Sadly, not only it exists, but it's the philosophical underpinning behind the current Fascist takeover of the USA.

Huh, that's interesting, reading the wikipedia page, it didn't even seem that terrible, I don't really understand how "effective altruism" and "hyper-utilitarianism" can lead you to that

Wikipedia by default tries to stay neutral. There's plenty of articles to read about Eliezer Yudkowsky and LessWrong and his influence in Fascists and Grifters. There's even a whole comm making fun of them: !sneerclub@awful.systems
