Loosely summarized today it says you should maximize your good to the world by going into high earning careers and donate to whatever are deemed the most effective charities. But they have a weird math based approach so stuff that has a low likelihood of killing everyone gets credit for helping infinite people because if humanity doesn't die out you saved all those unborn people.

It feels a lot like buying indulgences in that the movement has decided that donating money gives you credit for saving the world which leads to people like Bankman-Fried saying he was doing all these things to raise as much money as possible, but then not actually doing so.

There's no relation between Caroline Ellison and Larry Ellison.
