Was contacted by an xAI recruiter, legit or sophisticated recruiting scam?

Hello! I was contacted on LinkedIn by someone claiming to be a recruiter at xAI for this role:

https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/xai/jobs/5098930007

The recruiter profile seems legitimate, the role exists on the official xAI careers page, and the application link goes through Greenhouse. However, I’m still trying to understand whether this is fully legit or if there are any red flags I should be aware of.

What makes me a bit cautious is that when sharing my portfolio, they suggest using Google Drive / Drive access. I’m NOT planning to grant Drive access either way, but I want to understand whether this is normal in recruiting workflows or if it sounds suspicious.

So far:

  • no requests for money
  • no Telegram/WhatsApp
  • no software installs
  • no weird domains (everything points to x.ai / greenhouse)

But I know there are sophisticated phishing/recruiting scams these days, especially targeting tech/audio/AI people.

Has anyone here gone through xAI recruiting recently or applied for these “AI Tutor” contractor roles? Does this look normal to you?

Any insight appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with TouchOSC on Mac to trigger commands via MIDI messages and Keyboard Maestro, and so far it’s working well.

I’m now thinking about buying the iPad version, since that was my original goal. Before I do, I’d like to know whether it’s possible to automatically switch pages or layouts in TouchOSC depending on which app is currently active on my Mac.

ChatGPT suggested doing this with OSC messages, possibly using Homebrew and OSC send/receive, but before going down that route I wanted to ask here: has anyone done something similar, or is there a simpler/better approach?

Thanks!
