Wow these replies are wild. So many people think this scene no longer exists! Its parties took a hit during Covid but it’s for sure still around… - Check out @BerkeleyAlembic for a gathering place - My magazine @newmodality namechecks and covers lots of people in this scene

I moved to San Francisco among a cohort of new people excited about AI. but I was also hoping there would still be some of the old San Francisco vibes around. Where are the psychogeographers and burners and weird occult people? have they all been priced out

I wonder if anyone with strong expertise in cluster B personality disorders also has strong expertise in AI - and has written about AGI. I’d read that essay for sure, and potentially edit/publish it, if it hasn’t been written yet.

At the time I saw this rainbow I was literally texting with a young friend who just read the magazine and was sending me compliments about it. With her permission, here are the texts she was sending I’m quite delighted by the omen ngl. Maybe it’s silly, but I still love rainbows

@ijfen @newmodality The incredible Jenna van Hout, who was the art director for the first issue, had to convince me to invest in that shiny cover. I was like “it’s gonna be so expensive” and she was like “it’ll be worth it” and she was one thousand percent correct 😹

@newmodality’s first issue even contains an excellent guide to throwing safe psychedelic parties from Annie Oak —a leading expert at that. Annie is where I learned a vital party safety measure: Inform everyone they are / will be held responsible for behavior of their invitees.
