e/acc leader Beff Jezos amplifies an Effort investigation alleging Effective Altruism donors bought media to fearmonger about AI. The Guardian's AI 2027 piece allegedly had all 6 participants paid by the same donor circle: Coefficient Giving gave The Guardian $3M+ and paid the reporter's salary via the Tarbell Fellowship, while subject Kokotajlo's AI 2027 received $400K from Coefficient plus $2M from SFF — none disclosed.
