I finally got hold of the government exhibit that SBF's lawyers worried prosecutors were using just to "show that he’s some sort of crazy person"
The document was to try to iron out a bad relationship between Alameda Research (trading firm with his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison as CEO) and Modulo Capital (trading firm co-founded by his ex-girlfriend Xiaoyun "Lily" Zhang).
Can't imagine why things were strained.
SBF had invested at least $400 million in Modulo Capital, against Ellison's wishes, and at later points spoke of wanting to shut down Alameda and have Modulo replace Alameda's role on FTX.
The shutdown didn't happen at least in part because Gary Wang pointed out he couldn't just shut down a firm that had borrowed billions of dollars in FTX customer funds.
This may be the "logistical/etc. reasons not to merge Alameda and Modulo" that SBF refers to in this document.
@molly0xfff Holy crap.
> And everyone has to agree that this has been done correctly
So, if you all just STFU and drink my kool aid....
@molly0xfff I’m kind of curious what he thinks a wave function is.
@molly0xfff That list has pretty good "All work and no play makes SBF a dull boy" energy.
@molly0xfff Man-criminal (not man-child) was not polyamorous he was just hedging personal relationships 
@molly0xfff keystone cop syndrome with youth, inexperience, weird sex, and a bunch of dark triad bullshit thrown in for good measure. 
@molly0xfff Well- they are right.
@molly0xfff I laughed out loud when I got to 'Communicating well'.
@eleanorrees @molly0xfff Has he been doing a Andy Kaufman-esque performance art/ comedy bit this entire time? If so, bravo SBF. Bravo.
@eleanorrees @molly0xfff "I don't get why these idiots don't understand I'm trying to collapse their wave functions?!"
@eleanorrees @molly0xfff apparently communicating with others doesn't matter as long as you "have good instincts"
@eleanorrees @molly0xfff oh and "being smart", which - lol, lmao
@molly0xfff He...he doesn't know what "uncanny valley" and "collapsing the wave function" actually mean, does he?
@eagerpebble @molly0xfff That is all I could think about while reading these.
@piddlesworth This is starting to feel very much like "Glass Onion" where the rich "genius" is actually an idiot who thinks using big words makes him seem smart.
@eagerpebble if Elon is Glass Onion, SBF is the Asylum Pictures knock-off “zirconium shallot”
@molly0xfff Wtf is this idiot even talking about? His obsession with "uncanny valleys" and "collapsing the wave function" are kind of hilarious if you're a person who uhh knows what those words actually mean.
@molly0xfff “Collapse the wave function,” huh. And I was just looking for an alternative phrase to “get on the same page.”
@jordan I suppose old fashioned metaphors don’t get you investors.
@molly0xfff That is some impressive drug induced word salad. I can’t comprehend writing those words and being responsible for moving billions of dollars around. Now I understand how he is out of touch with reality.

@igb @molly0xfff dude missed the point that Radiohead lyrics weren't meant to be a life plan
@molly0xfff that's... not what "uncanny valley" means
@molly0xfff I know this is because everyone involved shares the same TESCREAL beliefs, but it’s still unsettling to see SBF apply AI cultist nonsense (alignment, uncanny valley, quantum woo) to people
@molly0xfff He keeps using those words. I don't think they mean what he thinks they mean.
@molly0xfff yeah so, why do people think this goofball is smart again?
@molly0xfff As it turns out, the line between Boy Genius and bullshitter confidently spewing nonsense to confuse people is finer than we thought.
SBF was great at collapsing the wave function to make the Genius-to-Moron Valley canny.
@molly0xfff This is exactly what a SlatStarCodex manager would product.
@molly0xfff leaving aside the "crazy person" language for a moment, isn't this quote yet another admission of illegal collusion between supposedly independent entities?
_"SBF is aligned with Alameda + Modulo, and treats $1 to any as the same even though
ownership %’s aren’t 100%, and in the end I will make sure that each side is fairly
acknowledged and treated for public goods created"_
@molly0xfff The amount of uncanny things that weird bunch has written down is surprising.
It's more like family therapy, not like managing a multibillion dollar financial conglomerate. #SBF
@molly0xfff i can’t get over how everyone in EA uses these tortured scientific language metaphors that don’t really make any sense, they all sound like kids in gifted class
@molly0xfff This needs the ‘you can’t shit a shitter’ gif from breaking bad
@molly0xfff The 2nd image is proof he hasn't got a clue what an uncanny valley is.
