Executive summary: 80,000 Hours and similar EA organizations should remove OpenAI job listings from their platforms due to OpenAI’s demonstrated recklessness, manipulativeness, and failure to prioritize existential AI safety.
Key points:
OpenAI has broken promises, used non-disclosure agreements manipulatively, and shown poor safety culture, warranting removal from EA job boards.
While some individuals may still choose to work at OpenAI, EA orgs should not systematically funnel talent there.
OpenAI’s path back to good standing with the AI risk community is unclear but would require costly, credible actions.
The author suggests maintaining some intellectual/diplomatic relationships with OpenAI, but without providing free resources or treating them as having good EA standing.
This recommendation applies specifically to job listings, not to more nuanced articles discussing AI lab work.
The author acknowledges potential counterarguments but maintains that OpenAI’s actions justify this stance.
