Community notes clash over claims Rose Garden Inn was bought with FTX money wired to CFAR
NathanpmYoung · x · 2026-09-25
Conflicting claims surfaced on X about the funding of the rationalist community's Rose Garden Inn: one note alleges the property was originally purchased with money wired to CFAR from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX as it collapsed, while Lightcone CEO Oliver Habryka denies any FTX money reached them. A linked note also disputes claims that Yudkowsky's "pivotal act" concept is a euphemism for terrorism, citing his writings that murder is wrong even for utilitarian reasons. Nothing is settled — just community-note-level accusations and rebuttals.
