It seems objectively better for some people to have access to money -- in this case the GiveWell founder. He's done great work there and now he's helping OpenAI all via a Facebook founder's billions.
- rspeer 10y ago"It seems objectively better for some people to have access to money" is classism in one sentence. And I won't give people a pass because of the thing they co-founded and then forked. I can appreciate Wikipedia and believe that Larry Sanger's fork of it was dumb. I can appreciate GiveWell and think that Open Philantropy is corrupt.
- engx 10y agoAnd your suggestion about classism is moral relativism. Who is corrupt? The guy giving away $8 billion or the one who founded GiveWell? And one of their focuses is criminal justice reform and trying to improve prison conditions. If you want to look at something truly corrupt, look at the criminal justice system in the U.S.
