Upvoted because it’s worth pointing out if people were hostile to suggestions the FTX wealth was unstable—that should be openly considered and discussed. However, crypto being a speculative bubble isn’t that related to SBF committing fraud, so I don’t give you much credit for predicting this.
Also isn’t anonymous donation kind of inimical to transparency? Seems like you’re openly suggesting the kind of reputation-crafting that you condemned in the New Yorker quote.
Yes, I don’t really care about getting credit for predicting this; I pointed out my previous post mainly to give credence to my suggestions. And based on the comments of other people, maybe anonymous donations or not the best, most feasible, nor most practical way to do things. But, given that EAs focus very much on catastrophic tail risks, it should be the case that we not become overly reliant on single donations or donations which generate such large conflicts of interest. I don’t know what system would be best.
