The job post almost instantly went viral in December, with CEO Sam Altman warning of biological and hacking risks — saying things were moving so fast they urgently needed someone for the «stressful job,» to be ready to «jump into the deep end pretty much immediately.»
On the hiring, Altman says he has found the best candidate for the job, and is «extremely excited» to welcome Scandinaro, who says there are great benefits ahead, but also warns of «irrecoverable harm» if not handled correctly.
— Things are about to move quite fast and we will be working with extremely powerful models soon. This will require commensurate safeguards to ensure we can continue to deliver tremendous benefits, Altman writes.
