AGI.WTF, an event for "making sense of what is happening with AI," runs Sept 22–23, 2026 at Lighthaven, Berkeley — and sold over 100 tickets despite announcing only five days before start. The site opens with a satirical timeline of fictional AI disasters (OpenAI hacked by its own AIs, Claude hacking organizations, Evan Hubinger's 10% extinction-risk call), and features speakers including Oliver Habryka, Rob Miles, Jeffrey Ladish, and Sydney Von Arx.
