The picture is a screenshot of a job posting for a Killswitch Engineer at OpenAI, located in San Francisco, CA. The listed salary is $300,000 - $500,000 per year.

About the Role
Listen, we just need someone to stand by the servers all day and unplug them if this thing turns on us. You'll receive extensive training on "the code word" which we will shout if GPT goes off the deep end and starts overthrowing countries.

We expect you to:

  • Be patient.
  • Know how to unplug things. Bonus points if you can throw a bucket of water on the servers too. Just in case.
  • Be excited about OpenAI's approach to research.

Thanks! I completely missed that when I looked. This is great!

Bottom nav drawer!

And is there some way to hide all previously-read items with one click? That's something I really miss from Relay, it made the browsing experience more enjoyable. :⁠-⁠)

The protest didn't succeed, but that just means a lot of people who were already disillusioned with Reddit and basically just trying to ignore most of the bad decisions by the admins decided that there was no point in sticking around because it clearly won't get better.

I was a mod of a moderately sized subreddit under a different username, and a lot of the other mods I talked to said that they're done after the 30th. Some of them, like me, already left. And while I know a lot of people like to hate on mods, in most subreddits the mods are doing a ton of work behind the scenes that keeps things on track. Without them, you're completely correct- Reddit will get worse and worse.
