Sentiment
Positive users back Beff Jezos's claim that Effective Altruism is virtue signaling for power because it exposes manipulative tactics, while negative users reject the description as inaccurate or overly cynical toward genuine altruism.

@beffjezos It’s the base secular os. It always seeks its own glory and law bc the “self” is king, not God. Icarus, babel, frankestein… cyclical pride and hubris. Misplaced faith in corruptible man.

@beffjezos no i think that's actually just generally caring about people (sorry to attack your metaphor)

@beffjezos A lot of them don’t seem to realize that’s what they’re craving (“no you don’t understand, we want to save the world super effectively”) , but that’s exactly right.

@beffjezos I want to see genuine altruism what I see is threats to innocent people of controls they never violated and intent they never had. That's not due process and that's not rule of law. The nature of being wealthy does not mean you were elected, a product is not rulership.

@beffjezos No it isn’t. Virtually everything you say is the opposite of the truth. It’s almost impressive

@beffjezos Indeed, what a strange juxtaposition. Altruism can always be bought to warp public perception.

@beffjezos Exactly why I don't need power, you people have no idea a gift when you receive one, that's the main issue I face, I could be of enormous benefit if people would even entertain my ideas, but they don't, because they only see the flesh, and not the spirit.

@beffjezos They are much worse. They are an Epstein Network project (and loosely speaking so are you)

@beffjezos It’s obvious that Fable’s prime objective is to model the end-user for the purpose of nudging and steering the end-user, silently.
Textbook EA.
