AI watchdog independence and the debate over Effective Altruism

The New York Post reports deep ties between Effective Altruism and the AI watchdog handpicked by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, describing the movement as “woke.” One commenter argues that the problem is a lack of independence and shared ideology with Anthropic—not “wokeness.” Another criticizes AI safety’s ties to the movement but argues that people’s sex lives are irrelevant and attacks on one group won’t address the dangers of current and near-future AI.
