Recommend taking a look at this book if you're interested in careers to make AGI go well. 80k was quite helpful for me early in my career.

Your career is your most important decision. Especially for your impact.

But most career advice sucks, so millions waste it.

I’ve spent 15 years researching how to find the best career.

This book sums up everything I’ve learned. It feels like my life’s work.

And it’s out now.

In the full episode, we discuss the 3 biggest problems Ben & the @80000Hours team see in the world today, whether or not AI safety people should work at frontier companies, various theories of change, and what's neglected now.

People love to debate AI timelines, but @80000Hours author @ben_j_todd says the real question is:

How can you position yourself for maximum impact at the critical time?

And even on a 5-year timeline, there's still time to invest in preparation.

Importantly, the podcast is not a substitute for the book, which has a lot more practical advice for people looking to move into a high-impact career.
