Good question. Like most numbers in this post, it is just a very rough approximation used because it is a round number that I estimate is relatively close (~within an order of magnitude) to the actual number. I would guess that the number is somewhere between $50 and $200.
A quick question: how did you come to the “high quality longtermism work pays $100/h”? Is this just based on salaries for similar positions?
