plzdontkillus - creator bootcamp
So we're taking over a sprawling Berkeley campus, filling it with smart, charismatic creators, a dash of incredible mentors, and a sprinkle of AI experts — then shaking the whole thing to see what happens. We'll give you free room and board. There's just one catch: post one shortform video every day, or you're out. We're looking for scrappy, undiscovered, experimental creators — people who just need the right environment to make something great. A 60-bedroom Berkeley campus with common spaces, gardens, and plenty of room to build. We want creative geniuses, not just people who are already worried about AI doom. Some of you will probably wind up worried. Others won’t. This is fine. We’d like everybody to rub off on each other. Plus, it’s hard to constrain creativity. If you’re required to think inside the “AI worry” box, you might miss cool opportunities or ideas elsewhere. If you’re a creative genius, we just want you to do your thing. We think AI has a decent chance of destroying hum
