UX + AI Design: Breakfast + Talk on AI Workflows
Sat, Oct 17, 4:30 PMCurious how designers are actually using AI today and learn how other people are using AI in design? Join the our AI Design LA meetup! Breakfast, coffee, and a room of designers, researchers, design engineers, and other interested folks figuring out AI-native ways of working, whether that means Cursor and Claude Code or just getting past ChatGPT for the first time. It's local LA area people comparing notes on what's actually working and what's still frustrating. We're just getting started so now is a great time to join the fun. **The flow** 9:30 — Breakfast, coffee, meet people 9:45 — Quick intro, why this group exists 10:30 — Break out into small groups of 3 to 4: show off either your prototype, design, and/or AI related project 11:00 — Feedback loop 11:15+ — Collaborate (or Cowork) on the spot with new friends or solo Study session for 1 hour Bring a laptop if you've got something to show. No pressure, we'd love to see it either way. IKEA Burbank — free parking, easy off the 5/101/134/170, light Saturday traffic. Exact meeting spot posted in the comments before Saturday.

BIMPulse Presents ... Skema AI (in Los Angeles)
Wed, Oct 21, 12:30 AMA fan favorite is back on the schedule: Skema joins BIMPulse this October for a session on AI-assisted BIM workflows. Years of design decisions are sitting inside Revit models, details, and assemblies. Most of that knowledge never leaves the project it was built for. Skema's team will be showcasing how it can value to your workflows through proven design intelligence, accelerated through AI and computational power. Expect a technical, hands-on look at real workflows and project examples. **Learning Objectives** * Identify how Skema captures design assemblies from a firm’s past projects without contributing that data to a shared or centralized AI training model, and recognize how the Design Catalog approach differs from Revit group-based reuse methods. * Describe how Skema’s bidirectional Revit integration preserves parametric data, families, and metadata (not just geometry) while syncing design changes between the browser-based design environment and native Revit models, without the need for remodeling when moving from schematic to design development, * Explain how Skema’s model federation and analytic model extend design workflows across phases by spatially organizing and coordinating multiple source models (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, IFC) within a single project * Recognize how maintaining data fidelity throughout the design process reduces the coordination errors and rework typically introduced by AI-generated or translated geometry. * Recognize next steps for evaluating or piloting Skema, including ways to incorporate into existing workflows, how to assemble a project team, ideal typologies, and ways to define success.
AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee
Fri, Oct 16, 10:00 PMWe 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)**
