The Nonlinear Library EA - Personal reflections on FTX by William MacAskill

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Personal reflections on FTX, published by William MacAskill on April 18, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
The two podcasts where I discuss FTX are now out:
Making Sense with Sam Harris
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
The Sam Harris podcast is more aimed at a general audience; the Spencer Greenberg podcast is more aimed at people already familiar with EA. (I've also done another podcast with Chris Anderson from TED that will come out next month, but FTX is a fairly small part of that conversation.)
In this post, I'll gather together some things I talk about across these podcasts - this includes updates and lessons, and responses to some questions that have been raised on the Forum recently. I'd recommend listening to the podcasts first, but these comments can be read on their own, too. I cover a variety of different topics, so I'll cover each topic in separate comments underneath this post.
