How does someone this dumb get hired at openai?

replyHe was a Saudi national, so that is a possibility
If you think about it that’s more likely than any other explanation.
reply50% is looking and sounding the part, the other 50% is having a good university on your resume / good networking.
replyYeah that. After three bad experiences in a row they are no hire status.
replyThere’s plenty of better people out there who just aren’t interested in that sort of stuff.
>how does someone this dumb get hired

Probably went to a prestigious university or had connections.
replyi.e. rich or rich
replyTechnical skill and common sense/street smarts are usually inversely related.
replyI could def espionage better. Does that qualify me to work at OpenAI?

replyIt's so bad, it seems fake. He gets a little fine or something, along with a large backchannel payment, all to keep attention off of something else...
replyBut that's crazy talk
