My own experience is the opposite of this. I feel like I would have been a significantly worse person without the influence of EA ideology. https://twitter.com/nickcammarata/status/1725958636529480155

So where has it gone wrong in your eyes? The message is nice, but in practice it doesn’t seem to work. Might be human nature à la socialism. They were happy to take money from someone (iirc they knew?) who was fraudulent under SBF, and are meddling where they don’t belong at OpenAI.

In the case of SBF, he made it clear in private that his public stance on ethics was a shibboleth used to please woke westerners and attract investment. He had a mental 2x2 matrix of clean/shady and win/lose, and anything other than shady ∩ lose was acceptable to him.
