Criticizing EA is not a personal attack it's an observation of the outcomes associated with the ideology.

I'm sorry if it was flamebait.

The person in your comment was not EA.

There's always a way to make your substantive points thoughtfully, though of course this takes more time and energy - sometimes a lot more - but if you'd please invest the effort to do that when commenting here, we'd appreciate it. Or, of course, it's always an option not to post.

Claiming he's not an Effective Altruist is a stretch. He's been tightly coupled with that movement for nearly a decade.

		It's good he is getting it out in the public, on record. He'll lie, conveniently ignore techno fascist astroturfing, selectively moderate on hot topic issues and then point to some wabisabi philosophy on both sideism. The majority of top threads on hn on any given days are legit flame wars and llm accusation mud slinging. But you cant say Dario Amodei is an effective altruist. Incredible.
