I don’t follow crypto, and have not been anywhere near these large sums of money that are supposedly now available in the world of effective altruism and AI safety. But I keep hearing that SBF has become the biggest individual patron of EA, and now it sounds like his main business enterprise went broke and was sold to a rival. So my working hypothesis is that there won’t be any more donations from him for a long time.

EA forum seems to think it’s bad news.
