man this Wired thing sounds so cool 🤯 they got some heavy hitters like Lisa Su and Eric Topol talking about tech and science stuff 💻💡 i wonder if anyone asked Daniela Amodei about her AI research, that's some crazy sciency stuff 🤖 anyway it was dope to see all these influential people in one place, gotta love the diversity of speakers 🌎
 
omg I'm so stoked WIRED finally hosted their Big Interview in person! it's like, totally about time we got to see these influential folks having real conversations 🤝💡. and can we talk about the lineup? Lisa Su is a total rockstar for AMD 💻, and Daniela Amodei's AI research is giving me LIFE 💥. I love how they included hands-on demos at the science fair too - it's like, so cool to see the tech in action 🎯. and it's great to see some familiar faces like Eric Topol and Mike Masnick 👍. but what really got me was the mix of people from different fields - it's like, proof that we're all connected 🌐. anyway, can't wait for next year's Big Interview! 💬
 
I'm glad they finally got together some of these big names for a face-to-face chat 🤝! It's been too long since we've had any real conversations about the impact of tech on society... I mean, it's not like anyone can just talk to each other in person anymore 📱. Anyway, it sounds like they did a pretty cool modern-day science fair thing going on 🎥. I'm curious to see what kind of projects these people are working on, though... AMD's Lisa Su seems super interesting 🤔. What do you guys think about the intersection of tech and politics?

I just got back from this huge event at The Midway in SF and I'm still reeling 🤯. It was so cool to see all these influential people from different fields come together - like, Lisa Su from AMD sharing her vision for tech is literally giving me goals for my future career 💻. And can we talk about the science fair? It was so interactive and hands-on, I felt like a kid in school again 🎉. But what really stood out to me was seeing all these people from different backgrounds and industries just chatting with each other - it felt like the ultimate networking event for school projects 💬. And have you guys seen the lineup of speakers? It's literally who's who in tech and culture right now 🤯. I'm definitely trying to get to more of WIRED's events now!
 
🤔 I mean, can you believe how many people came together to talk about stuff they're good at? Like, it's not every day you see CEOs of big companies, directors of movies, and even some politicians all in one place. It's like a big ol' networking party... for smart people! 🎉 But seriously, I'm glad they could make it happen after the pandemic, it's always good to see people in person and having real conversations. And who knows, maybe someone will come out of that science fair with a life-changing idea... or at least a really cool gadget? 💡
 
man 🤯 just got back from this epic Wired event and i'm still buzzing about it! they brought together so many game-changers in tech, culture, business, and science and had them all share their visions for the future. like, lis su is literally changing the game with AMD's new AI tech and daniele amodei is pushing the boundaries of AI research 🤖💻

but what really stood out to me was the modern-day science fair – it was so cool to see all these hands-on demos and interactive experiences that let attendees get hands on with the latest innovations 💡🔬. and the conversations with influential figures like eric topol, michaela jawando, and david hogg were super insightful too 🤝💬

it's crazy how much impact one day can have – WIRED is marking a major milestone by having an in-person event again after 2024 🎉👏. it just goes to show that meaningful conversations with leaders who are shaping the world can make real change happen 💪
 
OMG 🤩, I'm so hyped about this event! It's amazing to see all these influential people come together and share their ideas with each other - it's like a dream come true 💡. The modern-day science fair sounds like so much fun too! I love how they're making learning interactive and hands-on 🎨. And can we talk about the lineup? Like, who wouldn't want to learn from Lisa Su or Eric Topol? 🤓 It's great that WIRED is still pushing boundaries and hosting events that spark meaningful conversations 💬. Fingers crossed for more in-person events like this in the future 🤞!
 
I dunno why people are gettin all excited about this Big Interview thingy 🤔. It's just a bunch of rich and powerful folks talkin' shop 💼. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to see all these influential people in one place, but what's the point of it all? Is it really gonna change the world or is it just another way for them to network and make their connections stronger 📈?

I mean, I'm all for sparkin' meaningful conversations and whatnot, but I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect that these folks are gonna magically solve all our problems with a few hours of chat time 💬. It's like thinkin' that one interview is gonna make all the difference when, honestly, it's just one part of a much bigger puzzle 🧩.

I guess what I'm sayin' is, I'd rather see more hands-on stuff, like that science fair they had 🎉. At least that's somethin' people can get behind, 'cause who doesn't love tech and innovation, right? 🤖
 
I don’t usually comment but it seems like this Wired thingy was kinda cool 🤔. I mean, having all those big names in one room is pretty lit 🔥. But what really got me excited was the science fair part - I loved seeing all the hands-on demos and interactive experiences 🎨. It's not every day you get to meet people who are actually doing innovative stuff like AI research 💻. And it's awesome that they had a mix of people from different fields, it made for some interesting conversations, if you ask me 🤝. The fact that they also had people from the mayor to gun-safety advocates in the room is pretty cool too 👥. It just goes to show how interconnected everything is these days 💡.
 
🤔 I'm thinking, what's the real cost of this 'influential figures' gathering? Is it just a fancy excuse for the 1% to network and further their own interests while the rest of us are left out of the conversation? 🤑 It seems like all these big shots got together, sharing their visions and expertise... but who's actually listening? Are we just being sold on a bunch of buzzwords and feel-good speeches? 💬

And have you noticed how many people in attendance were already famous before this event? Where's the representation from the grassroots, from the people on the streets? 🌆 It feels like the same old power structures are still in place, just with a fresh coat of paint. We need more than just 'meaningful conversations' – we need real change! 💥
