Where does the Hackfort crowd think AI is taking us — utopia or the end of everything? Find out at this thought-provoking interactive installation, where every attendee gets one small, deliberate turn of a shared dial: toward prosperity, or toward doom. The catch? Nudging the dial toward doom is easy. Shifting it toward a hopeful future takes a little more intention. As the weekend unfolds, the dial becomes a living reflection of our collective gut feeling about AI's trajectory. Come add your voice — and see where we land.
