People working in the AI industry are making stupid amounts of money, and word on the street is that Anthropic is going to have some sort of liquidity event soon (for example possibly IPOing sometime next year). A lot of people working in AI are familiar with EA, and are intending to direct donations our way (if they haven't started already). People are starting to discuss what this might mean for their own personal donations and for the ecosystem, and this is encouraging to see. It also has me thinking about 2022. Immediately before the FTX collapse, we were just starting to reckon, as a community, with the pretty significant vibe shift in EA that came from having a lot more money to throw around. CitizenTen, in "The Vultures Are Circling" (April 2022), puts it this way: The message is out. There's easy money to be had. And the vultures are coming. On many internet circles, there's been a worrying tone. “You should apply for [insert EA grant], all I had to do was pretend to care about x, and I got $$!” Or, “I'm not even an EA, but I can pretend, as getting a 10k grant is [...] --- First published: December 9th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/JtFnkoSmJ7b6Tj3TK/the-funding-conversation-we-left-unfinished --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Practice Exam #2 results are in...and they are good! It's Week 6 of GMAC Zach's EA prep and the results are in for his second practice exam.

Life challenges can serve as motivation during test preparation. It's common for scores to fluctuate; not every practice test will show improvement. Understanding the exam structure can help reduce anxiety. Reviewing questions you got wrong is crucial for future success. Focus on low-hanging fruit when studying for improvement. Practice tests should be taken within a few days of review for better retention. The EA exam's panel structure can be psychologically comforting. Setting realistic goals for future practice tests is essential.

And in entertainment power-move territory, Paramount's aggressive $108 billion bid for Warner Bros.—backed by investors tied to the EA acquisition group—escalates the fight for control of one of Hollywood's most influential catalogs.

Când Suzy privește pe fereastră, vede cum primii fulgi de nea plutesc ușor din cer, așternându-se pe pământ. Abia așteaptă să se joace afară cu prietenii ei! Ea și Elanul fac un om de zăpadă, iar apoi pornesc împreună prin pădure, să le caute pe celelalte animale. Însă o liniște ciudată domnește atât în jur, cât și în casele prietenilor lor. Oare de ce?

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Expediente GX, con DJ Panchi, de Tú, yo y el Indie. ¿Alguna vez os habéis preguntado por qué jugamos? O sea, ¿por qué nos gusta jugar a videojuegos? ¿Es por las historias? ¿Es por la jugabilidad? ¿Es por la suma de ambas partes? ¿O quizás es porque nos gusta tener el control y la posibilidad de superar retos que otros nos imponen? ¿Se trata de superación personal? Está claro que no es un solo motivo, que al final todo lo que he comentado influye un poco en nosotros, en mayor o menor medida, y hace que cuando disfrutamos de nuestro ocio favorito, sintamos cosas, sensaciones, sentimientos, emociones, todo eso que nos hace sentir vivos. Porque, no me digáis que no os gusta sentiros el puto amo cuando estáis jugando. Que no disfrutáis cuando superáis ese nivel que tanto os costaba, y no me neguéis que alguna vez le habéis hablado a la pantalla como si estuvierais hablando con el propio desarrollador, echándole a la cara que habéis podido superar ese reto que os habían planteado, sintiéndonos como si nadie antes lo hubiera conseguido, como si fuerais especiales. Pues esa es la clave de los videojuegos. Nos hacen sentir especiales. Como a nuestro invitado de hoy, que también vive todas esas emociones como un aficionado más a los videojuegos, y que también se siente especial cuando juega, como cualquier otro apasionado de esta forma de ocio. Hoy nos acompaña Alberto Chavarría. Hoy nos acompaña, DJ Panchi, del canal “Tú, yo y el indie”.

This week… "There are some new cycles starting, and they're just around the corner, and where we are right now is in a big completion moment. There are a lot of things that are ending; our emphasis, our energetic focus is on finishing, and finishing things can feel all kinds of ways but, often, there is some challenge to close out a cycle. And if there's not challenge, then there's often grief."This week-ahead reading for Dec 8-14, 2025 is an excerpt from this week's Somatic Space class with Renee Sills.

Effective altruism's technocratic worldview narrows our moral imagination and helps sustain human and animal injustice. Philosopher Alice Crary argues that effective altruism (EA) and longtermism, both shaped by Silicon Valley's techno-utopian fantasies, ignore social structures of oppression and offer either incremental welfarism or galactic transhumanism over genuine animal and human liberation. Highlights include: Why effective altruists treat concerns about personal integrity as a form of self-indulgence; How EA's welfarist approach functions as a band-aid that allows its billionaire funders and organizations like Open Philanthropy, Animal Charity Evaluators, and Faunalytics to avoid confronting the larger systems generating animal and human oppression; How longtermism - rooted in Silicon Valley transhumanist ideology - both preceded EA and continues to shape EA's pro-technology stance; What longtermism's emphasis on maximizing numbers of future off-planet, posthuman beings reveals about its disregard for present-day ecological and social crises; Why EA and longtermists are some of the biggest champions of declining-birth-rate panic; Why longtermist transhumanism reframes existential risk not as threats to social justice or planetary limits but as anything that obstructs an off-planet, techno-utopian future - including growth-limiting social and ecological movements. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript: https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/alice-crary OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.

Summary: Anthropic has many employees with an EA-ish outlook, who may soon have a lot of money. If you also have that kind of outlook, money donated sooner will likely be much higher impact. It's December, and I'm trying to figure out how much to donate. This is usually a straightforward question: give 50%. But this year I'm considering dipping into savings. There are many EAs and EA-informed employees at Anthropic, which has been very successful and is reportedly considering an IPO. The Manifold market estimates a median IPO date of June 2027: At a floated $300B valuation and many EAs among their early employees, the amount of additional funding could be in the billions. Efforts I'd most want to support may become less constrained by money than capacity: as I've experienced in running the NAO, scaling programs takes time. This means donations now seem more valuable; ones that help organizations get into a position to productively apply further funding especially so. In retrospect I wish I'd been able to support 80,000 Hours more substantially before Open Philanthropy Coefficient Giving began funding them; this time, with more ability to see what's likely [...] --- First published: December 3rd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/rRBaP7YbXfZibSn3C/front-load-giving-because-of-anthropic-donors --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. Last week, admissions decisions rolled out for several top MBA programs including Yale SOM, CMU / Tepper, Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross. This upcoming week, MIT / Sloan, Harvard, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Northwestern / Kellogg, UVA / Darden, Georgetown / McDonough, Johns Hopkins / Carey, Berkeley / Haas, Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua, UCLA / Anderson, Notre Dame / Mendoza and Arizona / Carey are scheduled to release their Round 1 decisions. Graham highlighted a webinar event focused on MBA career paths, scheduled for Thursday. Signups are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events The next livestream AMA is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16th; here's the link to Clear Admit's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/cayoutubelive. Graham noted several admissions-related pieces of content recently published on Clear Admit. The first focuses on December admissions events being hosted by top MBA programs. The second looks at how best to manage the congested schedule of Round 2 MBA application deadlines that arrive in January. The third piece looks at some of the issues related to applying to b-school as a younger candidate. The final article dives into whether deferred MBA admissions is a good pathway for undergraduate students. Graham highlighted a Real Humans piece spotlighting students from Berkeley / Haas, and then we discussed the recently published Harvard Business School employment report for the Class of 2025. This led to a discussion on search funds. Finally, Graham profiled a soon-to-be published podcast that focuses on leadership, from a conversation with Texas / McCombs. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a 685 GMAT score. They applied to programs in the first round and subsequently have started a new experience in Africa. We discuss their options for this season versus next season. This week's second MBA applicant is a military candidate with a master's in computer science. They applied in Round 1 with an EA score of 160. They may decide to apply to Sloan in Round 2, depending on results. This week's final MBA candidate has a 333 GRE score and has had several startup experiences.

This week on NAFC, the gang bounces across movies, games, and geopolitical absurdity like only they can. Mox kicks things off with his thoughts on Zootopia 2, while Izzy and Gibbs have fallen deep into Gloomhaven—cardboard suffering and tactical joy in equal measure.Izzy also compares Immortals Fenyx Rising to Breath of the Wild, confirming once again that Nintendo's shadow looms over us all. Gibbs brings a shoutout to Unavowed, the indie gem punching far above its weight.Then things take a turn into global insanity: Saudi Arabia's attempt to buy EA (because sure, why not), Iraqi “robots” that turned out to be… actual humans in suits, and an AI minister caught taking bribes—proving once more that dystopia isn't coming, it's already checking email.Finally, they dive into The Scarlet Letter (1995), a movie that took classic literature, tossed it in a wood chipper, and said “close enough.”Support us on Patreon!

Why is it the moment people start mentioning fighters as "the GOAT" of their division these days.... they lose? It seems the real curse in MMA isn't EA cover, Drake or anything else like that, but everyone calling the current champs the GOAT.

Eric Green sits down with “America's Favorite EA,” Timalyn Bowens, to talk about why now is the moment for tax pros to step up, get their EA, and start building real businesses - not just jobs. They dig into how the EA credential opens doors far beyond tax prep, why so many pros get stuck at the $100K mark, and what it actually takes to scale toward a million-dollar practice with automation, advisory work, and smart systems. Timalyn also shares her journey from public accounting to running a virtual firm, the mindset shifts that beat imposter syndrome, and how community, mentorship, and consistency can transform your career one step at a time.

The morning after Airbase's sale closed, Aneal Vallurupalli woke up to a very different org chart. Before the deal, roughly a third to almost half of the company reported to him, including onboarding, professional services, account management, customer success, and financial services revenue, he tells us. The day after, those teams rolled into the acquirer and “I have my EA reporting to me. And that was it,” he tells us. It left him thinking, “wait a minute… I'm not making any decisions anymore,” he tells us.That jolt became a pivot point. Rather than chase another title, he went looking for roles where finance could architect the whole engine—customer journey included. It's the same instinct that once led him to peel back Airbase's retention problem: starting with GRR by segment, then listening to Gong calls and mapping every step from contract signature to renewal, he tells us. Retention, he concluded, is almost never a single-issue story.Today, four weeks into his CFO role at Drata, it already feels like “the third quarter operating” there, he tells us. He talks about “ruthless prioritization” as a muscle first trained in high-level tennis and investment banking, where time, not money, was the real constraint.Now he wants finance to be the company's best “so what” team—not just reporting variances, but offering an informed view on what to do next. Even with AI, he is wary of “tool proliferation” and scattered agents, arguing that every business must choose deliberately what sits centrally on its data and what remains at the edge.
Effective altruism is a philosophical and social movement that uses empirical data to maximize the impact of charitable efforts. Those who champion EA praise its methodological framework for maximizing the effectiveness of donations, thus ensuring equal consideration for all individuals. Those who challenge EA argue that its emphasis on measurable outcomes may overlook important yet hard-to-quantify causes, potentially restricting the scope of what's considered beneficial. Now we debate: Does the Effective Altruism Movement Get Giving Right? Arguing Yes: Peter Singer, Author of “The Most Good You Can Do”; Philosopher and Emeritus Professor of Bioethics at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University Arguing No: Alice Crary, Co-Editor of “The Good it Promises, The Harm it Does: Critical Essays on Effective Altruism”; University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates Visit our Substack to watch more insightful debates and subscribe to our newsletter.

Last year, Sony launched it's service-based third-person shooter Concord, and it bombed worse than virtually any PlayStation-developed title in history. In fact, it was received so poorly that Sony disappeared it off the market in a matter of two weeks, gave everyone their money back, and snuffed the entire project out of existence while closing the studio that made it. Fast-forward more than a year, though, and Concord has kinda-sorta returned. Tech-savvy enthusiasts have revived the game on private servers, but Sony has already caught wind of it all and are working to nip it in the bud. Do we really need Concord to return? Why does Sony care if it does? And why do smart people work so diligently on things they don't own or have control over? Plus: Black Friday will be exceptionally nice for those looking for PlayStation hardware, accessories, and games, Sony dominates The Game Awards nominations with 19, Bungie prods its playerbase for ideas on how to improve Destiny 2, EA's F1 series is taking a year hiatus, possibly indicating the future of EA Sports, Peacock renews Twisted Metal for a third season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we keep the physical boxes for our gaming hardware? Would Sony ever revive The Legend of Dragoon? How does one navigate gaming's ragebait culture?
