Some thoughts:

1. Abolishment vs welfarism. The goals of the movement may diverge in both the long term vision (complete abolishment vs happy farms) and in respect to the medium term (less animals grown for food vs animals grown for food have better living standards).
2. Difference between species and tradeoffs between them (e.g. increased cost of pig meat can increase consumption of chicken meat).
3. As others have noted, there are important secondary effects on the movement itself for most interventions. I think it is a very important meta- question about how prioritization should account for it.

This is a really cool idea, and the level of execution on the testing and reasoning is spot on👌In particular I think it was a great choice to start experimenting with "plaintext" shared state.

This kind of research can also give some clarity on multi-agent AGI risk scenarios (e.g Distributional AGI: https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2512.16856 ), in the sense of coordination between supposedly stateless agents. 

One use case for the forum is as a curated database of relevant writings, allowing for discussion and discovery, and perhaps useful for AI models. Perhaps it will be good to spam the forum with much more cross-posted content from blogs of relevant people and organizations.

If this is done on old posts, they shouldn't appear on the frontpage, and automatically cross-posting should be possible and simple in current tech. 

Im still in awe of current AI capabilities 

I'm curious about how representative the EA forum is to the EA community, particularly in regards to worldview. One thing you could try is to take the EA community surveys done by RP, and estimate how a random representative of "the forum" would answer, where the random representative might be a random user or a random comment/post weighted by karma or amount of text

Alternatively, people find engaging with bugs "yucky" so they prefer having an excuse not to step on a spider :\

Hey Maria! In case you aren't aware of them and their work, you might be interested in reaching out / following @Gidi Kadosh (VIVID), @spencerg (Spencer Greenberg of Clearer Thinking), @Inga (Inga Grossman of Rethink Wellbeing), and probably others I'm blanking out on 😊

Also, I'm curious about what you mean by "Foundations of Protection"?
