These are the people who came up with Roko's Basilisk, Effective Altruism and spawned the Zizians. I think Robert Evans described them not as a cult but as a cult incubator, or something along those lines.

Effective altruism wasn't started by the Berkeley rationalists.

They have separate origins, but have come to overlap.
