I would have agreed pre-FTX. In my view, EA actors meaningfully contributed—in a causal sense—to the rise of SBF, which generated significant widespread harm. Given the size and lifespan of EA, that is enough for a presumption of sufficient risk of future external harm for standing. There were just too many linkages and influences, several of them but-for causes.
EA has a considerable appetite for risk and little of what some commenter are dismissing as “bureaucracy,” which increases the odds of other harms felt externally. So the presumption is not rebutted in my book.
