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.

I have 30 years experience in just hanging around and unplugging things. This is the job I was made for. It's my destiny.

Do you have any superhero music theme? This is a perfect situation to use it!
