Beff Jezos Memes Thanos as the 'Final Form' of Effective Altruism

Extropic founder Guillaume Verdon (@beffjezos) quote-tweeted @isOwenLewis's post arguing Thanos is essentially an Effective Altruist, adding the quip 'The final form of the EAs if given power.' The cited post maps Thanos's logic to EA-style reasoning: mass death now to reduce future suffering, only I will do what must be done, mercy is weakness, and a random snap is 'fair.' A playful jab in the ongoing e/acc vs EA culture feud in the AI community.
