I think this is very hard to predict, and I just feel uncertain. Public perception seems to be really fickle, and I could imagine each show being either:
Negative towards SBF/Caroline and negative towards EA (it’s all tech bros feeling superior, e.g. here)
Negative towards SBF/Caroline and positive towards EA (they used ethics as “mostly a front” and only cared about winning)
Positive towards SBF/Caroline, and negative towards EA (they started as idealistic altruists and got corrupted by the toxic EA ideology)
Positive towards SBF/Caroline, and positive towards EA (e.g. making John J. Ray III and Sullivan and Cromwell the villains)
And for each of these 4, it’s not clear what the impact on EA would be, e.g. I think “The Wolf of Wall Street” probably got many people excited about working in finance.
I predict the documentaries will be negative towards EA, as was the vast majority of media on EA in 2023 and 2024, and I think documentaries tend to be mostly negative about their subject, but I’m much more unsure about the fiction series
