Anticipating a technoprogressive future: hopes and fears

This London Futurists in the Pub gathering will be exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the technoprogressive worldview. That worldview rests on two fundamental principles: 1. Pay serious attention to the profound transformative potential of emerging technologies 2. Recognise the deep social factors behind flourishing: culture, institutions, power structures, narratives, and more The first of these principles rejects ideas that future flourishing will be at best a modest step-up from what people have experienced in the past or the present. The second of these principles rejects atomistic or individualist conceptions of human experience and flourishing, On that basis, the technoprogressive worldview proposes commitments in three categories: * *Shared ethical commitments* in support of a plurality of concepts of sustainable flourishing, with no-one excluded * *Shared epistemic commitments* about evidence, uncertainty, prediction, and correction * *Shared governance commitments* about accountability, concentrated power, and reversibility **What are the strengths of this worldview? How can it be fleshed out into practical policy suggestions? What are its potential blindspots?** These are the starting points for our informal discussion on Thursday 27th August in the upstairs room at Ye Olde Cock Tavern in Fleet Street. == Schedule == 5:30pm: The room is available, for early get-togethers 6pm-6:15pm: A chance for everyone to order drinks (and food, if you wish) 6:15pm-7:15pm: David Wood leads a group discussion about the technoprogressive worldview 7:15pm: Another opportunity to visit the bar 7:30pm-8:30pm: Other attendees have the chance to offer their views, on the main topic or related ideas or news items 8:30pm: Informal networking == RSVP please == Registrations are capped at 35 people. *First-time attendees are welcome.* There's no charge to register or attend, but the pub will expect everyone to order at least one drink, and a reasonable number of attendees to [order some food to eat](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/ye-olde-cock-tavern/menu?type=main+menu). == Some background reading == See the online essay ["Design commitments for trustworthy technoprogressive governance"](https://dw2blog.com/2026/07/25/design-commitments-for-trustworthy-technoprogressive-governance/). For the idea behind the spiral in the image, see the note at the end of [this Luma page](https://luma.com/bk22gy6s). == More about the venue == Ye Olde Cock Tavern, 22 Fleet Street, Holborn, London, EC4Y 1AA See [https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/ye-olde-cock-tavern](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/ye-olde-cock-tavern) We'll be meeting in the room at the top of the stairs, though drinks and food should be ordered from the bar on the ground floor. \*\* Note that this is an in-person meeting, and there will be no remote access, sorry \*\*

Software Factory with SuperPlane & Elastic - When Agents Build, Ship, & Fix Code

Software factories are here. AI agents write code, open PRs, run tests, deploy to production, and respond to incidents - all without waiting for a human to click a button. Join SuperPlane and Elastic for an evening where engineering leaders, platform teams, and SREs explore what it actually takes to run a software factory: how agents ship code, how Elastic monitors what happens in production, and how SuperPlane orchestrates the full loop from commit → deploy to incident to fix. SuperPlane is the agent orchestrator that turns your tools into a software factory. Elastic is the observability engine that tells you what's happening inside it. This is an unconference, you bring the topics, we bring the structure (and drinks). Come with opinions about how far you'd let agents go. 📅 **Date:** Tuesday, September 1st from 6:00-9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Elastic London Office Davidson Building, 1st Floor, 5 Southampton St, London, WC2E 7HA **Some topics we would discuss:** * How much autonomy should agents have in production? * Building the feedback loop: deploy → observe → respond → learn * Agents that fix what agents broke - is that a loop or a spiral? * What does "human in the loop" actually mean when agents ship 10x faster? * Observability as the control plane for your software factory * From Kibana alert to automated rollback - what's your threshold? * The trust problem: when do you stop reviewing agent PRs? **Format:** * Topics proposed by attendees at the beginning * Sessions run in small groups (\~5-7 people) * 30 minutes of facilitated discussion per session * Open participation and movement between sessions encouraged 📝 **Schedule:** * 6:00 – 6:30 PM → Arrival, food & drinks, networking * 6:30 – 6:50 PM → Welcome + software factories w/ Elastic & Superplane * 6:50 – 7:00 PM → Topic proposals & voting * 7:00 – 7:30 PM → Session 1 * 7:30 – 7:40 PM → Short break * 7:40 – 8:10 PM → Session 2 * 8:10 – 8:20 PM → Short break * 8:20 – 8:50 PM → Session 3 * 8:50 – 9:00 PM → Wrap-up & key takeaways * 9:00 PM → Closing **About SuperPlane** **[SuperPlane](https://superplane.com/?utm_source=luma)** Software Factory platform that transforms software delivery from a collection of manual tasks into an orchestrated, AI-powered production system. It coordinates AI agents, developers, infrastructure, and operational tools to build, test, deploy, and maintain software with speed, consistency, and governance. **About Elastic** **[Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/?utm_source=luma)** is the observability stack behind high-velocity engineering teams. With Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the rest of Elastic Stack, engineers, SREs and platform engineers get real-time visibility into logs, metrics, traces, and security events correlated in one place, not scattered across tools. As release cadence increases with the adoption of software factories, Elastic keeps you in control of what's running and why.

ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

A special event to share the creative practice of zine making 💭✍️✂️🎨📖 IN A NUTSHELL, zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. You will soon be able to see some of their zines [here](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress). They’re excited to share with you! **IN THIS WORKSHOP, we will:** * Introduce the practice * Share some examples: brief history of zine making, LessStressPress examples * Get to know each other’s interests * Brainstorm using collage and scribbles: get into a low stakes, creative headspace * Use a template to plot our zines: 2 covers and 6 pages of content * Design our first zines (everything is possible with analogue materials, but if you love digital design, bring a laptop) * Sharing circle * **Optional finale:** * Visit the print shop visit together * Print copies of our new zines * LESS STRESS PRESS Pop Up: hand out copies of our new zines to strangers :-) **BY THE END OF THE DAY, we'll have** * learned a new practice to spark creativity and clarify thinking * met a new group of people and learned about the things they care enough to make a zine about * had some thought provoking conversations * produced our own original zines, ready to share :-) **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning a new practice we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable day, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a relaxed hang out in a café with an additional creative twist. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas. **WHERE WE'LL MEET:** We'll be meeting in a beautiful little creative studio in Stoke Newington. The exact address will be provided to attendees directly. **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- newsletter and reflections **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcSICl49X509EFdGBo3hKg)** \- stay in the loop **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)** \- see what we look like \(content coming soon 😅\) **[WEBSITE](http://www.alltogether.one/)** \- everything else **#creativity #inclusivity #openmindedness #creativepractices #community #newskills #zinemaking**
