    To be fair, the applicants for positions on the "AGI Safety and Alignment Team, which seeks to mitigate the risks of advanced AI" will likely have extremely non-traditional background and therefore likely screened out by the LLM.

    Still, this would have been hilarious if it weren't so sad...

    >Google DeepMind’s AGI Safety and Alignment Team, which seeks to mitigate the risks of advanced AI, is encouraging job candidates for its open roles to fill out a special form alongside their application to eliminate the risk it may be automatically screened out by the company’s internal AI systems, according to a document viewed by Bloomberg, which contained the disclaimer “PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS DOC WIDELY.”

    >“We have an applications system with a non-trivial probability your CV will be screened out incorrectly or take too long to reach us,” the document states. “Filling out this form makes sure that a real human on the team will get to see your application.”
