Thanks for your comment and question.

Our strategy to increase distribution of the newsletter:
- Increase the quality of the newsletter such that the organic growth rate increases
- Contact team members of safety teams of major AI labs and academic centers (supernodes) to share it on their internal communications channels
- Share it on the AI Alignment Slack (#events), and potentially other popular events-related channels
- Nudge maintainers of onboarding resources for new AI safety researchers to include it as a recommended resource

This is tentative and open to feedback. We've grown to ~1K subscribers so far with organic growth but the resource would likely be beneficial to at least 2-3x more people. We would attempt proactive growth in 2025.

I believe PIBSS is a solid project – recruiting senior researchers into AI safety research, developing rigorous theoretical foundations backed by empirical work, and consistently producing valuable research outputs.

Liron's interviews are useful contributions to the public discourse and are on a good trajectory. They have potential to engage broader audiences. Additionally, I've personally benefited from them.

AI Safety Camp provides important infrastructure for the field.

Lightcone provides important infrastructure.

Progress at the intersection of Live Machinery and governance processes / public administration could have significant potential upsides.
I've met Murray in person, and I've been impressed by their insight on law, governance, history, collaborativeness, care, and potentialities of leveraging AI tech in this space.

redesigning the machinery (i.e. interfaces, infrastructure, methodology) underlying formal theories to take advantage of AI assistance seems worth exploring 👍
