Yeah if there's a problem with Matt Levine it's that he enjoys finance a little too much and probably should consider that maybe finance should be more boring. Nothing against his writing but noting his bias with a "gee that's neat" attitude towards financial wizardry in how he covers certain things, like crypto.

cruft posted:10 seconds is a long time. I wonder what was going on in that 10 seconds. Was she just sitting there with her mouth open staring at a bench? Was she nervously picking lint off her clothes? Was she pointing in a wide arc across the courtroom until landing on SBF? From Verge's coverage quote:When the prosecution asked her to identify Bankman-Fried, she had trouble finding him and gazed around the courtroom for more than 20 seconds — apparently he was incognito with his new haircut. After she did spot him, she was asked to identify him, which she did by identifying him as wearing a suit. This got chuckles from the rest of the defense table, also all in suits.

Also he was a lot more positive on crypto and chummy to SBF than he lets on nowadays (SBF was in the process of poaching him from Bloomberg before everything went down)

Thing is with techbro types is they go from the nerds who got their start by actually knowing what computers are and how they work to some degree and that was enough to run rings around the rusted on boomers and other fossils with all the money, who get humiliated and/or start throwing infinite money at them.

I usually suspect someone in a suit is more likely to try and steal my money tbh. Also do any of tech bro start up people wear suits? I thought that's was just not considered a done thing outside older software companies like Microsoft and IBM?

That was his "thing" he was a mega rich guy but he drove a normal car and dressed like that, he was such a normal guy! You can trust him with your money! He plans on giving away all of his personal wealth to charities! Then of course the millions and millions of dollars embezzled for luxury properties got revealed.

Isn't LessWrong the people who are obsessed with Roko's Basilisk? Edit: I looked it up and apparently the "thought experiment" is just a what if with arbitrary made up numbers?
