NoteThe source confirms most elements: PhD in Philosophy (✓), Open Philanthropy program officer (✓), Future Fund CEO (✓), and Secure AI Project co-founder/CEO (✓). However, the claim specifies 'founding team, FTX Future Fund (2022)' while the source only says 'CEO of the Future Fund' without explicitly stating he was on the founding team or the year 2022. The source also does not explicitly mention 'longtermism' as a focus area, though it's implied by his roles. The claim's 'as of 2026-04' cannot be verified from the source, which appears to be a current/undated snapshot. The source confirms the roles but lacks specificity on founding team membership and the 2022 date for FTX Future Fund.
