Why didn’t Will MacAskill predict Sam Bankman-Fried’s malfeasance?

I thought this was a great, as well as hilarious, critique from Adam Becker’s More Everything Forever, loc 398:

And MacAskill’s ability to forecast the future—even in the short term—is seriously questionable. Given far more information than most, he still didn’t accurately predict what would happen with Sam, just a few months after What We Owe the Future was published.

Effective Altruism founder Will MacAskill has built a hugely influential philosophical movement on the moral application of our knowledge about the world. In its more recent Longtermist variant this rests on weighing knowledge, even if fuzzy, about the long term trajectory of human civilisation against present concerns.

Yet Will MacAskill was old friends with billionaire crypto-fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), who he was repeatedly warned about and who supported his organisations with tens of billions of dollars. If he couldn’t act morally in relation to the substantial weight of evidence about SBF’s malfeasance then why should anyone have confidence in his capacity to act morally in relation to the deeply speculative knowledge of the future he assigns great importance to?

As part of the #clemency effort, #SBF’s parents Mr. Bankman & Ms. Fried, who are #Stanford University #law professors & longtime active #Democrats [shame], are consulting w/Kory Langhofer, an AZ atty who worked for #Trump’s 2016 & 2020 presidential campaigns. Politically connected businesspeople & DC lobbyists have also received outreach from intermediaries who claim to be allies of #SamBankmanFried….

Consulting with a lawyer who has ties to #Trump. Reaching out to Washington #lobbyists. And sitting for a jailhouse interview with #TuckerCarlson.

#SamBankmanFried, the disgraced #cryptocurrency mogul who was once a top #Democratic donor, has embarked on a campaign to secure a #pardon from Trump, 6 people with knowledge of the matter said.

- press secretaries are expected to lie a lot
- danger of stoking divisive rhetoric
- #wallStreet are allocating funds assuming trump will lead like a centrist
- (!DANGER!) pumped #tokenization "of parts of the world" (@gabriel)
- defensiveness at mention of #samBankmanFried and #ukraine

Remember #SamBankmanFried, sentenced to 25 years for his multi-$Billion #FTX #Bitcoin fraud? Remember the #Trump and #ElonMusk fascination with promoting wide use of Bitcoin in the economy? Can you see a possible pardon for Sam and his appointment as #TreasurySecretary or replacement for Jerome Powell at the #Fed. I know, it's crazy. But as crazy as #MattGaetz as Atty Gen?
