Update: The current job board seems to still list opportunities that "aren't directly focused on what [80k] expect to be the most pressing global problems.", but discovering this is hard, it's hidden in a tiny sub menu:

I don't like this.

I think people often come to the 80k job board to find impactful jobs, and that the current situation is misleading, and that this matters.

I don't remember if back when 80k added this filter it was more visible?

I made a conference app, if you're interested. Feel free to message me or take a look at the demo conference (currently at aconference.app)

Let me know if you have feedback, you know better than me what would make such a conference great

Yes,

I could use help understanding the demand for

1. Similar features but less bugs
2. Focusing on CEA's use case (making more high quality connections, right?)

Can you help me with this @Eli Rose🔸 ?

Probably yes, DMed you

Hey Ben :)

1. This analysis updated+surprised me, thx
2. I don't currently want to E2G, but if you (or others reading this comment) want to hear about cto/founder positions that I'm saying "no" to (but would probably want to hear about if I was going to do E2G as a cto/founder), lmk [[ + disclaimers about "won't always be relevant" and so on ]]

If you know anyone who drops out of a PhD, consider suggesting they apply^[1] for Effective Dropouts! You're invited too!

1. ^{^}

   As an organization that strives to have "the values of Effective Altruism plus the inverse of the values of universities", we don't actually have an application process

Hey, the post of mine that you linked is an attempt to simplify this question a lot, here's the TL;DR in my own words:

Instead of considering whether more EAs should E2G or not: apply to a few EA orgs you like, and if any of them accept you, ask them if they'd rather hire you or get some $ amount that is vaguely what you'd donate if you'd E2G. 

I think, for various reasons, this would be a better decision-making process than considering what more EAs should do.

On getting a software job in in the age of AI tools, I tried to collect some thoughts here.

Similar'ish discussions about Anthropic keep coming up, see a recent one here. (I think it would be better to discuss these things in a central place since parts of the conversation repeat themselves. I don't think a central place currently exists, but maybe you'd prefer to merge over opening a new one)

Perfect Draft Amnesty post!

Here are my Draft Amnesty thoughts:

1. I model many game developers as wanting their users to have fun, probably many of them are gamers. In other words, I don't think it's enough to TRY to make a fun game, we need something more
2. Naively, if you don't optimize for "people get addicted to your game" then probably people will get addicted to another game? Unless maybe you have a clever idea for some tradeoff EA could do that EA couldn't do?
3. I don't think you can assume "we can spend X on making a game and make more than X, which we could spend on something else" (I'm not sure you did that, excuse my draft comment if not)

Oh, looking now - my calendar sync is on but none of the Swapcard events appear in my Google Calendar (not meetups, not 1-on-1s) (I synced to Google Calendar before scheduling anything)

Do you have a way to debug it? Otherwise I'll disconnect and re-connect
