AI Workshop – Beyond the Basics

It’s time to build on your basic AI skills with this Zoom workshop. AI is quickly becoming a disruptive technology in our schools, work, and even our homes. Whether it’s with this workshop, or by some other means, do not miss opportunities to learn and leverage this technology. Once again, we are asking pax to please register to attend.

If you missed the intro workshop for “Everyday AI”, just let Old Bay know and he’ll send you a link to the recorded video.

Date and Time: 9/9/25 @ 8pm via Zoom

In this “Beyond the Basic” workshop, we’ll learn how to use  AI to:

  • analyze documents (medical, legal, photos)
  • help with spreadsheets (analysis and cell formulas)
  • build resumes and cover letters
  • help think through big decisions
  • automate tasks
  • create highly customized “custom instructions” for the best responses

We will focus mainly on the new ChatGPT 5, but will talk a bit about a few other AI models and tools.

Hope to see you there!

Brought to you by the number 14

Shared a quick message that we are not at the center of our universe. I’ve had lots of changes come my way in 2025 (some expected & some unexpected) and my decision making was made easier when I realize that I needed to put my faith and family first.
WARMUP: Merkins, squats, HWs, LBCs. All IC & reps of 14. Why 14 asked Bass? Because I wanted to honor the most recent win streak by the best team in MLB, my MILWAUKEE BREWERS!
THE THANG: jog to the track to find the gate locked. Guess we’ll have to pivot to some Lightpole fun. Run to first lightpole, do 10 merkins. Run back to startex. Run to 1st, do merkins, then 2nd light pole for 10 Bombjacks. Back and forth including squats at 3rd, LBCs at 4th, run to 5th. Then reverse the order and do the ladder again.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Invergence coming up, Bethel men’s shelter
COT: prayers for healing for families including Double D’s M.
