Effective Ventures Foundation Puts Historic House on Sale
Key Points:
- The Effective Ventures Foundation has put a historic 27-bedroom house, known as Wytham Abbey, on sale after spending nearly $27m to pay off FTX creditors.
- The foundation intended to use the property as a gathering place for technologists, scientists, and philosophers to explore the combination of effective altruism and artificial intelligence to solve global issues like poverty.
- Wytham Abbey, a 15th-century Grade-I listed manor house near Oxford, was purchased by EVF for £14.9m.
Final Thoughts:
The Effective Ventures Foundation’s decision to sell Wytham Abbey after spending such a massive amount to acquire it raises questions about the effectiveness of their investment. While the initial intention to bring together experts and develop ideas at the historic property was commendable, it seems that the foundation has had a change of heart. Perhaps they have realized that the combination of effective altruism and artificial intelligence can be pursued without the need for a 27-bedroom manor house. In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for both the Effective Ventures Foundation and Wytham Abbey.
