Touch The Grass with The AI Collective
Is your screen time starting to look like a full-time job… and your sleep just a side hustle?
We have been busy building the future behind glowing rectangles. Shipping ideas, debugging life through LLM prompts, stacking tabs like trophies. Somewhere between version updates and late-night sprints, the real world quietly stopped getting commits.
So here is a radical idea: Step outside.
The AI Collective is closing the laptop lid and opening the day properly. No dashboards. No notifications. Just oxygen, sunlight, and conversations that do not need a charging cable.
We are gathering in the heart of the city for a morning that feels illegal in the best way. Slow, present, slightly unproductive, and somehow exactly what you needed.
When: 3rd May 2026, Sunday
Time: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM
Where: KLCC Park
The vibe is simple. Walk, talk, breathe. Touch grass if you feel poetic. Hug a tree if you are committed to the bit. Go for a run if your inner athlete suddenly wakes up. And if your social battery is on low power mode, we will pair you up for easy walk-and-talk conversations so you can just flow.
Then comes the real upgrade.
Post-patch update: Mamak session
After we have reconnected with planet Earth, we migrate to a nearby Mamak. This is where deals are not made, but somehow everything meaningful happens. Teh tarik in hand, roti canai on the table, conversations that start with tech and end somewhere around life, money, meaning, or why we are all doing this in the first place.
Who is this for?
Honestly, anyone with a pulse.
No need to be deep in AI, no need to be a builder, no need to pretend you understand half the buzzwords. If you are curious, slightly over screen fatigue, or just want to remember what morning feels like, you are in.
Possible side effects include a better mood, clearer thinking, accidental friendships, and the shocking realization that humans look better in real life than on profile pictures.
Ready to defragment your brain and run a quick system reset?
See you at the park.
