Toastmasters Party! Voces Latinas & Lofty Speaker

Two Toastmasters meetings in one! This month, Lofty Speakers teams up Voces Latinas for a joint meeting! **Does the idea of public speaking freak you out? Join the club!** The best way to overcome the fear of public speaking is practice, practice, practice. And we have a more interesting way for you to do that…unless you really enjoy giving speeches to your mirror. If you’re ready to show the world - your coworkers, friends and family - the charismatic, intelligent and articulate part of you - or if you simply want to make a good impression at your next job interview, join the club. **Lofty & Voces are part of a network of more than 16,600 Toastmaster clubs in 143 countries around the world.** Our unique club is made up of a small group of creative professionals who have pledged to work on their fear of public speaking together twice a month. (For a grand total of 4 hours per month!) Public speaking is scary - but stick with us and you’ll not only learn how to master the art of communication… you’ll also learn to love it - and meet some great people along the way.

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**

BIMPulse Presents ... BIMLogiq (Los Angeles)

**The Evolution of AI in AEC: From AI assistants to AI Agents** AI in AEC has evolved significantly over the past few years. We started with chatbots, then moved to AI copilots that could understand Revit and help users accomplish tasks. Around three years ago, BIMLOGIQ took this a step further with **BIMLOGIQ Copilot and its own fine-tuned code-generation engine**, enabling AI to generate Revit API code and create custom automations. These approaches still have limitations—they generally rely on precise prompts, predefined tools and workflows and require users to define what the AI can do. The next step is **AI agents**: AI that can reason about a goal, break complex problems into steps, write its own tools, choose and use the right tools, and adapt as it works. This is where **Argus** comes in. Argus is a fully multi-agentic platform built for AEC, where specialized agents can work together to perform complex Revit workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Argus works and show how you can create your own agents to automate workflows that traditional add-ins and automation approaches simply can't handle. Learning Objectives * **Identify** the limitations of traditional Revit add-ins and rule-based automation compared to adaptive, agent-driven workflows. * **Recognize** how AI assistants interact with Revit and act on the live model. * **Apply** AI-assisted code generation to build simple Revit add-ins that automate repetitive documentation tasks. * **Compare** single-task automation (commands) with multi-agent orchestration, and understand when each delivers the most value. * **Outline** the key components of an AI agent, including instructions, tools, context, and feedback loops; how they work together within Revit.
