I’d have to agree to put it lightly it certainly influences my view on MIT. I won’t go as far as assuming people knew but I’d have to imagine anonymous donations with this many 0s where asked about outside of the media lab.

Their treatment of this guy is what made me lose respect.

this is arguably much, much worse than the Epstein donation stuff.

Accepting these donations is morally shady. Their treatment of Swartz is downright evil.

It wasn’t all that many 0s for the media lab.
