OpenAI's Joshua Achiam argues Effective Altruism's political strategy risks damaging AI safety by making it a divisive issue

Peter, I'm a little surprised by this remark, because 1) I should hope it's clear that my opinions are my own, distinct from other beliefs at OpenAI, 2) I've been consistent in publicly talking about extreme risks (including existential risks) from AI for years, and I am not an enemy of safety, and 3) I've been making the point that EA runs the risk of ruining important causes by association through poorly-judged political power moves for years.
