Thanks for sharing, Teddy. Just read the SBF piece and looking forward to reading more.
EA is great, but I think it could use more and better external scrutiny. A lot of the criticism it gets right now is either silly (e.g., “this is just a way to make billionaires more powerful”) or not especially helpful (e.g., “utilitarianism is obviously false”). Engagement that takes EA seriously but keeps a critical distance and isn’t afraid to question the big players is really valuable IMO.
