I was looking into moving to San Francisco and found a position I was qualified for at Open AI. This was right before ChatGPT dropped so it wasn’t a high profile place yet. The job posting raised my hackles. I kept staring at it and couldn’t figure out why, but really gave me the creeps—something about how it was written made it clear that it would be unstable and I’d be living at the whims of bad people. I’m very glad I walked away.

What got me was that they kept mentioning in bold letters that it was fully in the office. I couldn’t get past that fact, it was so petty.

The job was for a Jamf engineer.

This is the fellow that gave the people of developing nations a few bucks’ equivalent of his crypto for their iris scans after all.
