    [Linkpost] “Global vs. local feedback” by MaxDalton

    This is a link post. This is one of many short notes on management that I'm planning to post on Substack. I might crosspost to the Forum/LW if there's interest. Happy to discuss in comments! There's a difference between: Local feedback (”That email was really well clear, it would have been great if there were a summary too.”) and Global feedback (”I’m glad you work here. You’re especially strong at written communications, but it would be great if you could improve your attention to detail”). You could be synced up with your direct report locally but not globally, or vice versa. You could be giving too much negative local feedback and too much positive global feedback, or vice versa. The weekly mini performance review I’ve found it useful to write a short (3-4 sentence) piece of global feedback, like a mini performance review, for each person I manage.

    [Linkpost] “Pause House, Blackpool” by Greg_Colbourn ⏸️

    This is a link post. Are you passionate about pushing for a global halt to AGI development? An international treaty banning superintelligent AI? Pausing AI? Before it's too late to prevent human extinction? Would you like to live with a group of like-minded people pushing for the same? Do you want to do much more, but don’t have the financial means to support yourself volunteering? Then apply to stay at Pause House. I (Greg Colbourn), am offering free accommodation, (vegan) food, and a small stipend for those who need it (£50/week). In exchange I ask for a commitment to spending at least 20 hrs a week on work related to pushing for a Pause. This could be either campaigning/advocacy, or raising public awareness. If you have an income, then I ask that you pay ~cost price (£20/day). Pause House is located in Blackpool, UK, next door to CEEALAR (which I [...] --- First published: October 13th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/fhiXNB4RS3h5BpQLF/pause-house-blackpool Linkpost URL:https://gregcolbourn.substack.com/p/pause-house-blackpool --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

    “I’m an EA who benefitted from rationality” by Julia_Wise🔸

    This is my personal take, not an organizational one. Originally written May 2025, revived for Draft Amnesty Week. When I discovered the beginnings of EA, it felt like coming home. I had finally found a group of people who cared as much as I did about saving lives. When I discovered rationality not long after, it felt new. The intensity of LessWrong was both offputting and fascinating to me, and I read a lot of the site in the summer of 2011. I had studied sociology and was used to thinking in terms of ethics and emotions, but not in terms of statistics or economics. LessWrongers were picky and disagreeable, but I learned reasoning skills from them. Before EA even had a name, LessWrong was one of the best places to talk about ideas now associated with EA. My first post in 2011 was about what would [...] --- First published: October 13th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Cd6pct5CADkDjwhoz/i-m-an-ea-who-benefitted-from-rationality --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

    [Linkpost] “Bloomberg Businessweek: ‘How Generations of Selective Breeding Created Miserable Chickens’” by AxellePB 🔹

    This is a link post. I’m a journalist covering animal suffering in agriculture. Yesterday, Bloomberg Businessweek published a story from "Chicks on Speed: Big Chicken's Push for Faster Birds, But Slower Reform", a cross-border investigation I’ve been working on with five other European journalists: Julia Dauksza, Tracy Keeling, Wojciech Oleksiak, Andrei Petre and Paul Tullis. This work was made possible by the support from Journalismfund Europe. More about the investigation So far, our work has been published in Bloomberg Businessweek, Le Parisien, UFC-Que Choisir, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and Mindcraft Stories. Two additional articles are expected in the coming months. Eurogroup for Animals wrote a blogpost about the investigation: "Plight of fast-growing meat chickens hits mainstream media". Bloomberg Businessweek agreed to produce a short social video about the story. They also released an audio version for Spotify and will use it as their Sunday newsletter this week.

    “The 5 Obstacles I Had to Overcome to Become Vegan” by David Bravo

    Today, I became vegan. Just 24 hours ago, I couldn’t have imagined this would be the case — at least not so soon. Reading Óscar Horta's Making A Stand For Animals[1] (MASFA, from now on) hit me like a freight train as I turned page after page, chapter after chapter. Now there was something I could no longer unsee — something that compelled me to act in accordance. Internally, this feels like the first major moral decision I’ve made in my life. I had made important decisions before to align with my values. Volunteering, joining Effective Altruism, committing to upskilling in AI Safety rather than pursuing a Master's or a conventional job, taking the 10% Pledge, saying “yes” to helping run an EA university group. It's not that these weren’t hard decisions, but they didn’t feel like hard moral decisions. They involved practical challenges, but they simply felt like [...] --- Outline: (01:38) I (03:27) II (05:55) III (09:11) IV (09:57) V (11:28) Being vegan as a case of EA in practice --- First published: October 10th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/bG9qqPWMrGdDDJEt5/the-5-obstacles-i-had-to-overcome-to-become-vegan --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

    “You can raise $3 for The Humane League just by clicking some buttons: Tab for Ending Animal Suffering” by AlexG

    TLDR: Through the end of October, we are giving $3 (Up to $5k total) to The Humane League for each new person who tries out Tab for Ending Animal Suffering . It is a free browser extension that uses a few ads on your new tab page to raise money for non-profits. In the post, I share a little bit about what we've learned so far, and also ask for ideas on places to get the word out. As a longtime forum lurker, I'm excited to make my first post and share my newest project: Tab for Ending Animal Suffering. (In October, we are running a campaign where $3 will go to The Humane League for each new person who signs up, so it is a great time to try it out!)

    “Building an Impact-focused Community” by Kevin Xia 🔸, SofiaBalderson, Kyle J. Lucchese 🔸

    Acknowledgements: A huge thank you to the Hive team and the many community builders who have shared their wisdom with us over the years. This post is an attempt to synthesize those lessons. Special thanks to Therese Veith, Gergő Gáspár, Sam Chapman, Sarah Tegeler, and John Salter for reviewing this post. All mistakes and oversights are our own. TL;DR: This post walks through some of our key insights from building Hive, a global community for farmed animal advocates, and other communities within and outside of the EA space. We walk through a three-phase approach to community building, and extensive notes in the footnotes. In short: Phase 0: Solve a Problem, Don't Just Start a Group. Before you build anything, a specific group of people needs a compelling reason to gather. Phase 1: The Cold Start Problem & Initial Growth. Obsessing over your first users, doing unscalable things to provide value, and [...] --- Outline: (00:35) TL;DR: (01:58) Why Were Writing This (02:42) Phase 0: Solve a Problem, Dont Just Start a Group (Before you launch) (04:28) Phase 1: The Cold Start Problem & Initial Growth (Months 0-3) (07:19) Phase 2: Scaling, Setting up Systems, and Navigating the Messy Middle (Months 3-12) (11:19) Phase 3: Maintaining and Supporting the Ecosystem (12+ months) (14:28) Knowing When to Stop or Sunset (15:44) Common Pitfalls to Avoid (18:07) Share Your Journey (18:49) Appendix: Quick Start Checklist --- First published: October 10th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/SaaLXZv9aobdHcQZA/building-an-impact-focused-community --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
