A recap of The Curve gathering, framed after the 1700s England dinner clubs where steam engine builders and chemists met monthly: new ideas need a few people weird enough to take them seriously before they find each other.
The event assembled AI builders alongside people shaping AI ideas, preparedness, and beneficial use. Conversations centered on doing hard things—post-training models, fixing state agencies, scientific leaps—and participants formed alliances around improving institutions, forecasting, and lowering risks.
