a16z & friends present: Second Order

**A16z & friends present: Second Order** a16z is bringing together founders and researchers to explore what happens when AI systems start building on top of each other — the recursive loops, emergent behaviors, and compound effects that define the next wave. You'll hear concrete examples of second-order systems in production and the architectural patterns that actually work. Best for builders who've shipped AI products and want to think beyond first-order applications.
