EA's talent pipeline: careers advice, job board, podcast (Rob Wiblin/Luisa Rodriguez), 1-on-1 advising. Founded by Benjamin Todd/MacAskill. Completed spin-out from EV May 2025 and formally pivoted its strategy to 'help people work on making AGI go well' (April 2025) — the clearest institutional marker of EA→AI-safety convergence. Historically recommended working at frontier labs, incl. OpenAI (later regretted in part).
