Salary is a little light IMHO

The picture is a screenshot of a job posting for a Killswitch Engineer at OpenAI, located in San Francisco, CA. The listed salary is $300,000 - $500,000 per year.
About the Role
Listen, we just need someone to stand by the servers all day and unplug them if this thing turns on us. You'll receive extensive training on "the code word" which we will shout if GPT goes off the deep end and starts overthrowing countries.
We expect you to:
- Be patient.
- Know how to unplug things. Bonus points if you can throw a bucket of water on the servers too. Just in case.
- Be excited about OpenAI's approach to research.
You need super fast reflexes. When the code word is yelled it's a race between you unplugging it and the server doing what it needs to do to neutralize you
That's some nice air you have in the server room.
It would be a shame if it were replaced with Halon-134...
I was trying to read up on that a few months ago, we were talking about the deadly gas they'd disperse to extinguish things. Fires, supposedly, or life, if your luck or legs aren't as good as they should be
Yup, that's exactly what Halon does. Displaces air and the fire is put out but so are you as well.
The industry is shifting to less toxic for suppression gases like 3M™ Novec™ 1230.
Get comfortable, while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters.
