Hard Negatives: AI Engineers Debate & Game Night

The AI debate night where you're forced to defend the take you'd never post online.

RAG is dead. AI is already sentient. Open weights should be banned. We should trust models we can't explain.

You don't pick your side. We do. We'll split everyone into teams, draw a controversial topic at random, then give you 3 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to convince the room. The audience votes live. Winners take home prizes.

First prize: Nintendo Switch Lite

Second prize: Lego set

Third prize: Qdrant hoodie

Additional prizes to be announced

Not in the mood to argue? We have games and you can heckle from a safe distance.

For engineers, AI researchers, and builders around NYC. Especially if you work in search or retrieval. We can only admit guests with approved registrations.

Check-in starts at 6:30 pm, debate starts at 7 pm

Your RSVP includes:

one drink ticket (beer, wine, classic cocktail or well drink)

Small bites and appetizers

Pool tables, darts, foosball , ping pong and shuffleboard tables unlimited

Spots are limited

Must be 21+
