Fully subscribed to @pluralistic's closing remark about the deceitful and futile religion war between the #effective_altruism church and the #eacc cult, both profiting from a ridicolous #AI mysticism and "treating humans as things" (present time, meat and bone humans at least):
"It's because I'm a materialist that my primary concerns about AI are things like the climate impact of AI data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems – not science fiction-inspired, self-induced panics over the human race being enslaved by our robot overlords."

>"#Effective_altruism is a philosophy that aims to do as much good as possible," explains Brian Berkey, associate professor of legal studies and business ethics at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, US. "It's how to help ensure people's time and resources are spent well in making the world a better place. Through empirical evidence, individuals can make more informed decisions over which charitable causes to support."
