Update: The poll feature is now out!

We recently discovered that the “Posts added to tags I'm subscribed to” notification type was generating way too many notifications (as previously noted in this post).

This is partly because the signup flow used to nudge people to subscribe to these notifications. We've changed this now. I have also just gone in and reversed any subscriptions that were already created this way, as my guess is that the vast majority of people wouldn't want them.

If you did like getting these notifications, you can resubscribe by going to the topic page and checking "Notify me of new posts" in the subscribe dropdown. You can also see which for which tags you have notifications turn on in this page under "Notification of New Posts with Tags" (the heading won't appear if you don't have any):

These are the topics affected (that are shown in the signup flow):

• Global health
• Animal welfare
• Existential risk
• Biosecurity & pandemics
• AI safety
• Philosophy
• Community
• Building EA
• Opportunities
• Policy
• Cause prioritization
• Career choice
• Forecasting
• Effective giving

Can we keep that please?

Good news, this is a permanent feature, as careful followers of our donation election should already be well aware.

Thanks for flagging this @Bella! There was a bug which made it update everyone's comment whenever anyone changed their vote 🤦‍♂️. This is fixed now

PSA: The CEA dashboard is now up to date again^[1]! It had been stale since June 2024 due to some issues in the recent data which needed cleaning up. We are planning to (as before) update this approximately once a month.

I'm curating this post. I was impressed by level of the detail on how ISO 26000 is put into practice, and I found the diagnosis of gaps in the AI safety ecosystem to be plausible. I know this was written as an academic exercise, but I found it to be more through through than many papers on AI governance from policy organisations.

Tickets are £120 per person which includes accommodation and food. That’s the at-cost price.

This is incredible for a 4 day event!

I'm curating this post. It's concise and uses a straightforward methodology, and I think the takeaway finding is an important idea to spread awareness of (that people are quite resistant to stopping eating meat).

I'm curating this post. It makes a good case on purely price, taste, and convenience grounds for why alt proteins are still trailing behind animal products.

For a counterpoint people may be interested in reading Price-, Taste-, and Convenience-Competitive Plant-Based Meat Would Not Currently Replace Meat.

Out of interest, did there happen to be a tender offer running since this post came out or is there some other way you can sell the shares?
