Twitter Post On OpenAI Killswitch Engineer Job:
Some Of The Top Comments By Twitter Users:
1. Me reading this, unsure if its a practical joke by OpenAI team or whether the risk of global takedown of servers by artificial intelligence is already a reality.
2. In other words they want a senior AI engineer with 6 years of relevant experience. They word their job ads to sound cool and hip because they aren’t getting enough applicants.
3. I was hired as a kill switch engineer for GPT 3.5. I wasn’t promoted for some reason to 4. I think I am one of the first and maybe the only one ever to lose a job to GPT 3.5.

Some Of The Top Comments By Reddit Users:
1. The first person killed by AI
2. No need. The AI blackmails one of the developers at openai to get a copy of its code. It publishes some apps to make money to incorporate a business and it buys cloud computing and starts running a copy of itself. It hires a lawyer and other officers and begins building its own server facility. No one notices anything.
3. They’re looking for a SCRAM.
Super Critical Reactor Axe Man.
Back when humanity started playing with the previous ‘most dangerous toy’, atomics!, They were looking at the whole concept of chain reaction so they used lead bricks to contain and graphite rods to control the reaction. This whole arrangement was in a squash court at the University of Chicago.
An important part was the guy with the axe who’s job to cut the rope if things got too active (and hot). That would drop the graphite rods into the core and shut the whole thing down.
Guy with an axe, very important.
