An Introduction to the Darknet

The darknet is the anonymous part of the Internet that is invisible to "normal people". It's used to provide access to content that might bring you in trouble in the country you reside in. That could be political speech, criticism of the system you live in, or simply being able to watch porn in a country where that is blocked. And of course, the darknet is also known for having market places where stuff can be bought that might be legally risky or only available in bad quality in the country you reside in.

You will learn what the darknet is and how it works. You will be introduced to how marketplaces on the darknet operate. In the second part of the session, we will show you how to actually use these marketplaces in safe way. This includes learning how to setup a computer for this, how to acquire crypto currencies in safe way to be able to pay anonymously, and how to make sure goods are delivered to you in a safe way.

Artifical Intelligence and Large Language Models - how they work, the opportunties and risks involved

AI is at the peak of it's hype-cycle. Everything needs to be AI now. People envision that in future your toaster will be able to tell you how to improve your sex life. There are people who are scared, people who spread fear, uncertainty and doubt, but mostly right now it's a huge marketing show.

This starts with the fact that pretty much everything that is called "AI" right now actually does not contain any kind of a computer having any kind of Intelligence. As most people don't have an understanding on how this stuff actually works, the technology today is mostly judged based on rumours and "believes". Whatever your believes may be, we will replace them with actual knowledge.
