SUMMARY:Vibe Coding: Moving to Cursor and Version Control
DESCRIPTION:Browser-based tools like Claude\, Bolt\, and Lovable are great for getting started. But as your project grows\, you will hit their limits. You need to work across multiple files\, keep track of changes\, and have more control over your project structure. That is where Cursor comes in. \nThis session walks you through the transition from browser tools to Cursor\, a code editor with AI built in. You will also learn the basics of version control with Git so you never lose your work and can always undo a mistake. \nIf the idea of a “code editor” sounds intimidating\, do not worry. You do not need to understand the code. You need to know where things are and how to tell the AI what to change. \nWhat You Will Learn \n•      Why and when to move to Cursor. The signs that you have outgrown browser tools and what you gain by switching. \n•      Setting up Cursor. Installation\, opening a project\, and getting oriented in the interface. We will demystify the file tree\, the terminal\, and the editor. \n•      Getting your code out of browser tools. How to export your project from Claude\, Bolt\, Lovable\, or Replit into a folder Cursor can work with. \n•      How Cursor’s AI works differently. In browser tools the AI sees your conversation. In Cursor it sees your files. You will learn how to prompt effectively in this new context. \n•      Basic version control with Git. Commit\, revert\, and branch. Just enough so you can save your progress\, undo mistakes\, and never lose work. \nWhat You Will Walk Away With \n•      Cursor installed and working on your laptop with your project loaded. \n•      Your first successful edit made through Cursor’s AI. \n•      A basic Git workflow you can use going forward. \nPre-Session Setup (Required) \nThis session requires some setup before we start. You will receive a checklist 48 hours before the session with instructions for installing Cursor and Git on your machine. Please complete the setup before arriving so we can dive straight into working. \nPrerequisites \nThis session assumes you have some experience building with AI coding tools. You will get the most out of it if: \n•      You have a working project built with a browser-based AI coding tool. \n•      You are comfortable prompting an AI to build and modify features. \n•      You have completed the pre-session setup checklist. \nWhat to Bring \n•      A laptop with a browser (all tools we use are web-based) \n•      A project you are working on or want to start \n•      A laptop with Cursor and Git installed (setup checklist will be sent in advance) \nPart of the From Prototype to Product Series \nThis is Session 1 of 10 in the Vibe Coding: From Prototype to Product workshop series. Each session stands alone\, but the full series is designed as a progression from first build to finished product. \nFull series ticket holders get access to all 10 sessions\, weekly lab sessions for live troubleshooting\, recordings of every session\, and Founder Guide community access. Full series: $480 (10 sessions for the price of 8). Visit the series page for details. \nAlready have a series ticket? Enter your promo code at checkout to register for free. \nAbout the Facilitator \nTodd Bashor is the founder of Founder Guide and has 25 years of experience building and scaling software products at ServiceNow\, FICO\, and Intuit. He co-founded NewRocket in 2017 and led it through hypergrowth to acquisition in 2022. He now works with early-stage founders on product validation\, traction\, and go-to-market strategy. \nTodd has been coding with AI for over two years and has mentored multiple non-technical founders through building their first MVPs with vibe coding tools.

SUMMARY:Data and Privacy in the Age of AI | Virtual
DESCRIPTION:A free\, public workshop—no technical background needed\n​Most of us already know that companies\, governments\, and apps collect a lot of data about us. That part isn’t new. \n​What is new is what AI makes possible with that data.\n​For years\, the privacy conversation has mostly been about tracking\, ads\, data brokers\, social media\, and surveillance. Those concerns still matter. But advanced AI changes the picture: once powerful models can analyze huge amounts of text\, images\, location data\, purchases\, messages\, and online behavior at scale\, the value of personal data goes way up—and so do the risks.\n​This workshop will look at how the data and privacy landscape worked before AI\, and what may change now that sophisticated AI systems can search\, summarize\, infer\, predict\, and act on massive amounts of personal information. \n​Together\, we’ll explore questions like: \n\n​Surveillance: How could AI make it easier to monitor people\, identify patterns\, and draw conclusions from huge amounts of data?\n​Incentives: Why might companies and governments have stronger reasons than ever to collect\, store\, and analyze personal information?\n​Advertising & persuasion: How could AI make targeted advertising\, political messaging\, and behavioral manipulation more personalized and more effective?\n​Scams & attacks: What happens when bad actors can use AI to personalize fraud\, phishing\, impersonation\, and social engineering at scale?\n\n​What you’ll get: \n\n​A clear\, beginner-friendly overview of how data privacy worked before modern AI\n​A practical explanation of why AI changes the value and danger of personal data\n​Real examples of how AI is already being used in surveillance\, advertising\, and persuasion\n​A live demo showing how today’s tools can be used to launch sophisticated scams and attacks at scale\n​A framework for thinking more clearly about privacy\, power\, and trust in a world where data is easier than ever to analyze\n\n​This is not a workshop about deleting every app or becoming paranoid about technology. It’s about understanding the new reality we’re entering.\n​AI doesn’t just make data more useful. It makes data more actionable. And that means the privacy choices we make—as individuals\, companies\, and societies—are going to matter a lot more than they used to.

SUMMARY:Mix\, Connect & Overcome is a Founder's Mixer and Fireside Chat
DESCRIPTION:Attention Founders — this one’s for you. \nIf you’ve ever felt like you were one bad quarter\, one missed deadline\, or one impossible problem away from losing everything you built\, you need to be in this room. \nMix\, Connect & Overcome is a Founder’s Mixer and Fireside Chat bringing together founders\, entrepreneurs\, and like minded individuals for an evening of real conversation\, genuine connection\, and the kind of insight you only get from someone who has actually been on the brink. \nThe evening opens with an hour of freestyle networking. Meet other founders in your community\, share your story\, and build relationships that actually move the needle. Then we sit down for a candid\, unscripted fireside conversation designed around one question: how do you keep going when everything is working against you? \nOur featured guest is Alex Treiner — 3x founder\, startup veteran\, and author of Sherlock DNA: A Startup Saga\, a fiction novel based on real events that took place at Illumina. \nCome for the networking. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something you can actually use. \nAgenda:\n6:00 PM — Networking Mixer\n7:00 PM — Fireside Chat with Alex Treiner\n7:30 PM — Open Q&A\n7:45 PM — Networking \nAlex’s story is not a highlight reel. It’s an H1B visa with no safety net. A first company that went bankrupt. A nine-and-a-half-month sprint alongside a tight-knit team to pull a company back from the brink of extinction. Readers who lived through it with him called the book an“unbelievable startup drama” and “a ridiculously engaging read” — one even said they’d love to see it as a Netflix documentary. But tonight isn’t about the book. It’s about the lessons inside it\, told live and unfiltered\, in response to the questions founders are actually asking. \nPurchase Sherlock DNA: A Startup Sage 👉 https://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-DNA-Startup-Alex-Treiner/dp/B0GB3KVL83/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8\n\nBook experience hosted by Rose Bowlus Law\, APC\n \nRose Bowlus Law is a boutique firm serving startups\, entrepreneurs\, and growing companies across industries. The firm supports clients through key stages of growth\, offering legal insight across corporate\, securities\, commodities\, and financial services matters. \nCA Attorney Advertisement\nRancho Santa Fe\, CA

SUMMARY:May 27 - Perceptron AI and FiftyOne for Video Understanding Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on virtual session on May 27 exploring video-native multimodal AI and how to integrate cutting-edge video understanding models into your computer vision workflows. \nDate\, Time and Location \nMay 27\, 2026\n9:00 AM – 11:00 AM PST\nOnline. Register for Zoom! \nVideo-Native Multimodal Models for Video and Image Understanding \nIn this 20-minute talk\, Akshat will introduce Perceptron’s latest release\, a video-native multimodal model that matches or exceeds frontier models from Google and Alibaba on video and image understanding at a fraction of their inference cost. He’ll walk through the capabilities that move the needle for real video workloads: temporal grounding to clip precise events from long streams\, egocentric reasoning for first-person and wearable contexts\, and structured “thinking traces” that reason over motion and physical space. He’ll also cover the image-side advances production perception teams care about: reliable pointing\, point-by-example one-shot visual search\, dense counting\, dial/gauge/clock reading\, and structured document extraction. \nAbout the Speaker \nAkshat Shrivastava is the CTO and co-founder of Perceptron\, previously leading AR On-Device at Meta and conducting research at UW. \nGetting Started with Perceptron AI in FiftyOne \nIn the second half of the session\, Harpreet Sahota will walk through how to get started using Perceptron’s video-native multimodal model within FiftyOne for real-world video understanding workflows. He’ll demonstrate how to connect to the API\, explore multimodal outputs inside FiftyOne\, and build practical workflows for tasks like temporal event analysis\, visual search\, and video dataset inspection. Attendees will leave with a hands-on understanding of how to integrate state-of-the-art video perception models into their existing computer vision pipelines. \nAbout the Speaker \nHarpreet Sahota is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in VLMs\, Visual Agents\, Document AI\, and Physical AI.

SUMMARY:Health\, Mental Health\, and the Architecture of Value-Based Care in AI
DESCRIPTION:Design@Large is a UC San Diego course powered by The Design Lab that is open to the public. \n\n\n\n\nArtificial intelligence is no longer confined to research labs or technical infrastructure—it is embedded in classrooms\, creative practice\, healthcare systems\, communication platforms\, and planetary-scale infrastructures. As AI systems move from experimental tools to everyday companions\, decision-makers\, and mediators of social life\, the question is no longer whether AI will shape our future\, but how—and by whom. \nAt the Design Lab\, we approach AI not simply as an algorithmic achievement\, but as a fundamentally human-centered design challenge. Intelligent systems must be technically robust\, yet responsive to lived experience; powerful at scale\, yet grounded in context; innovative\, yet attentive to equity and responsibility. Across seven sessions\, Design@Large in Spring 2026 brings together leading voices from research\, industry\, education\, law\, health\, and the arts to explore how AI is designed\, deployed\, governed\, and experienced in real-world settings. From generative AI in education and music to embodied intelligence in XR\, from disability justice and communication to sustainable computing and Indigenous data sovereignty\, and from personal AI companions to value-based care in health systems\, the series examines AI where it meets people\, institutions\, and infrastructures. \nRather than treating AI as a purely technical system\, we frame it as a site of negotiation among human values\, institutional incentives\, cultural norms\, and material conditions. Each session pairs scholars\, practitioners\, and industry leaders to interrogate how design decisions shape agency\, creativity\, trust\, access\, and care at scale. \nDesign@Large is open to the broader public and livestreamed online\, while also serving as a core seminar for over 100 undergraduate and graduate students at UC San Diego. Together\, we ask: What does it mean to design AI responsibly? How do we ensure that intelligent systems amplify human capability without reproducing harm?
