The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is facing an internal crisis as staff members and scientists have threatened to resign over the anticipated appointment of Paul Christiano to a crucial, though non-political, position at the agency’s newly-formed US AI Safety Institute (AISI), according to at least two sources with direct knowledge of the situation, who asked to remain anonymous.https://venturebeat.com/ai/nist-staffers-revolt-against-potential-appointment-of-effective-altruist-ai-researcher-to-us-ai-safety-institute/

#AIDoomer cultists are ludicrous, but I'm looking forward to a "Warriors" style showdown between the messianic #EffectiveAltruist and Xtian fundies in DC. They are both into different styles of mutually exclusionary kink. It could be delicious.

"The #EffectiveAltruist movement has had a terrible year. Its most prominent member, #SamBankmanFried was just found guilty of all 7 charges against him. But the FTX fiaso wasn't the only scandal that rocked EA.."

I've said it before but I guess I need to keep saying it: Any discussion of #LongTermism needs to be very clear that the "future people" are entirely hypothetical, & the probability of their existence in most contemporary #Longtermist scenarios is astronomically improbable.
Similar caveats apply for all the #effectivealtruist arguments I've heard - & in general needs to be applied whenever you're looking at #utilitarianism, as well.

TIL that Sean McElwee, the now disgraced Democratic pollster and think tanker, is an EA (#EffectiveAltruist) https://wapo.st/40C1dzP
I just wrote an article for #EffectiveAltruism forum about the work @trans_rescue is doing to help at-risk LGBTQ+ people of all sorts escape Uganda. I had the opportunity to talk with @AnneOgborn about what's needed to safely transport someone out of Uganda and help them get settled and on their feet in their new country, so if you're curious about Trans Rescue's work, it may be worth a read.
For any #EffectiveAltruist folks here on Mastodon, my takeaway was that, because Trans Rescue was in the right place at the right time with existing expertise and resources to help LGBTQ+ people in East Africa, they're able to do this important work very cost effectively.
Mastodon has been feeling kinda dead lately. Each week for the last few months I use it less and less. Why? I don't know. Perhaps the difficulty of finding engaging sub communities?
