Lots of EA orgs say they struggle to hire for ops, marketing and comms. But when they post listings for these roles the salaries are often much lower than what they offer for research and engineering, which they generally find easier to fill. My guess is that orgs are just benchmarking against normal market rates for these roles. But the EA labour market is very different to the normal labour market, if these roles are undersupplied inside EA, I think orgs should be willing to pay more for them.

Daniel Björkegren points out (h/t Deena Mousa's newsletter) that marginal returns to intelligence from advanced AI will be lower in LMICs due to scarcer AI complements, lower digital legibility, and smaller knowledge sectors, so AI that augments knowledge workers is likely to disproportionately benefit richer countries: So what can LMICs do? Daniel suggests these: Relatedly, Daniel also has a great post on how the poorest use AI. A quote: This topic became more salient to me after attending Deena's EAG talk on how LMICs should respond to AI, which feels like it should be a much bigger topic than it currently is.

Our board now has more roles than before (1600+), and a public Airtable version that you can use to set up custom views and automations (including with Slack). A quick guide for using the new Airtable: 1. Open the public Airtable and click "Use this data". Make sure "Create a synced table" is selected. Choose which Airtable base you'd like the jobs data to live in. This creates a read-only synced table with our published roles. 2. Create a filtered view in the new table (e.g., filter by cause area, location, or role type). 3. From here, you can set up Slack notifications: 1. Trigger: "When record enters view", selecting the filtered view you created in step 2.  2. Action: "Send a Slack message" (via Airtable’s built-in Slack integration) 3. Compose your message using field tokens to pull in live data from each role, e.g. New role: {Job Title} at {Org Name} | {Job URL}. Use markdown for basic formatting like bold or italics.  If you use our job board, here’s a few ways you can help us to help you: * Test out the new Airtable and let us know if there are any issues or if you do anything cool with it. * If you land a role that you found on the job board, please get in touch! Even a short message about how our services helped you makes a huge difference to our ability to continue providing these services. * If you know of any orgs you think we should monitor for the board (including ones you work for), please share them! * If you work at an org that's listed on the board, note that links to your roles from our job board automatically include utm_source=probablygood_board so if you track referral sources, you'll be able to see applications that came via us. If you have a question on your application forms regarding where candidates heard about the role, please also consider adding "Probably Good" as an option.  * If you’re a hiring manager/recruiter who ends up hiring a candidate who found your role through our job board, please let us know!

Over 40% of my lifetime donations happened this month. I expect to never be able to make that statement again. These are weird times. For context on why it is extra weird, I've been donating since 2015 and have always donated 10% of my salary each year (or more).

Was at EAG, "no seats left" on all AI talks, "57 seats left" on the biosec ones. Fully agree with others that biosec field building seems underserved. Anecdotal but perhaps illustrative. Thanks CEA for another event full of amazing people.
