Summary
Leaked Dialog files revealed how the invitation-only network scores members, plans sessions and pairs attendees ahead of its next two-day retreat outside Dublin in August.
Wired reported the club assigns A, B and C status tiers plus 1-to-4 “value-add” scores, using them to decide who can be disinvited and who pays tens of thousands of dollars.
The same data showed agendas ranging from “Bring Back Nuclear” and “Contrarian AI Takes” to “Navigating WWIII” and “How’s Your Sex Life?”, underscoring the breadth of off-record discussions.
Dialog also kept matchmaking and networking records, including photo-and-bio introductions and “do-not-pair” lists for spouses, associates and some unexplained exclusions.
Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew said the leak included home addresses, phone numbers, emails, birth dates, allergies and some political leanings, exposing weak security around a club founded in 2006.
