I don’t think it’s icky. (Some might even say it would be more icky to only value fancy research roles?) But it is somewhat surprising to me that this role ended up on the job board, as I would’ve assumed that Constellation sources this kind of role via normal job boards, like Indeed or something.
I wonder how many blue-collar workers at Constellation found their role due to EA motivations. My impression is that this number is very low, although I did hear that the chef is EA-motivated.
It seems like it would be quite nice for “low-skill” people who are worried about AI to be able to contribute. And plausibly a janitor or dishwasher who feels a great sense of purpose in their work would have noticeably more impact. But I feel like EA appeals mainly to “elites,” for better or for worse...
