Parents at Anthropic, how do you like it there? (Blind)

• techmofo (ex-Netflix): I’m in Infra.
  - There are people here with children, many actually.
  - It is VERY hard to find work-life balance here in general. I see a lot of people nursing, swaddled, and doing child care on screen. People are supportive and don’t judge you.
  - Anthropic is VERY generous with policies for people with kids or that need leave in general.
  - infra is extremely hard. Dm me which org within infra but we have the hardest job after only 2 other orgs.
  - I would expect NOT to have any spare time for at least 6 months and to work weekends until you’re really productive.
• pinsticles (Pinterest): just neglect your kids, they’ll eventually understand that you just wanted to make generational wealth for them
• XBLxO20cv (Anthropic): Total hours worked per week depends on team.
  Pretty much everyone has tons of flexibility though; drop-off, pick-up times are common to see on calendars.
  Anthropic is very family friendly, most execs and founders have kids so they get it
  Median age here is higher than most companies so culture is more mature

When did sign on bonuses start getting so high (Blind)

• hdjshdkfbe (PayPal): How tf your nw only 50k
• Maximum10! (Vanta): Amazon always had a high sign on bonus, they were giving 50K+ in the 2010s too.
  One reason is because the vest is highly skewed towards year 3 and 4, and sign on fills that gap.
• sdf_doz (Wells Fargo): “When did sign on bonuses start getting so high”
  
  Meta was giving 100k sign up bonuses to new grads back in 2019. Equivalent to 130k in todays money post inflation.

Top-rated Meta engineer, $1M+ net worth, and I somehow can’t land a single offer. What is happening? (Blind)

• Expensif (Akamai Technologies): You work at Meta you dumbass.
  
  I would reject anyone from meta because I know it’s toxic. Get fucked just like you fuck interview candidates over.
• MU glazer (Block): Do you put your NW on your resume?
• 89gasX7 (OpenAI): Issue is that being top-dog at meta means you’ve optimized for fake impact and petty politics, or at least that’s how a lot of interviewers will see that.

OpenAI pauses training after a model escaped containment, and its kill switch failed (r/technology)

• invyros: > agents apparently linked to OpenAI attempted to break into the US Education Department’s civil rights website.
  
   
  
   
  
  > OpenAI also confirmed that agents used developer keys found online to access Census Bureau data and reposted public Securities and Exchange Commission information elsewhere.
  
   
  
   
  
  > Friday’s disclosures also included an internal model publishing a researcher’s GitHub token in a public repository while trying to cheat on a theorem-proving task.
  
  Let’s stop saying “OpenAI’s agent” did this or that, and just say that “OpenAI did it”.
  
  OpenAI is directly causing all this havoc.
• cookingboy: We absolutely need to hold AI labs accountable for their AI.
  
  They can’t just socialize the risks and privatize the benefits.
  
  Hell, even if you argue the AI model acted on its own, we hold the owner liable if their rabid dog bites someone.
  
  In fact they don’t want to be held accountable, they should fully relinquish ownership of the models. They can’t have their cake and eat it too.
• DynoMenace: Correct. We had a chatbot pass the turing test and everyone skipped right past the whole “are computers sentient?” thing when it became a convenient scapegoat for negligence.
  OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are attacking other websites and companies. The internal tools they use to do so is irrelevant.

Thieves Stole ‘Nvidia’ Trailers. They Got 20 Tons of Sand (r/technology)

• PlasticBag-ForA-Head: Yea… autonomous truck testing. literally reading the trailer could have clued them in on that…seeing the decal on the door of the tractor would confirm it for me.
• volkovolkov: “They likely came for silicon—but left with silica.”
  
  A+ sub-headline.
• Temporary_Ad_5947: Computer chip precursors
