It seems plausible, though overall not that likely, to me that maybe the LessWrong team should just build our own conference platform into the forum. We might look into that next year as we are also looking to maybe organize some conferences.
That would be interesting! I’d be interested to see if that happens—I think there are probably a benefits from integration with the LW/EA Forum. In what scenario do you think this would be the most likely?
I think it’s most likely if the LessWrong team decides to run a conference, and then after looking into alternatives for a bit, decides that it’s best to just build our own thing.
I think it’s much more likely if LW runs a conference than if CEA runs another conference, not because I would want to prioritize a LW conference app over an EAG app, but because I expect the first version of it to be pretty janky, and I wouldn’t want to inflict that on the poor CEA team without being the people who built it directly and know in which ways it might break.
