I strongly disagree with sharing this outside rationalist/EA circles, especially if people don’t know much about AI safety or x risk. I think this could drastically shift someone’s opinion on Effective Altruism if they’re new to the idea.

I didn’t actually downvote, but I did consider it, because I dislike PR-criticism of people for for disclosing true widely-available information in the process of performing a useful service.

I think it makes sense to downvote if one thinks:
The comment should be less visible.
It would have been better for the comment not to have been published.

This article was published in TIME, which has a print readership of 1.6 million
The article doesn’t even use the words “effective altruism”
These non-EAs were open to the ideas raised by the article
Value of information seems to exceed the potential damage done at these sample sizes for me.

Thanks! It’s okay. This is a very touchy subject and I wrote a strongly opinionated piece so I’m not surprised. I appreciate it.
