This is something I noticed in the xAI All Hands hiring promotion this week as well. None of the 9 teams presented is a safety team - and safety was mentioned 0 times in the presentation. "Immense economic prosperity" got 2 shout-outs though. Personally I'm doubtful that truthmaxxing alone will provide sufficient guidance.

xAI is infamous for not caring about alignment/safety though. OpenAI always paid a lot more lip service.

Their flagship product is child porn MechaHitler, it’s not exactly a surprise that safety is not a priority.
