since this is an AI company it's not entirely impossible that they're putting out these ads to portray a certain image, rather than to actually hire people...

I mean...what image? The original listing had a terrible pay rate, they proudly boast that you'll be working 12-16 hour days and will start your employment making collection calls, which...I'd rather plunge toilets with my lips. If that ad is trying to push an image, man they couldn't be failing worse. It looks pathetic.

  Well, bending spoons openly admits you'll have to work harder than in other companies, and they're not startup either... I've heard horror stories about them, ie interview processes being possibly tougher and longer than faang ones, and much more

  The image that they’re forward thinking by embracing a trend that VCs love. The image isn’t for potential employees, it’s for VCs and hype.

  "Do things that don't scale" should really be rewritten as "do things that make you wish you were cleaning toilets with your tongue instead".

  YC frequently brags they don’t back ideas; they back founders. If that’s the case, it’s becoming quite clear to they back shitty people who openly exploit other human beings in search of profit.

    Wait until you find out doctors only treat desperately sick people, teachers only teach dumb kids and lawyers work with criminals.

      None of that is true. Doctors generally treat whoever comes to them, and sometimes may refuse to treat desperately sick people (see women who died in the US because doctors refuse to treat them after a miscarriage). Teachers teach whoever is in their class. You don’t need to have committed a crime to require a lawyer, even something as simple as writing a contract applies. But even if what you claimed had made any sense, it would still have been completely irrelevant and added nothing to the conversation.

  the image is that of "doing serious stuff by letting the AI do all the work". which is the promise of vibe coding, as well as the more general promise of this company.
