This is the weekly visible open thread. ACX has an unofficial subreddit, Discord, and bulletin board, and in-person meetups around the world. Most content is free, some is subscriber only; you can subscribe here.

If you want to monitor the situation more closely, MIRI has a newish Substack called StopWatch where they discuss daily developments in the field (it’s also a podcast).
