Many of the best candidates will accept other offers while you dawdle.
The current state-of-the-art AI is nowhere near capable enough to be dangerous.
We’re still a long way from SkyNet.
Everyone misses the point of “safety protocols”. The safety protocols are meant to keep the AI’s sponsors safe from embarrassment. Not keep the rest of us safe from nefarious application of AI by its sponsors.
Or for that matter, an entirely new definition of “safe” that we are unaware of
I’ll bet a good AI PhD is making seven figure salaries.
A handful at the top, like Jeff Dean and Ian Goodfellow, are making seven figures. Run-of-the-mill AI PhDs with solid publications and a few years of work experience actually building something, will make mid-six figures.
Like muppets with helmets.

Ignoring the issues of actual technical capabilities this is just people lying to themselves. The people who want “super intelligence” want it for a reason and that reason invariably has a nexus to money and power for themselves and their investors.
Even if you are a fricking saint it isn’t about you or what you do. It is about what is enabled by underlying technology and knowledge base. One persons Safe Super Intelligence is another’s Sinister Super Intelligence.
