I don't have a tiktok nor a twitter, but somehow I sincerely enjoyed consuming this, nice work!

As someone with a STEM degree who enjoyed taking online classes at a CC during their 20s in Art History, I wouldn't call it a waste of time; it's brought me more joy, balance, and a feeling of well-roundedness than I had contributing to os projects.

Define diversity?

fwiw my best friends are SE Asian (not Chinese), white, black, and Mexican. I didn't feel this photo is as equally representative of that diversity. I'm not making a case it has any obligation to do so, just noting that it impacted my decision to not apply here a while ago.

I dunno - looks fairly representative of the Silicon Valley population demographic. Maybe not so much an issue with this company? I notice (as usual) under-representation of women. But that's endemic to the industry.

To an extent I agree that most startups are made up of Caucasians/Chinese males, I think one of the reasons I left tech professionally is because I didn't feel comfortable/enjoy the lack of diversity.

On a side note, has anyone noticed a lack of diversity on the group photo on their careers page: https://openai.com/content/images/2020/04/openai-offsite-jul...

I remember coming across it not too long ago and felt unwelcomed/disappointed.
