@bjornrust @timnitGebru I'm very confused. It all feels like novlang to me. Isn't AI safety about looking at bias and privacy issues, explainable AI and interpretability? I never heard about effective altruism before and I'm not sure I get what it is. But why solve hypothetical future problems if we don't solve current ones.

@miaanastacio @timnitGebru I should also add that solving hypothetical future problems is a characteristic that might be attributed to Longtermism, which is a cause area of EA, but not necessarily a characteristic of EA as a whole.

@bjornrust @miaanastacio Peter Singer is the "father" of effective altruism & also advocates for infanticide of disabled people. To really understand EA, you don't go to the privileged white men who created it while talking about "saving" the rest of us, you go to the groups who've been negatively impacted by what they've been doing, like the women who've experienced sexual assault & have discussed the disturbing predatory behaviors of the cult, among many other issues we haven't even scratched.

@timnitGebru @bjornrust @miaanastacio Effective altruism is one of the most vile depraved warped concepts I have ever had the displeasure of discovering. I hope it heads off into the historical past like Eugenics and Craniology. While I am at it I hope it takes a few of these elitist pissant oligarchs with it.
