Linking to a grab-bag of random claims by people with their own axes to grind is not terribly convincing or conducive to productive discussion. Do you think EA people haven't saved as many lives as they claim (just in the here and now, disregarding the minority of funding going to speculative future causes), or that this is not as important as they claim?

I linked to a number of critiques of EA and of utilitarianism.

I’m not super interested in debating the specifics of it, I am just highly skeptical of movements that place abstract formulas at the center, especially ones that have extensive funding from ethically dubious characters.

That’s all I have to say about it. Better critiques are listed in the links I shared.

EA is ethically and morally bankrupt. SBF is no accident, he's the ideal poster child for the whole movement.
