SUMMARY:ADHD OASIS Meetup: Tips and Tricks to Improve Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually on Wednesday\, October 17th for New Tech’s ADHD OASIS Community Meetup on Tip and Tricks to Improve Motivation. \nIt’s important to understand how ADHD affects motivation\, but it is often overlooked.

This virtual event will combine community and coaching to support you in building supportive systems for managing your neurodiverse brain. Discover how to decrease your neurodiverse challenges while building relationships with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers who are on similar journeys. \nThe Agenda\n*You are welcome to show up late or leave early to suit your schedule. We understand that this is a workday event and unexpected priorities arise. We’re neurodiverse and understand these realities. 🙂\n12:00pm – Welcome!\n12:05pm – Community discussion of today’s main neurodiverse topic\n12:20pm – Breakout into small groups to discuss the topic further and meet some new friends\n12:45pm – Return to the main Zoom room to share stories and learnings from your breakout group experience\n1:00pm – Closing and farewell until the next Meetup in two weeks

SUMMARY:Assessing the FTC’s Complaint Against Amazon
DESCRIPTION:Since her famous law review article “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox\,” now FTC Chair Lina Khan and the rest of the neo-Brandeisian movement have made Amazon the top target in their crusade to reshape antitrust policy and take on “Big Tech.” With the FTC having now filed its long-awaited complaint challenging several of the company’s business practices\, FTC v. Amazon will no doubt prove to be one of the defining cases that determines not just Chair Khan’s legacy\, but that of the broader antitrust reform movement. And yet\, following a string of recent losses against large technology companies in FTC v. Qualcomm\, and the Meta/Within and Microsoft/Activision merger reviews\, is the Amazon case set to be the next big defeat for the FTC? Does the case against Amazon double down on the bold neo-Brandeisian theories in Chair Khan’s law review article\, or take a more mainstream approach? Is the FTC out to win\, or instead just bring cases that highlight the limitations with existing antitrust laws as a ploy to spur congressional action? \nPlease join ITIF for an expert discussion about the merits and implications of the FTC’s landmark challenge to Amazon.

SUMMARY:COSM Technology Summit
DESCRIPTION:Is AI “generative” or degenerative? Does it usurp humans\, or save us from new perils? Depending on which AI inventor you prefer\, AI portends either human extinction or human salvation. One AI titan\, Geoffrey Hinton\, recently of Google’s Deep Mind\, sees it as a dire threat\, while Yan Lecun of Meta sees it as a redemptive opportunity. As usual\, experts can be polarized or even blinded by the noise and narrowness of their specialties. This year’s COSM Technology Summit\, to be held November 1-3 in Bellevue\, Washington at the Bellevue Hyatt\, will transcend these limited visions. Instead we will seek the transformative unities that integrate this new phase in computer science with emerging paradigms in economics\, materials science\, the nanocosm\, and even the physics of the universe.
