“I actually think that being clear about what we’re prioritizing is an important part of fulfilling our duty to readers [...] You might think that despite that being our overall goal, the way we should be achieving it is supporting the EA community.”
My reading of this disagreement is a bit different.
A few years ago, when I encountered 80,000 Hours’ career guide, it seemed like your goal was “to help readers to help others by creating cause-neutral way to think systematically about their career”.
In 2018 it seemed more like 80k’s goal was “to recruit readers to work in AI and ops”.
I don’t know if your goals changed, or if the way you communicated them changed, but the first goal seems better.
