Agreed - this article would have been a lot better if the author defined what they meant by "EA movement".
It broke my reading flow to have to go and look the term up.
Effective altruism. I had no idea that was a thing.
Also, I don't see what's particularly altruistic about working at Deep Mind or OpenAI - they pay pretty well from what I know.
There probably is a genuine shortage of programmers willing to work full time at a socially or environmentally oriented non-profit in the Bay Area.
- neilparikh 6y ago> they pay pretty well from what I know The core point of effective altruism is to maximize the positive impact you have on the world. That doesn't really have any correlation how much you're getting paid. > There probably is a genuine shortage of programmers willing to work full time at a socially or environmentally oriented non-profit in the Bay Area. Would that be more impactful than working at high paying job and then donation that money somewhere? I doubt these non-profits are constrained by their lack of programmers.
