not that realistically we had any control over SBF’s actions or identity as an EA
Agree little could be done then. But since then, I’ve noticed the community has an attitude of “Well I’ll just keep an eye out next time” or “I’ll be less trusting next time” or something. This is inadequate, we can do better.
I’m offering decision markets that will make it harder for frauds to go unnoticed, prioritizing crypto (still experimenting with criteria). But when I show EAs these, I’m kind of stunned by the lack of interest. As if their personal judgment is supposed to be less-corruptible at detecting fraud, than a prediction market. This has been very alarming for me to see.
But who knows—riffing off the post, maybe that just means prediction markets haven’t built up enough reputation for LW/EA to trust it.
