      This is the problem I was originally commenting on; also, by implication: nerd attempts to “save the world”.

      this is a good deep dive into the "save the world, simplistically" phenomenon http://www.vox.com/2015/8/10/9124145/effective-altruism-global-ai?0p19G=c …

      for completeness here's a response to the main concern of that vox article (AI risk) http://effective-altruism.com/ea/m4/a_response_to_matthews_on_ai_risk/ …

      I can’t tell if that author does/doesn’t believe AI risk more important than poverty.

      The naive/simplistic thing is to say, "You're crazy that AI could rival poverty in importance." That's naive.

      spending all available charitable donations on AI risk is problematic because of Pascal's Mugging.

      Is EA leadership proposing spending all charitable donations on AI risk?

      It doesn't look like there is "leadership" but a number of people openly say so, including in the article.

      see the last survey: http://effective-altruism.com/ea/zw/the_2015_survey_of_effective_altruists_results/ … tl;dr most popular cause is poverty, top charities are AMF/SCI/GD

      there *is* a small bias favoring AI risk, but articles like the vox one make it seem like it's a majority

          Still, doesn't seem representative of technologists at large. Seems like you're speaking about a vocal faction.

          I believe it's a surprising number of people, but not close to a majority.

          vocal faction can still dominate discussions and make more nuanced discussions difficult.

          thanks for the conversation and sorry if it started off caustic. And yes, yes it is.

          We're using Rails 4 now with Spine.js on the frontend. Imagine the fun of that. :)

          And to be fair, I have to consider React/Redux too, though I suspect that's like building a piecemeal Node app with Express and Co.
