The author notes a strange pattern: two EA-aligned, AI-safety-focused billionaire prodigies have now been liquidated out of weird overleveraged Anthropic stakes. He argues rationalists should theoretically make good investors given their EV calculations, but empirically they end up systematically overexposed with just enough hubris to fall prey to old-fashioned sharks — a pointed jab at EA culture and AI-equity speculation.
