A Politico article covering effective altruism was published in late 2023. The article focused on how influential effective altruism supporters had become in Washington, DC:

The article also stated that effective accelerationists and open-source advocates were frustrated and were formulating plans to "fight back." Will a political spectrum form in 2024 between these two movements?
On December 31, 2024, I will post a one-week Manifold poll closing January 7, 2025 with the following question:
"Are effective altruism and effective accelerationism political movements?"
The answers will be BOTH, EA, E/Acc, NEITHER, and NO OPINION. This market will resolve to YES if the plurality answer is BOTH, excluding NO OPINION from determining which option achieved a plurality. Otherwise, the market will resolve to NO.
I may post a similar poll early in 2024 to get a baseline, but that poll is not relevant to the market.
If either movement is replaced by a movement with the same goals as a direct successor, the name of the largest successor will be used instead. If one of the movements changes its name, that name will be used instead in the poll.

The BOTH option in this poll lost, with only five votes, compared to NEITHER, which had nine. Therefore, the resolution is NO.
