Travelling internationally to give a talk on AI to transhumanists in one of the main futurist areas of the UK seems quite low utility. (See: Preaching to the choir).
Has Eliezer anything particularly new to say which he hasn't said in previous talks or written about online, or are there likely to be many people there who are both interested in AI, important to it's future and yet also not following it?
If I was in the area I would be there, but a several hour round trip doesn't mesh with workdays too well.
He was already going to be in Oxford anyway, to attend and speak at FHI's conference on intelligence and existential risk, which seems well-justified.
