Worth distinguishing the #EffectiveAltruism most of us actually practice, donating 10% of income to wherever it does the most good (global health, animal welfare, climate funds), from the TESCREAL / Roko's Basilisk / longtermist AI cult that keeps getting bundled with it. Very different communities with very different goals.
-
Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.
Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.
Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

International Animal liberation dinner after the Effective altruism Nordics conference in Stockholm at the vegan restaurant Verte.
Being surrounded by antispeciesists who work in the academia and genuinely want to make the world a better place for animals, through their publications and educative talks is so refreshing.

Thank you for these! Have read the first two and am by now well and truly embarrassed.. I even knew of these AI doomers inside AI world hyping its dangers to “up it” (though hadn’t realised they were linked to #effectivealtruism); i just didn’t fully compute that Soares was one of those and was gullible because it was Novara Media..
Really enjoying your posts, by the way

“I like that sentence and think it’s true.” is a phrase that still lives rent-free in my head. Every time it repeats, #NickBostrom sounds more like a moron.
To repeat a #MichelleObama quote which also lives rent free in my head, "These people are not that smart."
Remember that every time someone in charge claims to be the end-all be-all of anything, or tries to talk outside of their field of actual experience, especially when the #philosophy guy all the rich kids like starts talking about #genetics like he knows shit. :blobcoffeeraccoon:

The people running #bigtech and #ai believe in ludicrous #antihuman philosophies like #effectivealtruism and #longtermism. The sooner they're out of power the better because we're at the edge of being too late.

Review of "Moral Ambition" (3 stars): This Could Have Been a TED Talk...

If like me, you have been confused by your mixed feelings about #EffectiveAltruism, this is a great read.
https://www.persuasion.community/p/the-problem-with-effective-altruism
"Both Marxism and effective altruism claim that they have figured out the true way to make the world a better place. And both Marxism and effective altruism flatter their adherents into thinking that this gives them a key role in a movement that will prove to have world-historical importance."
Imho, #buddhism solves these problems naturally. What do you think?

RE: https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru/116149931726546755
Please read this excellent post and understand that many of our tech leaders are steeped in cultic thinking that allows them to justify any atrocity they foist onto us in the present by claiming that they're doing it to improve the lives of trillions of future humans in a pan-galactic civilization thousands of years from now. No, I am not exaggerating. Read the article. #AI #claude #effectivealtruism

Across Civil Society you can almost hear the mumbling of activists suddenly staring at their shoes wondering if they now have to defend AI & “Effective Altruism” against Trump

Ik had Rutger Bregman al grotendeels – maar nog niet helemaal – afgeschreven door zijn geïnstitutionaliseerde effective-altruism-mentaliteit.
Maar hij is met het schrijven van zijn laatste boek verworden tot een heuse prompt engineer! Helemaal met AI geschreven, dus. De tijd om hem serieus te nemen is nu écht voorbij 👋
(Over één ding ben ik het met hem eens: journalisten en schrijvers moeten eerlijker worden over hun AI-gebruik. Maar in mijn geval is dat zodat ik ze allemaal bij het grofvuil kan zetten.)

Ich biete folgende Definitionen an:
#Wohlstand herrscht, wenn jeder bekommt, was er braucht.
#Reichtum ist, wenn jemand mehr hat als er braucht.
#Geld vermittelt den #Zugang zu dem, was ich brauche.UND jetzt kommt's:
Wohlstand schützt vor Extremismus.Diejenigen, die bereits in langer Tradition von Macht und Wohlstand leben, wissen das und betreiben #effectivealtruism.

In late November, NPR’s Planet Money covered USAID, GiveWell, and Effective Altruism in a way that feels surprisingly uncritical of the movement. Worth remembering that EA has drawn substantial criticism, from its philosophical assumptions to its real‑world impacts. Interesting episode, but not the whole picture. #Economics #EffectiveAltruism #Nonprofits #PolicyStudies #NPR #Givewell #USAID

🍽️ det nye budskab fra #DanskVegetariskForening: »du behøver ikke stoppe med at spise dyr, hvis bare du giver os penge i stedet for.«
💶 logikken er at man i stedet for at spise #plantebaseret kan kompensere for #dyremishandling ved at donere penge til en #NGO (såsom #DVF), der arbejder for at folk skal spise #plantebaseret.
🍖 problemet er bare, at #DVF ikke længere arbejder for at folk skal spise #plantebaseret, når de fortæller folk, at det er fint at spise #kød, hvis bare de giver dem penge.
🤑 ingen aktivisme tilbage længere, bare penge.

"At a time when many media organizations are facing steep financial challenges, the opportunity to bring in hungry, smart young journalists interested in covering the biggest story of the decade has been hard to resist. And over the course of the last several years, Tarbell fellows have produced interesting work and legitimately newsworthy scoops, some of which have been positive about AI, or critical of both OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI has rapidly become one of the most important companies in the world, and of course deserves strong journalistic scrutiny as it attempts to reshape modern life.
Still, at a moment of record low trust in media, editors may want to think twice before welcoming journalists paid by an outside organization with an ideological point of view on one of the biggest stories in the world.
Perhaps this is the new reality of a more modest news media in 2025. As the economics of news business have become trickier, media companies have become more accustomed to loosening some of the old boundaries between the editorial and revenue sides. Many media companies take cuts of sales of products they recommend, while independent news creators often sell their own ads while writing about companies, services, and products. Hosts of podcasts who read advertisements can bill them at higher rates than normal ads because listeners trust the hosts.
Indeed, I emailed a leading thinker on media ethics in nonprofits to ask what they thought of the arrangement. They declined to comment, acknowledging that they were “conflicted out” by ties to one of the organizations involved, and could not weigh in objectively."

Oh great, yet another 📚 book promising to resurrect the already #overanalyzed origins of Effective Altruism. Because clearly, what the world needs right now is more overcooked #philosophy from the #1970s, rebranded by yet another self-proclaimed savior. 🙄

Jeffrey incorporated my early work at The Kennedy Beacon into his article on #EffectiveAltruism, which was a big deal for me right at the beginning of my political journalism career:
https://brownstone.org/articles/money-trails-of-pandemic-planning-racket/ -
(It is IMHO symptomatic that the authors of the paper above, and in general the broader #x-risk / #EffectiveAltruism community, tend to go to great lengths to avoid talking about the obvious solution to unilateralist's curse and many other problems: fair, #democratic sharing of #power.) 12/12

I'm not completely sure platforming Nate Soares to the Hank Green audience without some real context is a good idea.

Traditional philanthropy is bad. It’s often corrupt, too. But Effective Altruism is even worse.
When you reduce all of ethics to economics, improving the lives of 450 billion farmed shrimp is always going to win a statistical analysis over funding long-running education programs with uncertain results in small & impoverished villages.
Crazy timeline.. 🤦♂️

"As I say in the book, Andreessen’s manifesto runs almost entirely on vibes, not logic. I think someone may have told him about the futurist manifesto at some point, and he just sort of liked the general vibe, which is why he paraphrases a part of it. Maybe he learned something about Marinetti and forgot it. Maybe he didn’t care.
I really believe that when you get as rich as some of these guys are, you can just do things that seem like thinking and no one is really going to correct you or tell you things you don’t want to hear. For many of these billionaires, the vibes of fascism, authoritarianism, and colonialism are attractive because they’re fundamentally about creating a fantasy of control."

The Real ID Act is such bureaucratic theater that I'm tempted to start a 501(c)(3) religious org for address verification services.
Form synagogue with UPS Store address, Lambda generates certificates, DMV accepts as "proof of residence", surplus to GiveWell.
Churches already do this for homeless folks, proving the system never verified "residence" - just mail delivery.
Spite-driven bureaucratic arbitrage for good?

The two most recent episodes of #BioUnethical with David Thorstad, Emily Largent, and @GovindPersad were very (very!) good.
Hosts Leah Pierson and Sophie Gibert may be doing reflective discussion better than anyone — outstanding stage setting, questioning, improvising, etc.

En tiedä, millä perusteilla tuollaisia hankkeita on missäkin kritisoitu, eikä itselläni ole vielä kantaa niihin.
Hyvän tekeminen missä vain on arvokasta, vaikka sitten rahalla, mutta uusi maailmantilanne Trumppeineen sun muineen sekoittaa päätä, joka ei muutenkaan osaa hyvin laskea (cf. cognitive biases). En tahtoisi niukasta toimeentulosta lahjoittamalla lahjoittaa pelkästään omalletunnolleni tai kuvittelemalleni tulevaisuudelle.
