And we value impact advancing our long-term goals of steerable trustworthy AI rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles.

Were an extremely collaborative group and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such we greatly value communication skills.
