It should be noted this sort of thing started with "picking the charity that does the best job" and is now at "getting humanity to multiple planets to survive a catechism". They skipped all of the middle steps that could help anyone at all today.
I thought effective altruists were all about buying people's mosquito nets in Africa because it's more bang for your buck than buying people's groceries in North America?
No, Effective Altruism is often interpreted by tech CEOs as being more effective to not donate anything short term so they can use that monetly to get a shitton more money that they can theoretically do more good with later.
Except they never explain what the criteria are for starting to donate, so they keep amassing more weath. It's just used as a flimsy excuse to be greedy bastards.
Ah so they're bad at economics too. The donated money will have a higher growth rate than invested money, so it's more rational to donate early. Being poor is expensive!
Weird how much he’s obsessed with the Culture, except for all of the social permissiveness like being able to transition sex, and also utterly unwilling to use any of the vast resources at his disposal to create a post scarcity society instead of hoarding more and more for himself.
Trust me bro, money will be worthless soon bro, you don't need to make me give back the obscene amount of money I took for myself by exploiting the system bro
Part of his trite "I'm here to fix the world" ego trip he does to the upper classes, before promptly being given their investment money to destroy it some more.

No no, since it doesn’t matter, we should give all of ours to him so that his robots can safely dispose of it. Truly he is a living saint

Yeah, he's trying to convince others their money isn't important and should be use to buy xAI stock.

Sounds like Sunday school has become pretty hardcore, with cataclysmic catechisms!

Fuck the "effective altruism" cult. They're all selfish cunts that are too cowardly to admit it

Post scarcity for me, more scarcity for thee. That's how Start Track™ [thanks wife for thinking up the perfect bastardizatiob] works right?

He doesn't have money. So even if he gave away all his money he would still be worth a trillion.
