This is where I betray how out of the loop I am on this, I suppose. Last I heard from MacAskill was like a decade ago on Sam Harris's podcast, where he seemed to basically just be an acolyte of Singer, making the whole "would you ruin your suit to save a drowning child" argument.
Guess this is why people don't like utilitarianism, it sure lets you make some silly arguments.
