Jackson Wagner answers Are there any AI Safety labs that will hire self-taught ML engineers?

[Jackson Wagner]

Per Andy Jones over at LessWrong:

If you think you could write a substantial pull request for a major machine learning library, then major AI safety labs want to interview you today.

I work for Anthropic, an industrial AI research lab focussed on safety. We are bottlenecked on aligned engineering talent. Specifically engineering talent. While we’d always like more ops folk and more researchers, our safety work is limited by a shortage of great engineers.

I’ve spoken to several other AI safety research organisations who feel the same.
