Maybe something helpful to think about is, what's your goal?
E.g. maybe:
- You want to stay on top of new papers in AI capabilities
- You want to feel connected to the AI safety research community
- You want to build a network of people in AI research / AI safety research, so that in future you could ask people for advice about a career decision
- You want to feel more motivated for your own self study in machine learning
- You want to workshop your own ideas around AI, and get rapid feedback from researchers and thinkers
I think for some goals, Twitter is unusually helpful (e.g., workshopping early-stage ideas, building a network). Many other goals, I think you can get a higher fidelity, lower addictiveness path towards, for example staying on top of new AI safety research papers by reading the Alignment Newsletter.
