The amount of ‘often’ and ‘always’ (edit: on the mental health questions) was higher than I expected. I think this is important, especially if it’s representative.
I conducted 35 long form interviews with local Technical and Governance folk (about an hour each).
I think it would be helpful to see, qualitatively, what causes these negative emotions.
Hi quila! I’ll be honest—many of the interviews had a tinge of sadness to them. It has motivated me to explore opening co-working spaces in Sydney and Melbourne. Partly because I see a strong theory of change, but also because I think it will help improve the wellbeing of aspiring AI folk (there is ofc overlap between these two things!).

I’d have selected ‘often’ as well btw.

Are you from ANZ?
I meant that I think there should be some larger dedicated effort to solve this directly (maybe by one of the large meta-EA orgs).
