​How do you design services that no one wants to use?

​Stressful life events like divorce, bereavement, court cases, and legal hearings require us to engage with the government when we are at our most vulnerable. The justice system is complex, intimidating and slow moving, and our interface with the legal system is riddled with impenetrable jargon, incomprehensible forms and Kafkaesque bureaucracy.

​As we digitise the courts, we have an opportunity to streamline and simplify legal process. We’ll discuss how legislation becomes policy, how departments get funding, and how designers balance the needs of citizens, court staff, legal representatives and judges.

What’s the next best thing to building products?

​Breaking them.

By the end of this session, you should know how to break any app open.

Areas we’ll cover:

• Decompiling apps
• Making sense of obfuscated codebases
• Hooking into apps at runtime
• Forcing UI states
• Locating assets inside a large directory

​This will be less of a workshop and more of a lecture. This is because setting up an environment for reverse engineering is too time consuming for the session. The technical/willing among you can take this information away and w̶r̶e̶c̶k̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶o̶k̶ investigate products politely.

​Disclaimer: I am obviously not responsible for anything you do with this information.

Our futures are more uncertain than ever. In the wake of the For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers UKSC ruling, as well as other developments around the world, a group of us, disillusioned with the pro-trans activism thus far, aims to take matters into our own hands.

The goal of this event is to:

• make personal connections
• collate trustworthy information about the social, political, legal, and medical landscape (both present and near-future)
• discuss effective steps we could take regarding both outwards campaigning and intra-trans infrastructure

We’d like to aim this event mostly at transgender people, however cisgender allies (especially if you have information/connections we could leverage!) are welcome too!

Join us to connect and explore ideas supporting a Second Renaissance - our name for a potential a new cultural paradigm of interconnectedness, wisdom and inner growth.

​You can think of this as a local, in-person version of the online Oasis Community Calls. ​As in the online calls, we’ll use break-out groups and relational exercises to deepen connection and facilitate dialogue - with a trip to the pub afterwards for those who are up for it!

​​Who is it for: Anyone who is intrigued by the idea of a second renaissance and wants to learn more, get more involved and build connections with like-minded people.

If the weather is very good, this meeting will be held in Hyde Park instead. Register to be notified of where it will be.

​This week’s theme: Authentic Relating and its role in cultural evolution. To help deepen the discussion, you may want to read this history of authentic relating.

​​It’s time for another Gæmz meetup in London! Let’s hang out and talk about what we’ve been up to.

​​​This event is free but as we have limited spaces, please only RSVP if you intend to come. And if you need to cancel, even on the day of the event, please let us know so we can offer your space to someone else.

​​​New to Gæmz? It’s a hangout/social gathering event and a community for the people who are into art/experimental/alternative game development, playful media, and general d0peshit founded in 2019 by Nomi (thenomi.com). The event runs for roughly 3 hours, the first hour of which is usually spent on ice breaker sesh/waiting for people, followed by presentations by each of the attendees.

​​​Presentations aren’t mandatory, you can come along just to be interested/supportive/inspired, but we want everyone who does want to present to have an opportunity to do so, so presentations should be short. (5 mins presentations + 5 mins Q&A) Whilst we already have some regular attendees, new people are always welcomed.

This session is open to the public, however spaces are very limited. Registration includes a suggested contribution towards Jethro’s time.

​A workshop for those with little or no experience with code, which gets your set up and coding with AI tools in an afternoon. By the end, you’ll be working fluently with the latest tools to bootstrap your website, run data analysis, and in time even build a complex web app.

​​This session is part of the Introduction to Political Technology course at Newspeak House, open to faculty and fellowship candidates only.

​In this module, we tackle a range of tactics and strategies for societal transformation, including experimentation, prefiguration, envisioning, hyperstition and new hegemonies and sovereignties. This module centres on social technologies for diverse futurisms.

Hannah will offer practical insights on understanding and working effectively within your existing context, developing your message, and finding your key audiences and allies. Come prepared with your work-in-progress to make the most of this opportunity to workshop your project with a leading expert.

Come along to the sixth integral altruism meetup. The theme of this meetup will be: ​​​🤓 does EA stretch bayesianism too far? 🤓

​Doors open from 4pm. Structured discussion starts at 5, please arrive before then! At around 6:30-7 there’ll be time for hanging out & potluck.

Welcome to the first-ever ATProto London meetup!

​Curious about how Bluesky is different from other social network websites? Interested in building cool stuff using ATProto, the underlying technology powering the Bluesky social network? Want to learn how to use this cutting-edge decentralised platform to launch the next generation of online applications? You’ve come to the right place!

​This edition of the event won’t have a particular focus, it’s mostly just to meet up with local Bluesky users and ATProto developers. In the future we might run talks or workshops, but for now we’re working on building a community and feeling out how we should run these events.
