One free signup includes all of it:

Small groups, real conversation

Facilitated sessions in breakout rooms of three or four. Talking it through with people who take the question seriously is what makes it real.

Lens Coach, at every step

Reads alongside you: ask the dumb questions, chase the tangents, test your understanding. It handles logistics too: need to swap a session, just tell it.

A 1-on-1 coaching call

With someone working on AI safety full-time, while our calendars allow it.

A certificate you can verify

Three tiers (Associate, Professional, Expert), each with a public verification link. Earned against real assessment, not just attendance.

The sharpest reading, curated

We don't reinvent the wheel. Each course builds discussion around the field's best material, from IABIED to Redwood Research's futurism list.

A community that stays

Your group, your cohort, and a network that spans every timezone: people working out the same questions, from every kind of background.

You don’t need to prove yourself to us.
We’ll help you prove yourself to the world.

No application, no selection process. Come to the first session. If it’s not the right fit, we’ll help you find something that is.
