This is awesome! There are a number of factors that make sharing AI safety career opportunities feel particularly valuable to me right now:
AI safety roles are more abundant and lucrative now than ever before.
Salience of AI risks are higher now than ever before.
Concreteness of what people can be doing to help feels higher now than ever before (see the latest Holden Karnofsky 80k episode)
I think Jen’s approach is very impactful (and creative/cool!) For anyone reading this post: I think that reaching out directly to CS/ML people in your life (e.g, SWEs who have been laid off or are fearing layoffs) to make this case and share career infrastructure resources (80k, Bluedot, High Impact Professionals, ARENA, AI Safety Map etc) represents an enormously high-leverage opportunity for impact
