'EA-adjacent, 30th percentile' meme roasts Effective Altruism culture
Darpinian · x · 2026-11-02
A King of the Hill meme circulating in AI circles: Hank asks "are y'all with the Effective Altruists?" and gets the answer "we're more like EA-adjacent, maybe about 30th percentile? we have some disagreements about how precisely 'effectiveness' is measured..."—prompting him to drive off: "Yeah, this is it." A sharp jab at the EA/safety community's fondness for taxonomic hair-splitting.
