许多AI领袖已将矛头指向有效利他主义。彼得·蒂尔本人并非该运动的支持者，但他认为该运动在"一件大事上"是对的。
Many AI leaders have turned their ire to effective altruism. Peter Thiel isn't a fan himself, but he thinks the movement got "one big thing" right.
蒂尔在即将推出的播客《建设者》中接受了沃尔特·艾萨克森的采访。
Thiel spoke to Walter Isaacson on his forthcoming podcast, "The Builders."
在一段独家分享给《商业内幕》的片段中，蒂尔将有效利他主义比作邪教——但表示追随者在早期AI预测上是正确的。"
In a clip shared exclusively with Business Insider, Thiel compared effective altruism to a cult — but said that followers were right in their early AI predictions.
它或许具有邪教的良性维度，即他们知道一件别人不知道的大事，"蒂尔说道。
"It had maybe the good dimension of a cult, where there was one big thing they knew that the other people did not," Thiel said.
有效利他主义者主张运用证据和理性来决定如何最好地利用金钱和职业造福人类。
Effective altruists believe in using evidence and reason to pick how best to use their money and careers to benefit humanity.
虽然该运动曾由FTX创始人、已定罪的欺诈者山姆·班克曼-弗里德所代表，但随着对AI安全的呼吁，它已获得新的含义。
While the movement was once personified by FTX founder and convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, it has taken on new meaning with the calls for AI safety.
在播客中，蒂尔表示，过去有效利他主义者的AI理论比人们预期的更接近现实。
On the podcast, Thiel said that the AI theories of past effective altruists were closer to reality than one might expect.
在"AI荒漠"时期——当时技术被过度承诺却从未完全开发——这些未来学家相信它终将到来。
In the midst of an "AI desert," when the technology was overpromised but never fully developed, these futurists believed it would come, he said.
有效利他主义者预测这将是一件"极具社会变革意义的事"，且"可能被武器化"。
The effective altruists predicted that it would be an "enormously socially transformative thing," Thiel said, and that "it could be weaponized."
蒂尔还将有效利他主义与AI巨头Anthropic联系起来。"
Thiel also linked effective altruism to the AI giant Anthropic.
一家十亿美元的公司似乎超出了疯狂邪教所能建立的规模，"蒂尔说。"邪教曾做成过这种事吗？"
"A billion-dollar company seems bigger than a crazed cult could build," Thiel said. "Has a cult ever done something like that?"
Anthropic联合创始人达里奥和丹妮拉·阿莫代伊都有过有效利他主义背景，尽管两人目前均不认同该头衔。
Anthropic cofounders Dario and Daniela Amodei both have histories with effective altruism, though neither currently identify with the title.
《金融时报》报道，超过60名Anthropic现任和前任员工承诺捐出部分收入。蒂尔对有效利他主义者进行了深度批评。
The Financial Times reported that more than 60 current and former Anthropic employees pledged to donate part of their income. Thiel was deeply critical of effective altruists.
他说这是他的论证策略：他试图通过指出他们在一件大事上是对的来"钢人化"他们。艾萨克森请他澄清究竟是哪一件事。" AI，"蒂尔说。" AI就在拐角处。"
This was his argumentation strategy, he said: he was trying to "steel-man" them by pointing out one big thing they got right. Isaacson asked him to clarify exactly what the one thing was. "AI," Thiel said. "AI is around the corner."
