A London organizer says they are hosting what they call the city’s most optimistic gathering on September 5: a giant picnic in Hyde Park for people tired of being told the future is doomed.
There will be no speeches and no agenda — just blankets, food, and someone who needs cheering up. The post credits a group of AI and effective-accelerationist community accounts helping spread the event.
