Yeah, I didn't dig into EA that much after asking, but then I read the insane Sequoia-commissioned Bankman-Fried piece and it clicked immediately after the part about how William McCaskill convinced Bankman-Fried to go work for Jane Street so he could "earn to give". Oh. You can justify anything that way! You could murder hobos, if it jazzed you up for really hardcore day of trading or whatever.

I get it. Like utilitarianism itself, it makes a lot of sense in the small and like zero sense at all generalized.
