@MLInnovations@StevenShattuck Fwiw, I totally think EAs would see that those things matter. Everything matters for its goals, right? We're in a world where we don't have infinite resources tho. For saving lives, some charities will be better placed. Diff ones for giving comfort, etc. Its ok to name goals.
@carolinefiennes@newscientist I have the same reaction sometimes (re: favelas and AI), but wonder, would we have said the same about favelas and eg. early nuclear safety work?
@Rhodri_H_Davies I'm rly interested in this thread, in social justice and overlapping social change movements, incl ea, & in critiques. Sincere q - is this excerpt the critique? Seems to describe/support ea?
