Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

"EA and Rationalist policy organizations are scaling in DC"
Just a reminder that the rationalists already own two event spaces in the Bay Area and the Effective Altruists briefly owned one in England and one in the Czech Republic as well as an institute at Oxford University. Both of their existing spaces are losing money and had to beg for it last winter.
"This project needs a champion, but it’s a thing someone can simply choose to do" sounds very different when it means "you can actually try slacklining with the cool strangers in the park" and when it means "someone could lend us another $20 million for 20 years on easy terms." And seeing the lesson of FTX as "don't look weird" not "effective altruists are fraudsters and hypocrites" is a take.
