My house is too distant from anyone to be a good place for a meetup. (I've tried.) I'd be happy to help someone else who was North of Los Angeles and had some reasonable expectation that people would show up if they were invited.
I’m trying to get popular support for the idea of an ACX-motivated god machine AI to do something truly disruptive and give $10,000/mo (or equivalent in Bitcoin or Etherium) to every adult in the US (UBI) in wealth redistribution. #FAFO Let’s really get this #abundance party started!
As for the meetup, I live way out in the reddest rural part of the only red county in western Washington state, where nobody wants to hear about ideas like this one.
But I do love your substack and read it faithfully, for its innovative ideas and hope for the future. I hope the meetups go well and many new converts are brought into the fold. Best of luck to all!!
As someone who travels a lot, I often try to meet up with local SSC readers. If someone reading this lives in a country with few SSC readers (ie somewhere in Africa, central asia or w/e), it can still be helpful to post a meetup, so visitors to your city/country may find you in the future.
If you are organizing an ACX Everywhere meetup in Virginia, want to coordinate so we don't overlap our meetup times (nor with DC's)? I have a meetup.com group that we can advertise the meetups on too if you'd like. Feel free to reply to me here or message me on LessWrong (my username there is 'Willa').
I'm 9x% sure someone else will host in Seattle, but I'd like to put my name in as a placeholder to avoid the bystander effect on the off-chance the regular folks can't do it. Is there a way to do that without expending the effort (which will very likely be wasted) of picking a location and time in advance?
This is a niche request, but I wish there was a highlighted/bullet-pointed "Relevant Dates" section in these posts (when to submit the form by, when the announcements will be posted, when the meetups should take place).
As a disorganized organizer, this is the only info I actually need, and I feel like I always have to skim the whole post looking for it while worrying that I missed something
If anyone is willing and able to organise a Meetup in Melbourne, I (and likely a couple of friends) would be keen
I attend the meetups in my area and we do the usual activities (talk, calibration games, information diet, etc.)
Wondering if anyone has more unique meetup ideas that would specifically interest the rationalist community?

Everyone is welcome to the Sofia ACX meetup in Bulgaria
Man, no Bangkok at all in 4 years (11M people)? No Manila (15M people)?? Where are all my nomad expat peeps who love SE Asia??
If any of you exist, let me know and I'll set up a meet somewhere.
Looking at the Tokyo / Singapore / HK numbers, I'd guess there'd be about 5 people for either Bangkok or Manila, so maybe that's the problem.

Is there any particular deadline for when aspiring meetup-organizers should have the form filled out by, beyond "before the big post goes up"?

Just a quick note about the sheet: Bali is not a country...
