Other companies are providing access. OpenAI is just being reckless.

But you can definitely pick up at least intermediate knowledge with enough ground space given. I agree don't interview to a CV job when you are a NLP, but given what most places actually do, i don't think it is such a hard barrier to expect someone to pick up what they need to do in 6 months. I am sure a CV engineer could pick up tokenization relatively quickly.

Apply to higher tier places is the only thing I found works. I did an interview at MAANG where the interviewer had me qualitatively derive knowledge distillation from first principles (qualitative, no code or math on board). I didn't even realize what he was doing until he was asking about edge computing. Really fun. It honestly sucks that finding the good places is almost harder than finding good candidates.
