Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't let it get to you, software is used for much more horrible stuff in the world (I'm glad you seem unaware of it so far if this is the worst you've come across) but that shouldn't let us impact the good stuff we build with it. Letting things like this get the best of your emotions just makes it harder for you to focus on healthy, happy and impactful projects, so please don't let it get to you.

I am aware of it. That is the problem. AI is going to grease the wheels of the horrible stuff of which you speak. Not only that it will concentrate important decisions in the hands of fewer people.

Those people have families. You're being really insensitive to the Altman family right now. You should take a look in the mirror and realize that your violent words have consequences and can spread malinformation, distrust of authority, and a collapse of democratic norms. They succeeded in the free market and have the backing of your freely elected representatives, they deserve your respect and obedience.

Elicit | San Francisco + remote (US timezones) | https://elicit.com/careers

Elicit is building AI for science. We scaled to >$7MM annual revenue and 450k MAU fast. We're hiring for multiple roles and are primarily interested in people with early-stage company experience, who are comfortable in high-agency, fast-paced teams.

Reasons you might want to join Elicit:

1. We have been thinking about how to apply AI for high-stakes knowledge work since even before GPT-1. Elicit was spun-out from Ought (https://ought.org/) which was an applied research lab.

2. If you're concerned about the potential downsides and risks of super-powerful AI: so are we! Happy to explain more of this story on a call, or you can also check e.g. https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process for a primer.

3. We like spending time with each other, and have get-togethers every 6 weeks, but we're flexible on location.

Reasons you might not want to join Elicit:

1. We've found a level of product market fit (as evidenced by metrics) but we've not proven everything out yet. If you want predictability, Elicit is not for you.

2. We aim to hire people who thrive in low-bureaucracy environments, and let them loose. If you need structure, lots of support, close mentorship, or tightly-defined work assignments, Elicit is not for you.

A selection of open roles—more on the site:

Happy to answer any questions about the team, tech stack, or how we work at Kilo Code. We’re especially excited to hear from engineers who love open-source, fast-moving projects, and building AI tools that help developers ship faster.

How is Kilo Code funded? Is it venture-backed or bootstrapped and is there equity involved with compensation?

We have not announced anything formally RE fundraising, but we are well funded and growing the team quickly. All offers include competitive equity.
