I think it’s that San Francisco is meant to be a bunch of buttoned-up tech-bros and Washington DC is really going out their with all sorts of flashy and innovative legislation?
Even if the content of talks is fairly similar at the EA Globals in different cities, the vibe among attendees tends to be different. In SF there will be more people in tech, more in AI safety, more people involved in niche subcultures. There hasn’t been an EA Global in DC yet, but I’m guessing the attendees will have more people in policy work and academia, with a more mainstream cultural vibe.
What’s funny about it?
