Just jumping in to say I know both Stijn and Remmelt, so can confirm they’ve been heavily involved in EA (Stijn still is, Remmelt I’m not so sure, but he definitely co-founded EA Netherlands — I last spoke with him in 2024).
From what I know, Remmelt was (is?) heavily involved in StopAI.
I don’t want to speak for them but I’m pretty sure they’d both strongly oppose violent acts. Remmelt did so on Twitter here.
I’m not endorsing the rest of your claims in the post, just wanted to corroborate this specific part.
I assume everyone who has donated to Stop AI, supported it, or been involved was shocked and horrified by Sam Kirchner’s threats to murder people. I can’t imagine anyone supported that.
Nothing I said was intended to imply that anyone who has supported Stop AI supported Sam Kirchner’s threats. It was just to establish that there is a meaningful connection between Stop AI and EA — that Stop AI is “in EA’s orbit”.
