Happy to clarify: What you’re missing is that there are tons of impactful roles—and people who are interested in them—that aren’t part of our highlighted roles. It’s perfectly fine to focus on the subset of roles where there’s more confidence in the impact (though never certainty), which is why we’ve set up a filter for it. But we’ve designed our board primarily for people who are considering impactful roles both inside and outside that subset, which we expect to be the right call for many (when considering factors like fit, absorbency, counterfactual impact, etc.).
So we think that a potential way to view this is:
For someone who seems primarily interested in AI safety & policy, you can recommend 80K.
For someone who seems primarily interested in more traditional EA roles, you can recommend the Opportunities Board (or the highlighted filter on our board).
For someone who seems interested in a wider range of impactful roles across cause areas, you can recommend the Probably Good board.
There are also smaller differences, such as that 80K and us offer custom email alerts and are stricter about removing expired roles, but I expect these differences will narrow as the Opportunities Board develops, and the above seems like a useful heuristic.
