Anthropic has a tough alignment interview. Like I aced the coding screener but got rejected after a chat about values. I think they want intense people on the value/safety side as well as the chops.

Maybe I misinterpret but I can’t help but shiver when I read this comment.
I just laughed. You’re a better person than I.
You misinterpreted nothing.
What does being "intense" on the safety side mean? High risk taking with AI safety or low?
You need to be insanely dedicated to burning rainforests and boiling oceans so that people can have AI write emails that other people will use AI to summarise and never even read the summary.
You're mixing up AI and Blockchain there, bud. AI has other, much deeper problems than energy usage, but nice virtue signalling nonetheless.

Probably alignment with mission. The siblings write a lot about it so read all that. I prepped but I missed the mark. I suspect because of doing too ordinary work so I didn't have examples that would make them think "damm this person gets us".
So much for diversity (at least in thought) hiring, I guess
What is an intense person on the value safety side?
Some one who reads the company website and has the communication skills to be able to convincingly regurgitate the company stances on issues. Come on guys, this isn’t some FBI lie detector test, they are going to ask you the same exact question people BS on in every interview to top companies, medical schools, etc.
That’s a fancy metaphor for a “yes man”
To remind, that's a company working on AI for the US military.
