My current thoughts are similar to harsimony’s, it’s probably possible to get the potential negative externalities of a job to factor into the price of the impact cert by having certs take on negative value/turn into liabilities/debts if the negative outcomes end up eventuating. We don’t know exactly how to implement that well yet, though.
I should mention that Good Exchange/impact certs people have discussed this quite a bit. I raised concerns about this issue early on here. Shortly later, I posted the question would (myopic) general public good producers significantly accelerate the development of AGI? to Lesswrong.
