But absolutely, and yet a big part of EAs seem to be pro-Altman! That was my point, I might not have been clear enough, thanks for calling this to attention
It’s what I’ve seen. Happy to be wrong. It’s an impression—I didn’t register in a notebook every time someone was supporting Altman, but I’ve read it quite a lot; just like you I can’t prove it.
I’m happy to be wrong—not sure downvoting me to hell will make the threats mentioned in my quick take go away though.
How specifically? Seems to me you could easily argue that SBF should make us more skeptical of charismatic leaders like Sam Altman.

What makes you think a big part of EAs are pro-Altman? My impressions is that this is not true, and I cannot come up with any concrete example.

I don’t feel like they are pro Altman in general, but not sure. Maybe in the past they were when OpenPhil funded OpenAI not sure.
