Thank you for this piece—simply identifying the issues is encouraging for newcomers to the field (like me). More established fields (such as those represented by university departments) often have a centralized and searchable jobs board. Is there something like that already? I could easily have missed it. If not, what are the obstacles to aggregating information about open jobs in AI safety?
Another thought—Computer Science was a new field not that long ago. The first department was founded only 61 years ago. There was significant resistance initially from more established fields. Newcomers didn’t know where to start. Curricula and mentorship were far from standardized. Are there lessons to learn from CS’s success?
