  Hardly.

  Curtis Yarvin and his associates have talked to FUTO and attempted to pitch Eron on investing in his tech startup Urbit. Yarvin also sat down and talked to Eron about issues relating to technology. Eron did not agree to fund their work and did not find their pitch to be particularly compelling. That is the extent of FUTO’s relationship with Yarvin and Urbit.

  According to the article you linked it isn’t. They platformed him but it isn’t owned by him and he doesn’t work for them.

    FUTO has demonstrated other sketchy behavior. The relevant comments were collapsed when I opened the page FWIW.

    Also, platforming Yarvin alone is enough for me to avoid FUTO. Everyone is free to draw their line in the sand where they will.

    I edited my previous comment from “FUTO is Curtis Yarvin” to “FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin” to be more precise.

      I completely agree. I just thought it important to be accurate with these criticisms.

      Good on ya for the edit :)
