Search \\u201ceffective altruism\\u201d on social media right now, and it\\u2019s pretty grim.

Socialists think we\\u2019re sociopathic Randroid money-obsessed Silicon Valley hypercapitalists.

The right thinks we\\u2019re all woke SJW extremists.

But the left thinks we\\u2019re all fascist white supremacists.

But the pro-AI people think we want to ban all AI research forever and nationalize all tech companies.
