If they offered, I would take it. Not going to put an ounce of effort into convincing anyone to give me the position.
Jokes aside, the statement stands on its own without any sort of credentials and lack there of. A lot of the hypothetical AI danger relies on the fact that AI will somehow internally prove by a proxy that P=NP, and be able to produce information that would require brute force iteration to search using traditional methods through some arbitrary algorithm. Or alternatively, it will somehow be able to figure out how to do search for those tasks more efficiently, despite there being no evidence what so ever that a more efficient search algorithm exists for a given task.
Everything "simpler" then that is already possible to do, albeit with more steps, which is irrelevant for someone with capital or basic knowledge.
You should ask Google if you can have Geoffrey's spot at Google.
