Where is the companies or skills from here? I see a list of made up foundations or "centers" doing 0 valueable things

Why do we need some moral superior person from some university to "think about safey and OpenAI" and not find it out ourselves?

What a clown company

also

Yeah, at least SBF managed to spin up a $20 billion dollar ponzi scheme.

Sure, it's incredibly psychopathic, but it's still an achievement!

I'm with you on the overall read of her resume, but "believes in <principal> that <bad person> believes in" isn't fair criticism.

They were both on the board for the Centre for Effective Altruism.

How are you finding it out by [yourself]?

Did you find out e.g. Facebook will do the damage that it did and continues to do in social terms?

Have you done anything or has Facebook changed its way based on your ‘findings’?

The choice here is: does capital coupled with runaway egos provide better stewardship of socially impactful technology development or paper pushers or CIA plants?

I agree, but it's a difference believing in a concept vs engaging with persons in that same area. and together with everything else, that just seem to be half political organizations to farm funding from governments or ESG VCs, it doesn't look very good to me

She just sounds like a typical Silicon Valley trend grifter

At least she wasn't a vegetarian. Hitler was a vegetarian. That would have been the final nail in the coffin

FTX wasn't a Ponzi scheme per se. SBF committed fraud by saying they had risk controls in place when they had an exemption for his hedge fund: Alameda Research. FTX could be viable if it let Alameda fail.

the question is more , did she go to "world vegetarian meetup" every week where Hitler also was and took selfies

anyhow , I still don't see what the impressive things is by working at all those fake companies/think tanks not doing real work

Alameda played a significant role in propping up the value of FTX through their investment in FTT. Worth questioning how much FTX would have been worth if it hadn't been for various tricks like this.
