I’m Emma from the Communications team at the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA). I want to flag a few media items related to EA that have come out recently or will be coming out soon, given they’ll touch on topics—like FTX—that I expect will be of interest to Forum readers.
- The CEO of CEA, @Zachary Robinson, wrote an op-ed that came out today addressing Sam Bankman-Fried and the continuing value of EA. (Read here)
- @William_MacAskill will appear on two podcasts and will discuss FTX: Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg and the Making Sense Podcast with Sam Harris.
- The podcast episode with Sam Harris will likely be released next week and is aimed at a general audience.
- Update on April 1: this episode is now available for listening here.
- The podcast episode with Spencer Greenberg will likely be released in two weeks and is aimed at people more familiar with the EA movement.
- Update on April 16: this episode is now available for listening here. (A linkpost from the host, Spencer Greenberg, is also here.)
- The podcast episode with Sam Harris will likely be released next week and is aimed at a general audience.
I’ll add links for these episodes once they become available and plan to update this post as needed.
I think CEA or EV collaborating with an external but still within-EA trusted organization seems like the best choice to me here. Hiring someone who is broadly known to be independent (like, IDK, you could choose someone from Rethink, or Tyler Cowen, or someone else in that kind of reference class), seems like a good idea.
