I agree, and I think part of the problem is giving a false impression of what kind of training or experience is most useful. You mention this in the over-reliance on EA resources which I think is a major problem. This is especially an issue when someone applies for AI Safety related jobs outside of the EA sphere—because they’re competing with people with a much wider range of experience.
I’ve always felt there should be a ‘useful non-EA courses/resources’ guide.
