One thing intrigues me about the meetups – are they usually more focused on members working towards being „rationally awesome” (CFAR-style) or is the much more theoretical (for a random bunch of people meeting over coffee) AI/futurology stuff (MIRI-style) a constant presence? Asked in another way – would explicitly ditching/not encouraging the latter somehow make a meetup uneLWish?
