If saying she’s a Harry Potter fan is a “micro-aggresssion” what do you call her stealing $95 million from public school teachers in Ontario? What a ridiculous thing to be offended by.
For strange reasons, the archive link to that very interesting story was flagged yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33554271

and is now on the front page twice. Flaggers had it right as is usually the case.
For anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the atmosphere, it's good to know that in the series B round, they raised $420.69m from 69 investors. https://blockworks.co/news/sam-bankman-frieds-ftx-raises-pre... I don't know what those numbers mean, but those investors probably thought it was the funniest thing on earth, and they created history.
Can anyone explain what is special about this number?

Wow, I'm really surprised. Of all the people who could make anti-intellectual statements, I really thought SBF was one of the last. I get that many books these days are long winded (looking at you Nassim Taleb) ways to make a point, but someone absolutely needs to document all the thinking somewhere. Whether you read the whole book in detail is also optional. But to generalize this much about all books is astonishing…
Being an effective altruist doesn't make someone an intellectual. They teach the boy-in-pond thought experiment the first week of any college elective ethics class.

Locking yourself into a myopic utilitarianism that avoids all structural critiques seems roughly the opposite of an open intellectual perspective.
