I find it icky/disappointing when things like this end up on the 80k job board. Can someone make a case why this is a high-impact job worth advertising on the job board?
I couldn’t disagree more here, I think we need more of these kind of jobs on the jobboard.
Imagine if you are a kitchenhand and you are good at and like your job. Perhaps you don’t have any tertiary education but you’d love to be more impactful then your current work at Starbucks.
Whether that is through IT, HR, or providing food.
Not everyone needs to be a high-level researcher, and I think it is fine to list jobs that have very different skill requirements than the typical 80k-advertized job.
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...

What a rare and great opportunity.
Helping high-impact orgs can be high-impact.
