How do I get invited to them? Also, probably discord.

from most of these things you get the energy out that you put in. You can't be part of amazing culture without manually sifting through niche culture on the regular. Without reading forum posts by frankly rubbish amateurs. Without going to the bar where different garage bands host their first gig every night. Almost by defintion anything media promotes to you won't be interesting and new. If you just sit there and wait for it to come to you, you only get the things for which its worth people taking it to you. The things that extract the almighty dollar.

  Okay, so the issue is, idk where to even begin to find such places let alone sift through them. I found HN because I read a post by Scott Alexander (slate star codex), whom I found through lessWrong when I was studying RL and Control. And that was because I found OpenAI’s go-explore paper super interesting one night at the library which inspired me to go and do RL research for my thesis. So I am hoping I get some pointers in here :D

    Pay attention when wandering the Internet, and keep an eye out for interesting threads to pull get exceptionally interested in thread-pulling when people tell you not to pull them. Be prepared to not be squeaky clean, and be alert.
