Effective Altruism's Bait-and-Switch: From Global Poverty to AI Doomerism

What it is

Techdirt opinion piece (April 2024) arguing the effective altruism movement shifted its money and attention from global poverty to AI existential risk.

Why I recommend it

Openly argumentative and from 2024. Effective altruists dispute this framing; see Holden Karnofsky's and Luke Muehlhauser's profiles for their side.
