If I had more time and energy I’d probably make some more evidenced claims about Meta issues, and how things like SBF, sexual misconduct cases or Nonlinear could have been helped with more of #2 than #1 but don’t have the time or energy (I’m also less sure about this claim).
At the risk of saying the obvious, literally every single person at Alameda and FTX’s inner circle worked in large corporations in the for-profit sector out of college and before Alameda/FTX. (SBF: Jane Street, Gary Wang: Google, Caroline Ellison: Jane Street, Nishad Singh: Facebook/Meta). It wasn’t 5 whole years though, so maybe that made a difference? But they also joined a for-profit company pretty quickly, rather than working at EA nonprofits.
(though you said you were less sure about this claim, and I don’t want to harp on it)
I wasn’t clear. I was actually pointing to an intuition I have that SBF ‘got away with it’ by taking advantage of EAs unusually high levels of contentiousness.
