Neurodivergent in the Workplace: Zoom Peer Support

Neurodivergent in the Workplace: Zoom Peer Support

Tue, Aug 11, 11:00 PM
From Neurodivergent Workplace Collective

This is the inaugural meetup event for the Collective. I am thinking about choosing "**Navigating Masking at Work**" as the first discussion topic, since I felt like this is a topic many of us can relate to, but suggestions are welcome! **A few ground rules that keep this space safe:** * Confidentiality - what's shared here stays here * You choose whether you want to be heard, or hear what's worked for others * No unsolicited advice or problem-solving * It's okay to just listen — no pressure to share * This is peer support, not therapy or legal advice **What to expect:** * New members welcome anytime — no need to have attended before * You don't have to be currently working to be part of the group, because this group is about belonging and sharing experiences * Sessions run 75-90 minutes over Zoom, every other week (will send you the link individually) * A short opening check-in and intros, a topic prompt, open sharing, and a closing round * Kept intentionally small to keep the space intimate

Welcome to our soldering basics class! This class is for beginners and designed to teach you a few important fundamentals on soldering, an essential skill for anyone interested in electronics or DIY projects. We’ll go over solder types, soldering temperatures, and basic through hole component soldering. You’ll learn techniques and tips on how to properly flow solder into a joint, and how to inspect it to ensure you have a good connection. All of this will be taught on a custom circuit board designed for practicing a variety of different circumstances and techniques, which is yours to take home after the class. No experience is necessary, and all equipment and tools will be provided for you to use during the class. The class will run around 1.5-2 hours.

AI vs AI: HR & Hiring

AI vs AI: HR & Hiring

Fri, Aug 14, 4:00 PM
From Lean, Agile and Large-Scale Product Development (LeSS)
4.5

**Summary:** What happens when job candidates use AI bots to find jobs, write resumes, prepare for interviews, and even submit applications automatically—while employers simultaneously deploy AI bots to screen candidates, conduct interviews, rank applicants, and make hiring recommendations? We are rapidly entering a world where the first interaction between employer and candidate may not involve a human being at all. This provocative presentation explores the emerging collision between artificial intelligence, employment practices, and the legal system itself. Drawing on a remarkable real-world experience report involving AI-driven interactions, we will examine how AI is reshaping every stage of the employment lifecycle—from job hunting and candidate screening to dispute resolution and litigation. Among the topics we will explore: • The rise of AI-powered job seekers and autonomous career agents • AI-driven candidate screening, interviewing, and hiring decisions • The growing "AI vs. AI" hiring ecosystem, where bots increasingly interact with other bots before humans become involved • Transparency, fairness, bias, explainability, and accountability challenges in AI-assisted employment decisions • The surprisingly low barriers to initiating lawsuits in the digital era and the growing phenomenon of nuisance and troll litigation • How generative AI is transforming legal research, case preparation, evidence analysis, and litigation strategy • The future of AI-generated claims, AI-generated defenses, and AI-assisted legal proceedings • The broader societal implications when algorithms participate in both hiring decisions and legal disputes arising from those decisions As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face a difficult balancing act: leveraging automation for efficiency while navigating unprecedented legal, ethical, and regulatory risks. At the same time, candidates must learn how to compete—and sometimes collaborate—with increasingly sophisticated AI systems that influence employment outcomes. Recent reporting shows that AI interviews, AI recruiters, and AI screening systems are rapidly moving from experimentation into mainstream hiring practice. This session will feature a distinguished panel of two highly experienced attorneys whose collective expertise spans artificial intelligence, intellectual property, employment law, HR technology, and the legal implications of AI-enabled workforce management. Together, they will provide practical insights into the opportunities, risks, and emerging legal precedents that organizations, HR leaders, technologists, attorneys, and job seekers need to understand. The future may not be human versus machine. It may be AI versus AI—with humans left to determine the rules. **Brad Frazer's Bio:** Brad Frazer is a partner with Hawley Troxell and is Chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property & Internet practice group.

Open Source System Administration Study Group

Open Source System Administration Study Group

Sun, Aug 2, 6:00 PM
From Hack Manhattan
4.7

This group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below. We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering. We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas. We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in. Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account. Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.
