79% chance. The Guardian piece here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/16/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-eugenics-scientific-racism Reportedly contains many factual errors: See https://x.com/ohabryka/status/1802563541633024280?t=8IhUv03x6PKq_r5MwLbPuA&s=19 Resolves yes if one or more of these are corrected (either by stealth edit, deleting the article or editors note) by the end of July.

      There really is a difference in professional ethics guidelines, though.

      ETA: lol. lmao, even

      A Vox spokesperson declined to comment on whether the company has an ethics policy in place around reporters betting on sports they cover.
