AI safety movement's ties to EA, SBF and Zizians called a PR liability amid Anthropic watchdog report

Quoting a NY Post report on Dario Amodei's handpicked AI watchdog's deep ties to the Effective Altruism movement — which critics call 'a complete joke.'
Quote-tweeter @venturetwins laments that people who genuinely care about AI safety are hurt by the movement's entanglement with EAs and rationalists: it's hard to take the cause seriously when these groups are publicly tied to SBF, polyamory, Harry Potter fanfic, and a murder cult (the Zizians).
A snapshot of the ongoing argument that AI safety's public narrative is being dragged down by its community culture.
