The confirmed camps so far at the
* Chiang Mai ‘AI’ Wamotopia festival
Ins: http://instagram.com/wamotopia
P2P Foundation (Michel Bauwens): Exploring “Civilizational AI” and how AI can be constituted as a Commons rather than a tool for extraction.
706 Youth Space: Hosting two camps—a Co-living Camp at Ada House (exploring ideal community living) and a Tech & Humanities Camp at 4Seas/Zuzalu Library (discussing accelerationism, intimacy, and labor).
The Hechyeomoyeo: An international art community hosting an exhibition at Far Studios with works from over 300 artists.
NCC (Digital Nomad Conference): Hosting a “Pop-up Tribe” and outdoor camping experiment for 200 people at Bodhi Courtyard.
Rural Construction DAO: connecting the “city wisdom” of Web3 with “earth wisdom,” including a summit in the Old City and a visit to the Pun Pun Organic Farm.
Cat GPT: A technical camp focused on training GPT-2 from scratch to understand the “AI apparatus” rather than just being used by it.
Questions That Matter: A community-driven intellectual forum at 4Seas Nimman for deep, unfiltered dialogue.
Hacker Retreat: A collaborative residency for AI builders, bio-hackers, and researchers. [https://x.com/Wamo_topia]

Wamotopia is a decentralized pop-up city where global communities live, work, and create together.. chiangmai wamotopia.love

why we build Wamotopia:
We stand at the threshold.
We possess the wisdom of gods, but we play the games of parasites. For thousands of years, humanity has known what a flourishing civilization looks like. Every sage and every philosophy points to the same north star: Unity. Trust. Shared flourishing.
The problem is not our ignorance. The problem is our System.
grammatis broken law et al
In an era where AI is reshaping production and efficiency, we’ve entered an unprecedented paradox:
the world is more connected than ever, yet increasingly isolated; resources are more abundant, yet meaning is receding.
The real crisis is not the technology itself, but the collapse of shared reality.
While the old world continues to be driven by logics of competition, control, and accumulation,
we choose to invent a new mode of civilizational operation—Wamotopia.
It is not an event, not a community, but a Living Protocol powered by positive externalities, permissionlessness, and decentralization—
that would be lovely.. but i haven’t seen anything yet get to the root of problem
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. [again].. for (blank)’s sake..
enabling people to regenerate trust, resonance, collaboration, and belonging, and to collectively operate a Shared Reality that can be replicated, spread, and evolved.
The future is not predicted—
it is collectively executed.
