Well, they’re not claiming the moral high ground; they can consistently say that EA has been net negative, and been net negative themselves for human survival.
Yeah IIRC I think EY do consider himself to have been net-negative overall so far, hence the whole “death with dignity” spiral. But I don’t think one can claim his role has been more negative than OPP/GV deciding to bankroll OpenAI and Anthropic (at least when removing the indirect consequences due to him having influenced the development of EA in the first place).
