See here's the problem. Getting distracted by the "spaceman bad" programming, while being robbed blind by media darlings like SBF. An actual fraud.

Musk is an actual fraud: https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/159330754193247436... Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. Note: You may have to refresh a couple times, because as Twitter slowly collapses und…
Effective altruism is just nonsense. Giving money "away" is so vague that it's obviously tax discounts. Away to whom? Will give money blindly really help solving problems or keeps them alive? A lot of questions pop up.
EA is notably less interested in answering "where should money come from" and "what impact does the manner in which I earn money have".

Related: SBF is still scheduled to speak at a NYT sponsored event. The media sure likes this guy for some reason! https://www.nytimes.com/events/dealbook-summit#speakers
Sequoia capital published this. That should be in the title. Without knowing that this was a real article published by real people at Sequoia a couple of months ago, this reads like a try-hard troll. No! It’s real! (Sequoia is like the Stanford of venture capital and is one of ftx’s biggest investors)
>Bailhe remembers it the same way: “We had a great meeting with Sam, but the last question, which I remember Alfred asking, was, ‘So, everything you’re building is great, but what is your long-term vision for FTX?’” >That’s when SBF told Sequoia about the so-called super-app: “I want FTX to be a place where you can do anything you want with your next dollar. You can buy bitcoin. You can send money in whatever currenc…
This whole saga, together with the Twitter and Meta shitshows have been exposing the Emperor for wearing no clothes. Turns out the rich and powerful of Silicon Valley aren't super smart and wise folks to be looked up to. They're just regular people, a lot of them ignorant, that got lucky. Enough with the pedestals.
