Don’t let AI lab folk trick you into thinking that (1) joining the nth dozen equivalently senior people at an AI lab is more important than (2) filling a unique C-suite slot at a nonprofit or government safety group!
The hardest roles to fill in the AI safety ecosystem seem to be: - Senior executives (CEO, COO, etc.) - Research leads (Chief Scientist, Scientific Director, etc.) - Program Manager or other roles for "highly competent generalists with strong AI safety knowledge and connections"
