#GoingInfinite - So, Lena Dunham is writing the Sam Bankman-Fried movie being developed by A24 and Apple Studios. No doubt, there's going to be a lot of competition bringing this story to screen first. However, this film is a direct adaptation of Michael Lewis's book “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon,” following a competitive bidding war last year.

Recently listened through #MichaelLewis's #GoingInfinite in pretty much one sitting while driving cross country.

As someone with a passing interest in cryptocurrencies, effective altruism and probabilistic thinking, it was pretty crazy to hear what happens when it's all turned up to 11.

A bit conflicted about how mental health is mentioned but not directly addressed in the book. It was probably responsible to not armchair diagnose, but it was a big piece of the puzzle to leave out.

Good Morning, all

It must be such a godsend for a biographer to have a subject and their lover who communicate their feelings (or lack thereof), concerns, doubts and motivations to each other via written office memoranda.

Reading #GoingInfinite, Michael Lewis's book about Sam Bankman-Fried. Two chapters in and realizing that the way I feel about Magic: the Gathering (that it is a nearly unfathomable waste of time*) is how Sam feels about literature, art, the humanities, human expression, and other people. It sounds horrible.

I'm not sure you can put this guy in jail. He's already there.

* huge respect for many friends who love it; the most glorious thing about games is how deeply subjective enjoying them is

I've reviewed Michael Lewis's book Going Infinite, which just published today as Sam Bankman-Fried's trial kicks off. Ultimately, it's a story of the FTX collapse that never meaningfully changed from the hero story Lewis originally set out to write.
