    TLDR

    In a reply, Timnit Gebru stated that journalists should examine roughly $100 million provided by Tegmark's institute to Lightcone/Lighthaven as its seed funding. She referenced a Guardian article titled "Sam Bankman-Fried funded a group with racist ties. FTX wants its $5m back," which reports FTX trustees alleging the payments came from looted funds. The post appears among visible replies on the platform and presents the funding detail as a matter journalists have not yet covered.

    @timnitGebruWell but another one, if journalists truly did their jobs, would be the $100m Tegmark's institute gave to Lightcone/Lighthaven. I.e., all their seed funding, to the tune of $100 million or thereabouts. What is Lightcone you say? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/16/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-eugenics-scientific-racism
