A satirical post titled 'A Modest Proposal: Why Vegans Should Start Factory Farms' on the EA Forum sparked debate regarding ethical theories of change. Comments noted that while the post is parody, the underlying logic isn't entirely laughable. Discussion also touched on Anthropic's behavior, suggesting the company aggressively lobbies against regulation while claiming fear of its own products' value, and pushing the frontier to attract investment, which resembles tactics of an 'evil company'.
