I subscribe to a variety of information feeds through email mailing list subscription. There's at least one mailing list that seems to get my attention on a regular basis, namely that produced by KurzweilAI: http://www.kurzweilai.net

The mailing list seems to touch on cutting edge news across AI research and business.

What do you subscribe to that you think others would benefit by if they were to as well?

If you like KurzweilAI I'd also check out Technically Sentient by Rob May and The Exponential View by Azeem Azhar. They're both great sources of info about the AI space.

A bit to the side: I don't subscribe to any lists at the moment. Should I start? Is it better than just checking the sites I care about once in a while? How do you personally use it?

Hey, thanks for linking hndigest! We're in the process of rebuilding hndigest from scratch. If you'd like to sign up now, I suggest using the beta version which has improved looks and robustness (and upcoming new features): https://beta.hndigest.com

(If you're an old subscriber, you'll be moved to the new version in the upcoming days/weeks. Don't fret, if you don't like the look of the new version you can still select the old-style look).
