Sam Bankman-Fried - Footnote 19
The source mentions Bankman-Fried engaging with the 80,000 Hours community and EA forums, and being mentored by William MacAskill, but it does not explicitly state that MacAskill 'promoted Bankman-Fried's approach as an exemplar of high-impact career strategy.' It does say that 80,000 Hours and others framed Bankman-Fried as a good example of someone who successfully pursued earning to give as an altruistic strategy. The source does not mention Bankman-Fried being a regular presence in Washington, D.C., lobbying on cryptocurrency regulation and positioning himself as a responsible actor in an industry often criticized for regulatory evasion.
