Effective altruists would risk the 10% chance of making thousands of clients lose all their money if it gives them a 50% chance of donating more to charity late

Effective altruists would risk the 10% chance of making thousands of clients lose all their money if it gives them a 50% chance of donating more to charity later. Since it makes sense according to their utility function. That’s what we learned from the FTX debacle. Sort of reminds me of the paper clip manufacturer A.I. who ends up killing all humans due to a broken utility function.
- metta2uall 4y agoThat's an over-generalization... I would think most effective altruists recognise that acting unethically by for example, risking client money, is not justified due to the long-term damage that causes. Big lies usually get found out. Most effective altruists are outraged at what SBF apparently did..
