单集文稿 ...

  The effective altruism movement has been on a wild ride.

• 00:04

  Now.

• 00:05

  When I first engaged with it in the early 2010s,

• 00:08

  it seemed to be about how to give money to charity more effectively, how to do the most good.

• 00:13

  And that meant more money for things like anti malaria bed nets or deworming pills,

• 00:18

  things like that.

• 00:19

  But since then, effective altruism has evolved.

• 00:22

  It became about crazy and sometimes uncomfortable thought experiments.

• 00:27

  It became about the risk of AI wiping us out.

• 00:30

  It started shaping academic research agendas.

• 00:33

  It became the darling of Silicon Valley Tech Bros.

• 00:36

  Everything got a bit intense and arguably it went a bit wrong.

• 00:41

  Today we are going to talk about effective altruism.

• 00:44

  Does it make sense?
