Kudos to the whole team. Definitely worth crossing an ocean and a continent to attend. Thanks for everything đź’™
I think this is the first festival (of very many total) I've attended that has made me feel genuinely sad afterwards that it has ended. Huge thanks and congratulations to all organisers for pulling it off, especially in such a small amount of time.
Yeah, somehow it feels too short! / It's like I walked through the wardrobe into Narnia for years, and now that I've left it was somehow no time at all.
The vibes were immaculate. I was actively excited by easily 70% of the talks and side conversations. Fantastic.
Seeing all the wholesome nerd vibes. It felt like EAG but more rationalist. It was also kinda nice to experience being in a "neighbor-rationalist" zone, where the culture wasn't directly centered around x-risk / alignment stuff, but was friendly to it, with nerd vibes instead of EA vibes.
Meeting fascinating people and making connections, listening to thoughtful speakers, and collectively hyping prediction markets
Excellent attendee population of experienced and knowledgeable people.
The amazing speakers, I was much more focused on every speakers’ talks than most talks I attend. The small venue, allowing for lots of little serendipitous meetings to chat with others. The diverse events! Karaoke, dancing, lightning talks, night market, fireside chats, office hours. The very good food!! I loved all of the diverse topics of the sessions.
Being surrounded by the right sort of nerds, people who think about the world in sensible ways; the associated ambiance, of being able to wander around and tune in to tens of interesting conversations.
Talking to people! I was amazed that virtually every person I talked to, I felt I had an interesting conversation. I've never had that before.
