Yeah framed like this, I like their decision best. In the important sense, you could say, they are still cause-neutral. It’s just that their cause-neutral evaluation now came to a very specific result: all the most cost-effective careers choices are in (or related to) AI. If this indeed the whole motivation for the strategic shift of 80k, I would have liked this post to use this framing more directly: “we have updated our beliefs on the most impactful careers” rather than “we have made strategic shifts” as the headline. It wasn’t clear to me whether the latter is a consequence of only the former, on my first reading.
