SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: How AI Alters Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “How AI Alters Thinking\,” on dealing with artificial intelligence’s capacity to change and undermine our thought processes\, with Eli Alshanetsky\, assistant professor of philosophy at Temple University\, principle investigator at its Cognitive Integrity Lab\, and author of an upcoming book on AI and freedom of thought. \nDoctors who give bad advice can be sued for malpractice. Teachers belong to a profession with set standards. When artificial intelligence guides you\, however\, that guidance comes with a disclaimer: Use at your own risk. \nEvery day millions of people take that risk\, and usually AI seems genuinely helpful. But even if AI gives us good answers\, might its use over time do bad things to how we think? \nExplore the relationship between AI and our own minds with Eli Alshanetsky\, whose Cognitive Integrity Lab studies how artificial intelligence changes how we think\, learn\, and build trust. Author of Articulating a Thought and the upcoming book Freedom of Thought in the Age of AI\, he’s on the cutting edge of efforts to answer AI-related questions such as: How can we tell when work is truly our own? How can technology support rather than replace authorship and reflection? What does trust mean when AI mediates our relationships with others and with our own thoughts? \nTo set up his discussion of potential consequences of AI\, he’ll describe how social media’s impact on society serves as a preview. \nSocial media didn’t just give people what they wanted to click on\, it actually changed what they regarded as click-worthy. It broke attention spans and fueled radicalization across millions of very different people. It left us with people who doom-scroll for hours\, who can’t focus\, who don’t know what to trust anymore. \nIf you’d shown people this version of themselves ten years ago\, would they have chosen it? \nArtificial intelligence is making a similar deal with us\, but the stakes are higher. It isn’t chasing clicks. It’s optimized for giving you the most satisfying response to whatever is on your mind right now. \nThe risk over time isn’t just that you’ll get lazy. More profoundly\, even when you think hard\, your sense of what counts as good thinking—as well as what sounds like you—will shift to match what AI has been feeding you. \nWe’ll consider what kind of person this produces and whether this is someone we want to be or want children to become. Professor Alshanetsky will lay out a practical framework\, which he calls “the interaction layer\,” for using AI without letting it replace the thinking it’s supposed to support. He’ll also talk about what AI-related concerns should be the focus of parents and educators. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 2:30 pm. Talk starts at 3:30.) \nImage: Illustration by David S. Soriano / Creative Commons.

SUMMARY:Hidden Gems: Lesser-Known Wine Grapes
DESCRIPTION:Wine didn’t always revolve around the same handful of grapes. \nHidden Gems explores rare and overlooked grape varieties that shaped regional wine traditions long before modern standardization. Some nearly vanished. Others endured quietly\, preserving styles that feel strikingly different today. \nThis tasting-based class offers a chance to experience wines chosen for their sense of place and individuality. A thoughtful\, engaging evening for anyone interested in wine’s deeper history—and where it may be headed next.

SUMMARY:Author Laurie Halse Anderson Visit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting event with Laurie Halse Anderson\, the award‑winning author of many amazing books for kids and teens! \nLaurie has stories that readers all over the world love—more than eight million copies of her books have been sold! Some of her books\, like Speak and Chains\, were even chosen as finalists for the National Book Award\, which is a really big honor for authors. \nUSA 250 \nIn 2026\, Americans are celebrating the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence and the founding of our country. Laurie’s historical fiction novels Chains\, Forge\, Ashes and Rebellion\,1776 transport us back to that time and illustrate the lives of teenagers growing up during the American Revolutionary War. In these books\, you can follow enslaved 13-year-old Isabel Gardener and her 5-year-old sister Ruth\, enslaved 14-year-old soldier Curzon Smith\, and working-class teen Elsbeth Culpepper\, as they struggle to make the choices necessary to survive the war years. Follow them through Boston\, Rhode Island\, New York City\, Philadelphia\, Valley Forge\, Charleston\, and to the war ending Battle of Yorktown\, Virginia. These books show the issues real people of the time faced as they dealt with family separations and punishments inflicted on them because of slavery\, poverty\, war\, and disease. As the nation’s founders were declaring that all men are created equal\, with the right to life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness\, the books ask you to think about being in chains while hearing those lofty ideals. Would you join the army and fight for principles of equality and freedom knowing that they may not apply to you because of the color of your skin\, or gender? We will be discussing these and other questions as we use Laurie’s books to remember the everyday heroes of our early American history. \nAbout Laurie\nLaurie lives right here in Philadelphia—and she enjoys eating cheesesteaks while she writes her books! \nEvent Details\nThe event will be held in the Montgomery Auditorium on the Ground Floor of the Parkway Central Library.\nBooks will be available to buy if you’d like one signed! \nWe hope you’ll join us for an exciting conversation with Laurie Halse Anderson.

SUMMARY:SACCO & VANZETTI: A TRAGEDIA DELL' ARTE
DESCRIPTION:In 1919\, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti\, two Italian immigrants and anarchists\, were arrested on suspicion of robbing a shoe factory and murdering the paymaster and a guard. Their trial and subsequent executions sparked worldwide protests due to concerns about bias against the defendants based on their political beliefs and immigrant status. Through the lens of commedia dell’arte\, Sacco and Vanzetti: A Tragedia dell ’Arte\, will highlight the absurdity of the case while being a comic foil for the tragic events of Sacco and Vanzetti’s lives.
