humans& | Product Engineer (Member of Technical Staff) | San Francisco | ONSITE | Full-time

humans& is a human-centric frontier AI lab. Our view is that AI should help people work together, so it has to understand people and the relationships between them, not just tasks.

Last month we launched Boba (https://boba.app), an assistant you can text one-on-one or add to a group chat. It runs on Ampersand, our first model, trained with RL over millions of simulated days with thousands of simulated people. Boba keeps track of your goals for weeks or months, sets up reminders and calendar invites, uses email and searches the web. In a group chat it reads social context and decides when to speak up and when to stay quiet. Early users have sent it more than a million messages.

Looking for product engineers who have done exceptional work on how humans and computers interact. You’ll build the product side of this: new interaction patterns for an AI that lives in group chats, remembers people and acts for them.

The founding team comes from xAI, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Stanford and MIT. Our investors include NVIDIA, GV and SV Angel.

- 4 hours, "this is a very simple exercise"

- 6 hours

What is the limitation on this? AWS lambda has 250M code size limit, 3G memory limit, 512M temp storage limit, how about this?
Re:Why you should not use Google Cloud on Saturday June 30, 2018 @05:54PM (#17432928)
I have a similar story. I submitted a ticket to increase my GPU quota. Then my account was suspended, because CSR think the account is committing fraud. At that moment, I have a valid payment method and have been using GCP for a couple of weeks. Only after I prepaid $200 and uploaded a bunch of documents including credit card pictures and ID pictures, my account was restored.

You heard me right, I prepaid them so that my account can be restored.

I miss AWS sometimes...
