FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried didn't think rules applied to him, ex-girlfriend says_我的网站

致命魔术

一 |     FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried believed in utilitarianism and thought rules against lying or stealing inhibited his ability to maximize the greatest benefit for the most people, his former girlfriend and co-worker testified Wednesday at his federal fraud trial."He didn't think rules like 'don't lie' or 'don't steal' fit into that framework," Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried's on-again, off-again girlfriend, said.She said Bankman-Fried's belief caused her to accept behavior she recognized as wrong."I think it made me more willing to do things like lie or steal over time. When I started working at Alameda, I don't think I would have believed if you told me I would be sending false balance sheets or taking customer money," Ellison, who served as CEO of Alameda Research, said. "Over time it became something I was more comfortable with."Bankman-Fried faces seven counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering centered on his alleged use of customer deposits on the crypto trading platform FTX to cover losses at his hedge fund, Alameda Research, and to buy lavish real estate, among other personal expenses.On the witness stand for a second day Wednesday, Ellison walked the jury through Alameda balance sheets which, by October 2022, showed Bankman-Fried's private hedge fund owed FTX customers nearly $14 billion."We had a lot of risk on and we owed a lot of money to FTX customers," Ellison said. "We had no way to repay it."She said Bankman-Fried thought about trying to raise money from Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, or by selling shares in FTX, which would collapse in bankruptcy the following month, in November 2022."I was in a state of dread. I was thinking, worrying, imagining every day what would happen if people tried to withdraw too much money at one time," she said. "I was imagining all the FTX customers who we worked with who would get hurt by this."To shore up Alameda's precarious financial position Bankman-Fried told Ellison to repay Alameda's loans with money it borrowed surreptitiously from FTX customers, she testified Wednesday."He directed me to continue repaying Alameda's loans," Ellison said."How?" prosecutor Danielle Sassoon asked."By taking money from FTX customer funds," she replied.When Sassoon asked her if she knew it was wrong, Ellison replied, "Yeah I thought it was wrong," but continued to do it because "Sam told me to."By that point, Alameda had taken about $10 billion from FTX and Ellison said she worried its lender, Genesis, would find out."We had been borrowing increasing amounts of money from FTX customers and I didn't want Genesis to know that," Ellison said. "I didn't want Genesis or others to know that Alameda was borrowing a lot of money from FTX."Ellison said Bankman-Fried cautioned her against putting anything in writing, once telling her, "Anything we put on Slack should be something we're comfortable seeing in The New York Times."Ellison also described a "large bribe to Chinese government officials to get some of our trading accounts unlocked." Alameda had two trading accounts worth about a billion dollars on exchanges based in China, which were both frozen in 2021 as part of a Chinese government investigation into money laundering.It was a substantial amount of Alameda's trading capital at the time and Ellison accused Bankman-Fried of saying "that we should send the cryptocurrency transfers" equaling about $100 million.。     8 月 26 日消息,据鞭牛士今日报道,腾讯集团高级执行副总裁、云与智慧产业事业群 CEO 汤道生 8 月 25 日晚在腾讯内部刊物《知点》年刊上发表一篇文章。汤道生表示,这篇文章由他和 AI 协同完成,AI 已经从单纯的执行工具,变成辅助思考的协作伙伴。文章中,汤道生直面外界“腾讯做 AI 慢了”的评价。他坦言,全球大模型竞赛节奏飞快,友商在 ToB 市场声量突出,加上算力不足拖累了混元大模型迭代与产品落地,内部难免存在焦虑。但他判断,AI 竞争不是短跑,而是马拉松,当前行业才刚起步,市场格局、商业模式尚未定型,熬得久比起得早更重要。

二 | 能否长期投入、抓住真实场景需求,才是穿越周期的关键。在 AI 落地层面,汤道生提出,行业不能只聚焦大模型本身,算法决定上限,工程能力决定落地速度,场景是腾讯的核心优势。

三 | 他强调变革之中有两点不变:长期主义,以及以人为本。综合此前报道,在今年 5 月的腾讯股东大会上,腾讯董事会主席兼首席执行官马化腾表示,腾讯早期在 AI 领域的基础能力并非突出,近年通过人才建设、团队管理与内部培训持续补全短板,如今正逐步驶入发展轨道。

四 | 马化腾坦言,腾讯不一定是业界最快抓住机遇的,但坚持走正确的道路,结合自身独有优势稳扎稳打,“不能看着别人在那边做就随便跨过去,抢别人的地盘,过去我们也抢过但后来基本失败了”。对于腾讯 AI 是否落后的问题,马化腾表示,“原来一年前我们以为上了船,后来发现那个船漏水了,现在感觉站上去了,还坐不下去,还是希望船速能快一点”。在今年 6 月的 2026 腾讯云 AI 产业应用大会现场,针对外界“腾讯慢了”的批评,汤道生作出回应,其承认在复杂组织中不同业务线速度不一,有快有慢,也有失败与探索,对外界批评与提醒持开放态度并接受建议。
