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

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.

Effective Altruism Is a Welter of Fraud, Lies, Exploitation and Eugenic Fantasies

Free long-form Truthdig critique of effective altruism and longtermism, tracing the movement's funding, scandals and eugenic intellectual roots.

From the site: The multibillion-dollar Effective Altruism movement makes rich people feel good about being rich — to hell with the bad publicity.

Why I recommend it: Pointed and openly hostile to its subject. Read it next to the movement's own writing so you can judge which claims are documented and which are argument.
