I heard about Zuzalu through a contact who invests in longevity technologies. The gathering of the juggalos, held at a luxury resort in Tivat, Montenegro, runs until the end of May. Each week has a different theme, ranging from synthetic biology to artificial intelligence, although the overarching focus is on longevity, cryptocurrencies, and the idea of creating novel jurisdictions.
“Zuzalu is not just a conference,” Laurence Ion, one of the core organizers, told an audience at the event. “It’s an experiment in co-living and exploring what the physical presence of an online tribe would look like.” The concept came from the mind of Vitalik Buterin, the inventor of the cryptocurrency Ethereum, although the organizers stress that it was a collaborative effort.
The word Zuzalu doesn’t mean anything, says co-organizer Janine Leger, who works at Gitcoin, a blockchain platform. The name was generated using ChatGPT, using multiple prompts. The event’s logo was also AI generated. Buterin “spent hours on that one,” Leger says.
Over a cup of tea, Leger and Ion told me that they wanted as little hierarchy as possible. Members of the core team behind the event were each given 10 invitations, and those invitees were also given their own set of invitations. Leger and Ion won’t tell me who made the invite list, but other attendees gave me the names of celebrities, politicians, and billionaires who were rumored to have dropped in.
The real dystopian nature of this post being the Rolling Stones fan page got the fucking song title wrong

YouTube about blackrock guy
Blackrock is not someone I will defend but you are posting O'keefe Media aka Project Veritas stuff. If you are not aware they post extremely deceptive content that is selectively edited and I would say they are never to be trusted or engaged with.
Certainly that can be appropriate for this thread, but I'm not sure that was your take.

So was the video a deepfake, or did you not see the guys lips moving?
Did O'Keefe not just recently get removed from PV?
People and their teams

I know you've never had the type of job to understand where a recruiter lands on the corporate hierarchy, but it might be worth underscoring that he's a recruiter

Good point, I've only had the type of job that let me retire at 44 on 6 acres in a two story country house built in 1938 that I paid cash for

Hey man, if you need someone to ban you so you stop posting cringey shit, just let us know. It can be difficult to resist posting through it, but there's no shame in reaching out for a little help.

Cool man! Now tell us how powerful and in-the-loop you think recruiters are
