[Musing] I suppose that I would expect that it’s sometimes correct to have personal dev goals look like spending work time learning AI safety. It’s a question of whether you’re hill climbing to a better version of yourself or attempting to jump to a different peak.
Like a junior ops person could spend 10% of her time on learning to code, to use a potentially antiquated example.
Yep, I agree with this! (Perhaps I should have included this caveat.)
Though I think often the junior ops person might be better off trying to take a month or two off to skill up more seriously, then begin applying for engineer jobs, or something? (Though obviously this is hard to do.)
I like this a lot.
