Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

the specific people are all (with the exception of Sam Altmann) grifters. they are

guy whose sub imploded at the titanic
2 Sam Altman, head of OpenAI (which went from charity to a wing of Microsoft).
Sam Bankman Freid's brother, who was talking about buying an island to carry "effective altruists" through an extinction-level event.

It pisses me off that these are the first EA adjacent people that are broadly well-known, rather than Givewell and 80,000 hours, who are actually doing good work.

EA is entirely a scam.

Nah, EA is alright if done properly. The "Longtermism" aspect is pure bullshit though.

EA is just PR. It's a way to get rich while pretending to do good.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

EA is primarily advice for people with moderate amounts of disposable income (i.e. middle class), or people trying to figure out their career trajectory. Earn to give is very much a minority position, and that's pretty much the only one that at all involves aiming to be rich.

Longtermism is mostly a weird set of academics. the recent folks using it as a pretext to buy houses in the Caribbean are almost purely a group of cryptobros using it as a way to ethics-wash their pump and dump.

Sounds like you're still learning. There are assumptions baked into that, which only support the elite.
