It's important to note that the author is a well-known effective altruist who firmly believes that AI catastrophe _is_ coming and tweets about this quite a bit. Quite honestly, I find it odd (or perhaps telling) that Vox just provides a platform for EA to report on EA-related topics with only minor disclaimers that the author is, in fact, a well-known EA.

Sorry -- why do we need to provide disclaimers as to authors' philosophical leanings? Or is it just this particular philosophy that you think needs to be noted?

Is it a philosophical leaning, or a disclosure of participation in a scam rivaling Maddoff? Post-FTX, Effective Altruism is effectively dead.
