1. EAs want to solve problems in area that are neglected/unpopular.
=> 2. Less jobs, etc in those fields and lot of competition for jobs among existing EA orgs (e.g. GPI, FHI, OpenPhil, Deepmind, OpenAI, MIRI, 80K). I’m not sure, but I think there’s an unnecessarily high amount of competition at the moment—i.e. rejecting sufficiently qualified candidates.
=> 3. It is immensely beneficial to create new EA orgs that can absorb people.
Other questions:
Should we instead make existing orgs larger? Does quality of orgs go down when you create a lot of orgs?
What about oligopoly over market when there are very few orgs (e.g. due to whatever reason if GPI starts messing up consistently it is very bad for EA since they are on of the very few orgs doing global priorities research)
Should More EAs Focus on Entrepreneurship?
My argument for this is:
