If you want to learn about actual Busy Beaver results, I suggest reading https://www.sligocki.com/ instead

Unlike Aaronson, he actually is on the forefront of Busy Beaver research, and is one of the people behind the https://bbchallenge.org website

https://www.sligocki.com/ hasn't posted since April, and the very first link on that blog is a link to... Scott Aaronson.

Could I bother you for some more info?

I spent 5 minutes trying to verify any link in the post above links to Scott Aaronson, or mentions him, and found nothing. :\ (both the siglocki, and when I found nothing there, the busy beaver site)

The "first" link (after the home button) on bbchallenge is the header bar link to https://bbchallenge.org/story which cites Aaronson in the first sentence (double first!). I would not describe it like OP for someone trying to find the actual link ;)

"One Collatz Coincidence", the 2nd story on the blog, also mentions Aaronson
