IDK, if someone advertised an AI job like this in 2023, I bet it'd pique some people's interest.

  You’re on target. sama on this: “want to be stressed, watch some GPUs melt, and have a fun time? good at doing impossible things? send evidence of exceptional ability to chatgpt-eng@openai.com” [1] [1] https://twitter.com/sama/status/1630724485828714497?lang=en https://twitter.com/sama/status/1630724485828714497?lang=en

    That sama tweet is very effective, he's known to be the real deal, his startup is known to have external funding and therefore validating, and the humor shows the work environment. A real equivalent would be a nobody, with no external funding (first external funding of amazon was 1995), promising equity and requiring a move. Let's say you got an email 2 years ago from someone you've never heard of saying: "Self-funded startup seeks extremely talented developers to work on AI. You must have experience building large and complex, yet easily maintainable systems, and work in 1/3 time that others say is possible. Top-notch communication skills are required. Familiarity with [the technology you'll be building for] would be helpful but is not necessary. Must be willing to move to Seattle." Not quite as interesting as sam altmans tweet...

  Yeah, it would pique interest, as I said "would be interesting enough to learn more though." - but I'm responding to the comment saying his reaction would be "“holy cow this is the future and I want to be a part of this”, then you’d roll the dice and apply." - which I really don't think so, there's a lot of big talkers and people new to the industry get burnt working for deluded individuals, and there's nothing obvious in the email to indicate if this is real deal or not.
