CJB Lodge

Where friends figure out AI together — before AI starts making decisions for them.

The overview

Who this lodge is for

Anyone with no coding background who's curious about AI and wants to make sense of it through real, relevant events and controversies.

Why join

Learn about AI through relevant, real-world events and controversies — coding and maths stay light, with basic intuition-based content. You'll walk away understanding what AI can and can't do, and how to use it for real practical benefit without letting it do your thinking for you.

What you'll explore

  • Prompt engineering
  • Hallucinations & bias
  • Labour displacement
  • Productivity workflows
  • MCPs
  • RAG
