SF has a built-in humiliation ritual where you:
move here → spam Partiful/Luma events → realize none of it matters → start building → raise money → end up hosting Partiful/Luma events yourself
everyone wants to move to sf to “meet people in ai”
they come and are excited about all the events, just to realize 6 months later that all they did was meet other people who are like them
they then either leave and say “sf wasn’t worth it” or they are smart and realize everyone worth meeting doesn’t go to these events
