Investing Public Pensions in Fossil Fuel and AI Companies Is More Than Amoral – It’s Bad Business | "The interests of public workers and these companies dangerously diverge, but even the one area of alignment is fraught: secure return on investment."
Investing Public Pensions in Fossil Fuel and AI Companies Is More Than Amoral – It’s Bad Business

You’re on social media, so this should concern you.
The U.S. government has been asking platforms like Meta for user data.
You don’t have to be paranoid to see the problem. You just have to be paying attention. If you’re online, this includes you.

I'm not remotely in the same camp as effective altruists. The fact that they call themselves "left" is irrelevant. I'm as far away from them as any rightwing extremist. But these cults here are more dangerous in the way they infiltrate various spaces and gain legitimacy.

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

And the world is still spinning.
Which means we can arrest them all and the world will still spin.
