“Eugenicist” is a funny word because it can mean either that someone supports the rights of people to use gene editing technologies to make changes to their own bodies, or it can mean that someone supports genocide. These are really obviously not morally equivalent.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE Sam Harris speaks with @willmacaskill about the implosion of FTX and the effect that it has had on the Effective Altruism movement. bit.ly/3J2eKdD
Given an adequate appreciate of history, there is virtually no idea that has not been coopted for evil. There is selective perception of slope slipperiness - ideological motivations alone determine which slopes are slippy, and which ones are gritty.
hi here's me rambling about SBF's sentencing straight from court after sleeping on a pile of trash :)
In my latest post for @Forbes, I discuss Sam Bankman-Fried’s sentencing and what this means for the future of effective altruism. TLDR: EA is down, but not out. forbes.com/sites/jamesbro…

FTX Professional Fees Now Exceed $600mm. An unprecedented amount of fees for a case that the Debtors are effectively liquidating. In 15 months they have billed equivalent to >5% of Petition Date Liabilities. Most BK's have 3-5% fees over 5-10 years!

There are many more parsimonious explanations for this graph than a conspiracy to promote AI safety. Same for the veganism, individual charity, and organ donation in EA. One can change their mind, hedge their bets, or simply *care about multiple things*

“Eugenicist” is a funny word because it can mean either that someone supports the rights of people to use gene editing technologies to make changes to their own bodies, or it can mean that someone supports genocide. These are really obviously not morally equivalent.

--A sworn declaration filed by an S&C partner contains false statements. and finally, --Contrary to their statements, S&C was, in fact, primary outside counsel to FTX US, Ledger X and Emergent. These are some serious allegations.
--FTX has claims for malpractice against Sullivan & Cromwell worth hundreds of millions of dollars. --Former S&C partner Ryne Miller acted unethically in steering business (including the bankruptcy cases) to S&C. --FTX US was solvent and should not have filed for bankruptcy.
Well, I just finished reading the Declaration of Daniel Friedberg. It is fair to say that this is one of the more shocking sworn statements I have read in a good long while. If half of what Mr. Friedberg says is true, he has just blown the top off of this bankruptcy case.

@MakingSenseHQ @willmacaskill Very informative discussion gentleman, appreciate the grace given to the actors in the FTX situation and consideration of the common good intentions.
@sam_atis I think Reddit is a very specific distribution of people
@robbensinger I’d be particularly interested in claims after the FTX foundation launched - are you aware of this set of people making another attempt then?
@robbensinger My quick guess (likely to be wrong!) - There are really only a few people "on top" of EA. - This would have essentially been "these top people investigating each other, and documenting that for others in the community"
