Post-Singularity Speakeasy (hosted by 500 Global, Zendesk, CRED)
Join us for our Post-Singularity Speakeasy Costume Game Night with poker, founder mafia, magic shows, DJs, and more. We’ll be at a secret 4-story mansion perched atop North Beach overlooking the Bay. It's unlike anything you've ever experienced this side of AGI.
The Post-Singularity Speakeasy is an underground gathering of founders and investors reveling in the last things superintelligence can't replicate like human connection, deception, and wonder. Once singularity is achieved, AI will solve humanity's largest challenges like disease, energy, and poverty, but it'll never replace genuine human relationships, life purpose, or tell if you're bluffing at poker or lying in a game of mafia.
Important:
🎩 Come dressed in your best post-singularity prohibition-style outfit or as your favorite AI founder or investor. Think Tony Stark meets Elon in a fedora or a superintelligence post-human all-white geometric flapper dress.
🤐 Only approved guests with the secret password will gain entry into the speakeasy. No +1s, so have your friends apply separately for entry.
🧥 Bring a jacket as we have a rooftop overlooking the SF Bay. It can get colder than cryogenic cooling in a data center.
♣️ Poker will be self-organized like a home cash game.
🍺 Snacks and drinks will be provided.
This is a first-come, first-served event. Even if you have a ticket, we will have to limit capacity, so plan to arrive early.
*This is an invite-only event for founders and investors.
