Metz cares about access to SV sources, probably. I'll quote Nostalgebraist[0]:
> The journalist also written a soon-to-be-published book about AI work at “Google, Microsoft, Facebook and OpenAI,” whose blurb makes it sound impressed with its subjects, and also touts his “exclusive access to each of these companies.” So, this is someone whose career depends on being in the good graces of the big-name Silicon Valley crowd, and presumably cares a lot whether e.g. Paul Graham is mad at him.
I don't think you can do the sort of work Cade Metz wants to do if the first thing anyone from OpenAI thinks of when you write to them is "oh, it's that asshole that doxed Scott Alexander".
