Alright, digital dreamweavers, KK here—just wrapped up our September Vancouver AI Community Meetup. It was a night of fresh ideas, real talk, and serious brainpower.
And yeah, we’ve got news. We’ve outgrown our old digs and are stepping it up to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre
Makerspaces are community-operated physical places where peeps share their interest in tinkering w/ technology, meet & work on projects, & learn from each other.

Zines in the era of digital overload: a tactile rebellion against the ephemeral nature of online content.
What does this resurgence tell us about our craving for tangible, enduring forms of expression?
In a world where AI whips up a thousand ideas faster than you can say "innovation," some fear the encroachment of robots in the realm of the arts.
Fellow creatives, I pose this question to you: Is AI the end of art as we know it, or the start of a new collaborative renaissance
Creating educational content with AI can tailor learning experiences like never before. Educators and creators, how do you use AI to customize and enhance educational materials?
#AIEducation
#PersonalizedLearning
Ever played the game of 'more details, please' with AI? Adding context turns vague into vivid, enhancing the relevance and accuracy of responses. It's like giving AI a map in a treasure hunt – the more detailed the map, the closer you get to the treasure!

I’ve been tinkering AI can jazz up my creative and business game. I’ve been developing new tools and techniques but also it's about shaping an 'AI mindset.' I'm mixing AI into everything I do, tweaking and turning everything upside down to see where it takes my art and work.

Frank Yu uses generative AI for quick video game asset concept ideation - generating 1000 options to pick from. But assets need manual polishing, says Frank. AI helps determine if ideas are strong before major dev work.

AI not only mirrors but also molds us... here's a critical interrogation of how digital interactions shape, shift, and sometimes shackle our sense of self. Are we wielding technology as a beacon of self-expression, or has it become a chain of conformity?

Personal AI assistants are becoming more integrated into our lives, raising intense debates around privacy and autonomy. The balance between efficiency and privacy will be a key challenge as we navigate this new era of digital ethics.
This isn't a dystopian sci-fi plot; it's happening NOW. The monopolization of AI technology is real, and it poses a serious threat to innovation.
