They perhaps shouldnât be interviewed on popular EA podcasts like 80,000 Hours (as far as I can tell Moskovitz or Tuna have never been on)
I personally would be pretty interested to hear an interview with Moskovitz, Tuna, or Buterin and would feel sad if 80k felt prohibited from talking to them. I donât remember being that excited about Buterinâs 2019 interview (I recall it mostly being about block chain stuff which I wasnât that interested in), so I guess thatâs some sign that prohibiting interviews with him wouldnât cost that much, but Iâm interested to hear some of his answers to these questions.
I do expect on priors that there is a decent chance that Buterin will be revealed to have committed some type of serious misconduct, and if that does happen I wouldnât be surprised to see a headline like âyet another EA billionaire is a criminal.â A blanket prohibition on inviting him to the 80k podcast feels like throwing the baby out with the bath water though.
A thing that would update me here is evidence that engagement with a community/âset of ideas by billionaires is on expectation negative. My sense is that EAâs involvement with SBF was toward the tail of the distribution of how bad engagement with billionaires goes, but I could be wrong about that, and if it is closer to the median case then a blanket prohibition feels more warranted.
