Consciousness, Neuroscience, Philosophy & AGI Happy Hour

​Join us for the next AI Builders Happy Hour—an evening for curious minds exploring consciousness, neuroscience, philosophy, and AGI.

​If you’re drawn to the biggest questions—What is consciousness? Do we truly have free will? What gives life meaning? Could reality be a simulation? And what might AGI reveal about intelligence, mind, and humanity?—this meetup is for you.

​Come geek out with fellow builders, researchers, philosophers, and deep thinkers over great conversation and a healthy dose of “why?” No formal agenda required—just curiosity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to explore the unknown together.

​Space is limited — please RSVP to secure your spot.
