Effective Altruism is a charity / social club / networking opportunity for young STEM types based on pretty extreme beliefs about Utilitarianism and recently AI. The most famous EA right now is probably SBF.
Accelerationism is the belief that we should race towards catastrophe so that we can rebuild society in a better way.
E / Acc is a (sometimes ironic) amalgam of the two.
You won't be surprised to learn that not many in these groups have studied history.
It's a twitter thing, that was picked up by the more twitter brained VCs.
Mostly an AI thing originally I think? (I'm addicted to the site, but don't follow the d list celeb drama lol.)
Stands for effective accelerationism, more or less what you read in this Manifesto (Marc Andresson said he identified it a while ago too so makes sense.)
