​Most hackathons are demo days. This is not a demo day. ​This is a competition of pure engineering quality — with prizes (latest NVIDIA hardware and over $15k in OpenAI credits) going to the top three finalists. We've designed a hackathon to answer one question: Can you build an AI agent that is objectively useful? ​We all have our favorite frameworks and "hobby horses." Are you convinced that DSPy, LangGraph, or LlamaIndex is the true secret sauce? Do you believe that running 10 agents in parallel is the key to productivity? It's time to find out. ​This event invites you to put your beliefs and your code to the ultimate test. We're challenging you to build Context Agents that can reliably extract, transform, and reason over the complex, messy, and diverse data that simulates real enterprise environments. ​About The Event ​Join us for a full-day hackathon designed for AI builders and practitioners. From 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, participants will dive into hands-on challenges centered ...

​Come celebrate our 200th Episode!! 🎉🎂 ​SZ 200: Our Moment - A Story of Destiny & Human Potential Ft. Michael Clark ​From Dubai to 'DaBay' on Nov 10th, Michael joins Silicon Zombies to unpack a life that reads like The Alchemist but is written for the age of AI and data. ​Former Head of Digital Innovation at Mastercard, and author of Our Moment, a parable-style book embedding the biggest lessons of our time inside a story. ​Why this matters now:Michael has worked out how to treat data like electricity — to value, rate, and certify data as an asset. Most of our “tech” problems, he says, are actually accounting problems — because data doesn’t live on the balance sheet. And nobody “owns” data — we only hold the license, the fruit not the tree. ​Inside the episode: • ​Turning data into a real asset class (“The Moody’s of data”) • ​AI in the classroom — and the shift to abilities-based learning • ​Crypto, money, and the future of value • ​Why AI is our shot to undo 20–30 years of mi...

​​Five weeks ago, we selected 50 hardware builders who couldn't let their blueprints die on paper. People already deep in it. Past the point where turning back makes sense. Ideas ranged from $1000 mini humanoids to drones that can traverse land to glasses for performance athletes. ​Now, after 38 days of late nights in our labs, complete pivots, and relentless building with 3D printers, CNCs, and soldering stations, they're ready to transform our campus into a wonderland of working hardware, live demos, and things you can actually touch and try. ​​Join us November 7 5pm for the Blueprint finale — a festival of inventions where you'll test-drive robots, interact with next-gen hardware, hold devices that were just sketches not too long ago, and see what happens when people bring their blueprints to life. ​Live music, DJs, food trucks and local artisans will also be an extension of the experience provided by Fort Mason Night Market. Learn more. ​​Feel free to share with a friend :) ​​...
