I’ll look at this properly later but just wanted to confirm that I got it wrong about WelcomeFest. I’d read a tweet about Open Philanthropy sponsoring Abundance 2025 around the same time WelcomeFest was happening, and conflated the two due to having similar speakers and an explicit pro-abundance position.
Okay, yes, Open Philanthropy is listed as one of the sponsors of the Abundance 2025 conference that took place in Washington, D.C. in September. Is this a problem for any reason? Was there anything about that conference that was troubling or controversial? What’s the reputational risk, here?
