Some people think FTX not collapsing would’ve been on net worse for EA than FTX collapsing, cuz not collapsing would’ve led to such a grifter problem. You can find people who saw early signs of people just getting into it cuz of the free flow of money.
I’m pretty prepared to be worried about this, if we get another couple foundations out of Anthropic alums it could be FTX all over again (without the gambling, which makes it better. But with the AI race accelerant, which makes it worse).
love this. Don’t understand what you mean by “with the AI race accelerant which makes it worse” means? Do you mean EA could be compromised by taking money made from a potentially dangerous company? or something else?

AI race accelerant → shorter timelines → riskier for everyone (not just EA) was my read.
