A Reddit post shows a screenshot of an OpenAI careers page listing a "Chief of Staff, Taste Tester" in the Office of the CEO, describing the job as tasting Sam's meals to ensure they're "not poisoned or whatever," paying "like $5M," with no remote option. The screenshot (via @polydaic, 143K views) is almost certainly a parody but became a viral AI-community joke.
