Estus for the rest of us
Timnit Gebru (she/her).The Center for Effective Altruism has bought this castle, as one obviously does need one to be both effective and altruistic. Saw on twitter via @xriskology
Sam Wade@timnitGebru Also central.
@samuel_wade Ah yes I forgot that point.
@timnitGebru Roko’s basilisk is gonna be SO MAD AT YOU for that.

Bynkii@timnitGebru no fun being in charge sans castle. How else do the peasants know who’s in charge?
Sara Morrison@timnitGebru @xriskology big Scientology Celebrity Center vibes

Is that a joke? It feels like it should be a joke. But all the real things that have happened feel like jokes. So I can't tell anymore.

@douglascodes @xriskology not a joke. It’s true that they’ve bought this castle.
Ruben van de Vijver@timnitGebru @xriskology to be truly effective altruists, they need to donate their little abode to me.
Doug Webb@timnitGebru @xriskology can you share source? I couldn't find one.
You might be surprised how cheap such places can work out on a per room basis...
annuWka@timnitGebru @xriskology so they bought their X-mansion? I see.
Bogdan Kulynych 🇺🇦@timnitGebru @xriskology But hear me out. Buying a castle in fact serves the long-term betterment of the human condition... (1/n)
@hidden @xriskology
😂 😂 😂
literally the longtermists any time I say something
Lukas Orsvärn@timnitGebru do you have a more reliable source than this person on Twitter? I can’t find anything about this online.
@timnitGebru oh, a quick look at your feed reveals that you are actively against the effective altruism movement. Never mind.
Hey @profcarroll, you boosted this, can you find a better source on this information than "a person on Twitter said so"?

@timnitGebru @xriskology they're speedrunning feudalism from first principles.
costrike@timnitGebru @xriskology Doing effective altruism without a castle was one considered nigh impossible. Upon further review, the "nigh" was removed.
