PG's heuristic for being "good" (whatever that means), is that it improves your morale (most important) and it makes others want to help you (less important but also important).
I agree on both points.
The morale thing is obviously most important. Whatever I work on, I need internal moral clarity otherwise I won't be able to stay motivated when the going gets hard.
People seem unwilling to help as much, both with creating anti-ASI propaganda and with leaking info. The latter gets even less help though. Both are zero-sum political battles, and people would rather live in imaginary world where it is not necessary to cause suffering to employees of AI companies.
