Oliver Habryka's org: runs LessWrong, the Alignment Forum, and the Lighthaven campus (former Rose Garden Inn, bought 2022 with FTX-era money, ~$20M incl. renovation, approx). Hosts LessOnline, Manifest, The Curve. Habryka is also the community's loudest internal critic of EA leadership opacity. Distinct from FLI's similarly-named 'Lightcone Foundation' (a $50M FLI-related entity, 2022).
