It's sounds like Burning Man, without the sun, the dust, the wind, the sky, the people and traffic, the setup and cleanup, the enormous immersive art... it's almost exactly like being in the giant living room of a multi-millionaire with a few artists who invited a bunch of techno-hippies instead of being part of the artistic impression.

In my opinion, one might as well experience the 16th century by watching Game of Thrones on HBO.

Please just take drugs, like normal people.

My group of quite a few beautiful, younger, and richer people getting drunk, stoned, and taking part in wild sex parties is authentic, and yours is lame, you poser.

Did participants really consent to having their photos published?

I would think privacy is part of the appeal of intimate events like this.

Given that it was a professional photographer working for the Times, I think they probably did.

Almost naked, dusty, high people might be harder to reproduce accurately.

SV is the best parody of SV.

i know this might be a "diffusion of responsibility", but it would be nice if tech elites focused on problems such as rampant homelessness in SF/SV instead of recreating burning man in their living rooms...
