**Speakers:**

**Tim Allen: Don't Get Pulled Under by the A.I Hype Wave**

**Abstract:**
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.
Congratulations, technologists! We have reached a new record for the height of the peak of inflated expectations with the hype surrounding “A.I.” If you believe the recent press, “A.I.” is going to be capable of everything, with some even talking of immortality. It is wonderful to be excited about new technology available to us, but this is at a level I have never seen in my career. There have been numerous lessons from the past that illustrate why we should avoid these levels of hype.
Is “A.I.” going to change everything? I don’t buy it, and in this talk, I’ll explain why.

**Bio:**
[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/flipperpa/)
Tim joined Wharton Research Data Services in 2008, after working for local companies and starting a few of his own. He began programming at age six during a summer camp his mother won in a raffle. Tim currently serves as an organizer of the Philadelphia Python Users Group, DjangoCon US, and as a member of the Python Software Foundation and Django Software Foundation. Tim is an avid hockey fan, was the first person to sell real world items for virtual microcurrency long before Bitcoin, is an avid open-source contributor, and enjoys beating his head against brick walls (as demonstrated by his passion for coding, cycling in Philadelphia, and never-ending quest to get his cat to behave). A life-long Philadelphia resident, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996 with an individualized major, “Computer Aided Information Acquisition”.

**Michael Becker: From Chaos to Catalog: The AI-Driven Path to Reporting Harmony**

**Abstract:**
In the vast expanse of business intelligence (BI) landscapes, thousands of dashboards sprawl across platforms like untamed wilderness. "From Chaos to Catalog" delves into how a large healthcare system embarked on a pioneering journey, leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to transform this sprawling chaos into a harmonious catalog of organized, accessible insights. This talk will explore the innovative strategies employed to categorize and transition BI dashboards from Tableau to PowerBI, demonstrating the power of AI in creating a structured, efficient reporting ecosystem. Attendees will gain insights into practical LLM applications for data management, the challenges of dashboard migration, and the ongoing quest for consolidation and streamlined reporting processes.

DataCraft: Ignite your Data Journey with Python

What other ways can you think of giving back to an open-source community like the vibrant Python community and shaping the future of the language? Do you wonder how the powerful tools, libraries, and packages we use professionally and in our side projects came into being?

Well, we’re about to find out how Python's open-source nature fosters collaboration and innovation. We will learn valuable skills for giving back to the community, from contributing to existing projects to starting our own.

Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started, the **Open-Source with Python** *meet-up session* will explore the many ways you can **contribute**, from **bug fixing** and **code reviews** to **writing documentation** and suggesting new features.

Open Source with Python.

We are continuing our Study group online for the time being.
We are now meeting online in the San Diego Python Discord server! Here is the link to join: [https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ](https://discord.gg/8GpWuVvdbQ)
There is a "meetup" voice/video channel that we will be using!

We may start meeting in person soon! This will be discussed at the meetup. We are considering having some online, some in-person. Decisions, decisions!

Every Saturday we meet up with the larger Python community (including San Diego PyLadies (http://www.meetup.com/sd-pyladies), Open BioInformatics San Diego (https://www.meetup.com/Open-Bioinformatics-SanDiego/) and San Diego Artificial Intelligence (https://www.meetup.com/SanDiegoAI/)) to chat, learn, and hang out.

Our study group is for everyone on their Python journey, whether you're just starting out, an experienced pro, or anywhere in between. There's no formal instruction, just a bunch of folks who like to code. Sometimes we talk about a specific subject, sometimes answer questions, whatever!

Python Community Code of Conduct (http://www.pythonsd.org/coc): Python is much more than a software language. Python is a vibrant community made up of members from around the globe with a diverse set of skills, personalities, and experiences. It is through these differences that our community experiences great successes and continued growth. Overall, we're good to each other. We contribute to this community not because we have to, but because we want to.
