I donât think we should give too much information value to SBFâs interviews, considering his track record and his writing that ethics was mostly a front to build his reputation.
It might be useful to note that from the context of the Kelsey Piper interview, âethicsâ might have referred to the ethics of ârule-following/âdeontologyâ (also noted here: https://ââforum.effectivealtruism.org/ââposts/ââvjyWBnCmXjErAN6sZ/ââkelsey-piper-s-recent-interview-of-sbf?commentId=ZqbYkJrmeRNnmaoio). The part where he sounds like heâs talking about EA (he doesnât mention EA directly in the video) would be consistent with that particular interpretation of âethics was mostly a frontâ.
