Wow. Yea. I think the hiring processes is broken in a lot of ways. I also think trying to get AI to solve it or adding even more layers into the process is only going to make things worse.

I mean, it works incredibly well if you're a boss and want to hire a bunch of clones... but if you're a bad boss... lol

Might not be something to complain about, lol The "10x rockstar" JDs usually mean "we don't actually know what we want." Best, most senior job _and_ with best TC I ever got was just half a page saying exactly what t

I will never forget. Some startup claimed they could find the best candidates for the job using "AI." They had a whole bunch of BS selling points. I think they even convinced a fair amount of companies to get on board too. I w

That seems to match what I've seen. Especially the last line. It's just so weird the dynamic between "pretending to care" and "actually caring." I've worked at or consulted on small teams that were very

What makes FB exceptionally bad? Jw. For me, TikTok even though they probably don't hire SDEs like FB and there's prob enough people to fill those roles anyways. I truly think its an awful invention. It's bad for the same re

It can actually be comical just how _bad_ things can be at large orgs. Anyone have details, theories, or a book on how such inefficiencies come about? I can't speak to tech-oriented large orgs but I've worked with others and its

I hope things like this can make some amazing breakthroughs. I have 0 knowledge of medical advancements but it just feels like the big "boom" for medicine was mostly in the 20th century.

I can't blame him. I really love VR. It's still in that period (maybe it never leaves?) where as amazing as it is, its just too much of a hassle to "set up" or "tear down." Maybe I'm just lazy tho, lol

Well sure. Technically lying isn't punishable either. Only getting caught and only in some circumstances. I'm probably just a bit bias, as I remember a bit of a fiasco with content creators relatively recently with the Johnny De

Sure. I don't disagree with that at all. I'm just saying if OP finds that reasonable he would also find it reasonable that basically every media company would go out of business. I'm not at all a fan of lying, not in the le

This will certainly not help and has only breathed new life into the conspiracy. The (un)fortunate thing about most people that are absolutely nuts is that they have nothing to lose.

If those were the reasonable standards, every media-company would be broke. I'd argue traditional media reaches many more people and the impact of intentional lies is that much greater.

I feel like that number should be much, much higher. Activision was just bought for nearly 10x as much, IIRC.

There’s some decent criticism in the video. I don’t really understand the hate on the bot. Of course it looks less impressive when compared to companies doing robotics for decades. Also, as someone that does private equity, I will never n

While that’s true, it absolutely sucks that you have to do this much background research for a service like this.
