LessOnline 2026 — where AI researchers meet founders
LessWrong's annual in-person gathering draws frontier-lab researchers, startup founders, hedge fund operators, and philosophers into one Berkeley venue for a long weekend.
The stated draw: attendees are selected for intellectual ambition, curiosity, and willingness to engage seriously with hard problems. Dinner conversations cross disciplines; late-night talks sprawl into morning.
The community operates on reciprocal intellectual generosity — you listen as hard as you pitch. No spectators.
