“While it is fine to criticize organizations in the EA community for actions that may cause harm, EAs should avoid scrutinizing other community members’ personal career choices unless those individuals ask them for feedback” isn’t specific to “people who work on AI safety at large AI labs”?
That’s true. It applies to a wide range of career decisions that could be considered “harmful” or suboptimal from the point of view of EA, such as choosing to develop ML systems for a mental health startup instead of doing alignment work. (I’ve actually been told “you should work on AI safety” several times, even after I started my current job working on giving tech.)
