    Those photos at them working all over the world in exotic locations, including the FTX condos in the Bahamas… … and still referring to themselves as “charity workers.”

      these women should be grateful to be our servants in such exotic locations!

      What a bunch of monochromatic, hyper-privileged, rich-kid grifters. It’s like a nonstop frat party for rich nerds. The photographs and captions make it obvious:

      The gang going for a hiking adventure with AI safety leaders. Alice/Chloe were surrounded by a mix of uplifting, ambitious entrepreneurs and a steady influx of top people in the AI safety space.

      The gang doing pool yoga. Later, we did pool karaoke. Iguanas everywhere.

      Alice and Kat meeting in “The Nest” in our jungle Airbnb.

      Alice using her surfboard as a desk, co-working with Chloe’s boyfriend.

      The gang celebrating… something. I don’t know what. We celebrated everything.

      Alice and Chloe working in a hot tub. Hot tub meetings are a thing at Nonlinear. We try to have meetings in the most exciting places. Kat’s favorite: a cave waterfall.

      Alice’s “desk” even comes with a beach doggo friend!

      Working by the villa pool. Watch for monkeys!

      Sunset dinner with friends… every day!

      These are not serious people. Effective altruism in a nutshell.
