“EA community building”, “making a ton of money”, or [being an] “UX designer for EA organisations like 80K” can be pursued in order to mitigate AI risk, but I wouldn’t say they’re intrinsically “AI-related”. Instead of “AI-related career paths” I’d call them something like “career paths that can be useful for addressing AI risk”.
Yep, good point! I just wanted to make clear that IMO a good first-order approximation of your impact on the long-term future is: “What’s the causal impact of your work on AI?” And even though UX designer for 80k / Community building are not focused on AI, they are instrumentally very useful towards AI, in particular if the person who does it has this theory of change in mind.

Yeah agreed; I got that.
