AI Notkilleveryo... @AISafetyMemes
Oh god. ASI companies are now OPENLY hiring engineers to enable recursive self-improvement.
Hey @sama @mustafasuleyman @ericschmidt you warned RSI is too dangerous…
So, it's time to shut it down, right??
Are you still live players or dead husks being cordycepted by Moloch?
What are you waiting to see before you speak up?
The longer you wait, the harder it gets to stop, and the more likely we are to lose control.

[Attached screenshots: a job posting — Chen Liang @crazydonkey200: "...eam at @GoogleDeepMind is hiring a Research Scientist/Engineer... automated AI research with hands-on experience & strong track record. LLM/AutoML/RL is a plus. Send CV: crazydonkey@google.co[m]... it's real :) Subject: 'DeepMind Job Application'. Let's build ther[e]! 🚀" — and a second image with quotes: "The point at which you really want to get worried is recursive self improvement. When it starts learning on its own, we should unplug it." -Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt / Recursive-self improvement is "really scary." - Sam Altman]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
An AI-safety-meme account (AISafetyMemes) calls out apparent hypocrisy: AI lab leaders (Schmidt, Altman) have publicly warned recursive self-improvement (RSI) is dangerous, while DeepMind is openly hiring for automated-AI-research roles. Directly relevant to Nathan's AI safety/governance interests — RSI is a core concern in his research area, and this documents a real-world gap between stated caution and hiring practice.
