation meeting
Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prĂĄtica do inglĂȘs em encontros presenciais. Esse Ă© um meeting que jĂĄ Ă© tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local pĂșblico para praticar conversação em inglĂȘs, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que vocĂȘ possa comprar o seu cafĂ© enquanto conversa com a gente. O objetivo Ă© criar um ambiente descontraĂ­do e amigĂĄvel para que todos possam praticar o inglĂȘs sem pressĂŁo. NĂŁo importa se vocĂȘ Ă© iniciante ou avançado, todos sĂŁo bem-vindos! NĂŁo Ă© necessĂĄrio confirmar presença, e o valor Ă© de graça, tambĂ©m nĂŁo cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguĂ©m irĂĄ te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos. Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre Ă s sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrĂŽ), no tĂ©rreo, em frente Ă  cafeteria Havanna CafĂ©. Sempre das 20h00 Ă s 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. EntĂŁo, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglĂȘs em um ambiente amigĂĄvel e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este Ă© o local certo! \-\-\- And foreigners are also welcome! We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home. We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna CafĂ©. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.

Talk AGI-risk in multi language Meetup / falar sobre o risco da IA
Talk AGI-risk in multi language Meetup / falar sobre o risco da IA
-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence -especially talk about AGI risk -CCSP cafe ### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly. Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner. This raises important questions: * Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity? * What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values? * How should society prepare for such transformative technologies? Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**. Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts. This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**. *** ## Event Concept **AGI Risk SĂŁo Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI. You do **not** need to be an expert. Participants may include: * Engineers and researchers * Entrepreneurs and students * Artists and philosophers * Curious beginners * Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures. *** ## Multilingual Discussion To reflect SĂŁo Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages: * Portuguese * English * Japanese * Spanish Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely. *** ## Possible Topics * What is AGI and how close are we? * AI safety and alignment * The long-term future of humanity * Governance and regulation of AI * Economic and social impacts of advanced AI No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**. *** **Location:** SĂŁo Paulo **Format:** Informal in-person discussion **Languages:** Multilingual **Level:** Beginner friendly If you are curious about the future of AI, **join the conversation.** *** ### DiscussĂŁo Aberta MultilĂ­ngue sobre o Futuro da IA A InteligĂȘncia Artificial estĂĄ avançando rapidamente. Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas prĂłximas dĂ©cadas, ou atĂ© antes. Isso levanta questĂ”es importantes: * A AGI poderĂĄ trazer grande progresso cientĂ­fico e prosperidade? * Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos nĂŁo estiverem alinhados com valores humanos? * Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tĂŁo transformadoras? Pesquisadores e organizaçÔes como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questĂ”es nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**. No entanto, essas discussĂ”es muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas. Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**. *** ## Conceito do Evento **AGI Risk SĂŁo Paulo** Ă© um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA. **NĂŁo Ă© necessĂĄrio ser especialista.** SĂŁo bem-vindos: * Engenheiros e pesquisadores * Empreendedores e estudantes * Artistas e filĂłsofos * Iniciantes curiosos * Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia O objetivo Ă© **diĂĄlogo**, nĂŁo palestras. *** ## DiscussĂŁo MultilĂ­ngue Para refletir a diversidade de SĂŁo Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vĂĄrios idiomas: * PortuguĂȘs * InglĂȘs * JaponĂȘs * Espanhol Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente. *** ## PossĂ­veis Temas * O que Ă© AGI e quĂŁo perto estamos dela? * Segurança e alinhamento da IA * O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade * Governança e regulação da IA * Impactos econĂŽmicos e sociais da IA NĂŁo Ă© necessĂĄrio conhecimento prĂ©vio — **basta curiosidade**. *** **Local:** SĂŁo Paulo **Formato:** Encontro presencial informal **Idiomas:** MultilĂ­ngue **NĂ­vel:** Aberto para iniciantes Se vocĂȘ tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA, **venha participar da conversa.** contact Hiro [https://wa.me/5511982562567](https://wa.me/5511982562567) ( [https://AGI-risk.org](https://AGI-risk.org) ) [mtzhiro@gmail.com](maitlto:mtzhiro@gmail.com)

Drunken Philosophy: Are you really who you think you are? What is the "self"?
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 — 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!

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
