I'm trying to decide whether to travel to EAG DC from Europe and it would help to know who's attending. My hypothesis is that many AI Safety folks (the area I'm currently most interested in) will have attended EAG SF and won't come to DC and that DC will be more useful for policy folks. Is this roughly correct? I've only ever attended EAG London so any assessment would help.
I am, and am interested in technical AI Safety
I'm also interested in answers, especially people travelling from London.
I'm curious about better understanding the EA policy landscape (but realistically I'd probably just end up standing around talking to people I already know).
I am, and am interested in policy, more specifically on biosecurity and nuclear stuff. Also yes, based on my discussions with folks in SF, EAG DC has many more policy guys than the EAG SF. Let's be connected: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickmoulios/
