TagLast edit: 3 May 2025 20:25 UTC by Will Aldred

Lightcone Infrastructure is an organization that builds community infrastructure projects expected to help safeguard humanity’s long-term future.

Lightcone Infrastructure built the version of LessWrong launched in 2017 as well as the AI Alignment Forum; both projects continue to be in active development.

Lightcone Infrastructure also runs Lighthaven, a venue for conferences and other events in Berkeley, California, which opened in 2023.
