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.
