And as a result, I think, especially over the last year, maybe two years, I think we've had more of a need for people who just want to do the obvious thing and land it, as opposed to people who want to figure out the ideal, optimal thing, write a cool research paper about it.
Because we're talking about the AGI safety and alignment folks, right?
That's right.
Yes.
I am talking primarily about the AGI safety and alignment team.
So yes, I think a focus on just doing the obvious stuff, a focus on implementation rather than research.
I think in practice, this also means more of a focus on software engineering relative to machine learning research.
I do still think that we do care about
conceptual ability, research taste, ML engineering skills, they do come up when you're doing this sort of implementation.
You need to test how good your system is.
That means you need to build good evaluations.
You need to not overfit to them.
You need to be a little bit careful about that.
So it's not like those skills are irrelevant.
I just think that there's more of a focus on things like
Getting things done, software engineering implementation, now relative to even just a year ago, but especially relative to two years ago.
No, I think we are hiring quite a bit less than Anthropic and OpenAI at the moment.
We do have a couple of roles open right now.
Partly we have roles open in other teams that I think are also very relevant.
Like the AGI Safety and Alignment team isn't the only team that's relevant to AGI Safety at Google DeepMind.
