did Bank man or any other coin lord have career history before their great coin rise and fall? like even musk has the history of "blood emerald failson" failed paypal prez, and then a few lucky lottery tickets with tesla and spacex. like i think Bankman's parents are just generic rich people?

Is there any way for SBF to make things less bad for himself? I think "good" is not even remotely an option at this point. I'd say that maybe he could throw himself on the mercy of the court, but I don't think that would get very far with the flagrant criming he's done (and that's not getting into if he would do that, just if he could).

drk posted:bankman jr worked at a bank before becoming his own bank Small point of clarification, he worked at Jane Street, an algorithmic trading company. So in essence, he worked as a professional gambler of vast sums of money before becoming a professional gambler of even vaster sums of money. The jury is still out on the "professional" part of that though.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, my plan was always ultimately to rob from [everyone] and give to the poor. And you can trust me to make good decisions about who to give charity to because as this trial has made clear my judgment is impeccable

I hate to break it to you but video games and social media have been rotting brains far longer than tiktok specifically has been doing the work. Anyone under about 35 is already irredeemably addled, and we're already doing surgery and electrical work and something awful posting and eleven digit financial crimes. Not to mention all the people in older age groups who've been hosed up by the Internet just as hard, as evidenced by basically everything that is happening everywhere, all of the time.

And that perfidious rock and roll will destroy our culture, and novels are going to corrupt our youth, and polyphonic music will drive humans insane, and writing is just a passing fad that fucks up everyone's memory.

There is a difference between a movie prop and a copy of a movie prop made decades later. Actually the idea that they're the same thing is kind of NFT-ish.

Couldn't find any, just replicas. They only made enough for the top layer of one case, and even those were printed only on one side.

the best way to think about ethics is like a board game where you try to accumulate as many "ethics points" as you can by the end of the game, no matter how cutthroat, dishonest or selfish you have to be to get there

There is a massive commotion outside the courtroom following Sam Bankman Fried's earth shattering testimony. The jurors seem to be building a rudimentary guillotine and the judge has donned an executioner's hood. And here comes Sam now, he's being dragged out by both the prosecution and the defense, arm in arm, united against him. The people of the gallery are filing out after, some have lit torches and they're all calling for blood.

Especially because he's constantly ripped to the gills on hard stimulants, but setting that aside... To me, this just seemed like a burst of resentment because he was facing loss of status and clout, rather than any definitive evidence that he was a master manipulator the whole time. If he had managed to stay on top, he probably would've went right along pushing and earnestly believing in whatever schemes he and his cronies cooked up to "better humanity." I bet a not-insignificant number of CEOs of high-dollar corporatized non-profits would express similar sentiments if they had everything suddenly yanked away from them.
