Thanks for your estimates! I’m also sorry if I appeared confrontational, but upon reflection I appreciate the pushback!
Taking a step back, isn’t this all a bit weird? Given that there’s going to only be a projected 10-25 fellows, and that a CEO of a billion-dollar trading firm is personally spending time to evaluate applications, I really don’t think it makes sense, taking the broad view, for people who get the offer to decide not to go due to financial costs.
But of course that’s the “view from above”, and individual EAs may be substantially liquidity or otherwise constrained. Hopefully this will not deter people from applying, and accepted fellows can provide feedback on whether they think the location would be a financial hardship, and I’m optimistic that either FTX or the rest of the EA movement can figure this out.
