Hey Jamie, thanks for the comment!
80K and Probably Good have the same goal: get more people into impactful careers. Where we differ is mostly in emphasis and approach.
At a high level Probably Good differs in a few significant ways:
While 80K focuses more on longtermism, x-risk, and AI risk, we aim to provide impact-focused career advice for people in a wide range of high-impact careers, across many cause areas (more cause areas still coming :)).
Correspondingly, we aim to give (relatively) more weight to worldview diversification, moral uncertainty, and epistemic uncertainty. This leads us to focus more on information and tools for making career decisions rather than final conclusions.
Finally, as you noted—we have a different perspective and tone even when discussing the same issues.
So folks who already strongly endorse longtermism (and even more so 80K’s top priority paths) are most likely to find that 80K already pretty much fulfills their needs (and we tend to direct people towards them—not because we don’t also support the relevant cause areas, but because they’ve specialized in those areas more).
