🌍 Is artificial intelligence our downfall... or our greatest chance at human flourishing?
Join us at Madrone Art Bar for a talk with AI strategist, advisor, and investor Tallulah Le Merle, who brings a radically hopeful perspective to one of today’s most polarizing debates.
While headlines warn that AI is taking jobs, eroding creativity, and pushing us toward collapse, Tallulah sees something different: evidence that this young, fast-scaling technology could actually restore human dignity, spark dormant senses, and expand our capacity for connection and creativity.
In this conversation, she’ll explore both the very real risks of AI and the overlooked possibilities - how it might help us reimagine work, rethink intelligence, and even uplift human consciousness itself.
At a time when fear dominates the narrative, this talk offers something rare: a case for hope. ✨🤖

Do I have to be 21+?
Yes! This event is hosted at a bar, so you must be 21 or older to attend and purchase drinks. Stay tuned for future events in spaces that don't have an age requirement!
What about parking?
There's no parking on-site, so we recommend street parking or using public transportation.
What about refunds?
You can refund your ticket up to 24 hours before the event starts. Since this is a limited-space event, we encourage you to update your RSVP if you can’t make it—this helps us keep spots open for others.
What about accessibility?
We want our lectures to be as accessible as possible. Depending on the venue, some audience members may need to stand, and our rule of thumb is that around 5% of attendees may not have seats. If you need specific seating accommodations, we recommend arriving early to secure a seat, or emailing us at [email protected] so we can make arrangements for you.
Accessibility can vary depending on the space, so please research our specific venue to learn more about things like wheelchair access and service animal policies. If you have any accessibility needs not covered here, feel free to reach out and we’ll do our best to support you.
