NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-09-18
Nathan Young argues that after FTX's collapse, core EA adopted a "PR mentality" that failed on its own terms and corroded EA's soul. William MacAskill responded that changing this wouldn't be the key move he'd make if starting from 2014, noting "Nate and Yud seem to be doing fine." A brief but notable exchange on EA community strategy and culture.
