Thanks Geoffry, yes I agree that ProbablyGood have now basically taken over the niche of high EV near-termist career advice and are a great resource. As a doctor, I think their content on medicine as a career is outstanding
A couple of reasons though (from above) why 80,000 hours might still be better having 20-30% near-termist content despite there being a great alternative.
1. Perhaps the argument I’m most interested in is whether 80,000 hours might produce more long-termist workers in the long term by having more of a short term focus.
2. ProbablyGood will probably never be.a “front page” of EA. As in I would imagine that 80,00 hours has 100=1000x the traffic of ProbablyGood, and I doubt many people first contact EA through ProbablyGood (happy to be corrected here though).
