AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants - BBC Worklife

Jump

  • It's a result of systematic job training and matching. 10s of thousands of people with similar backgrounds (college / university degrees, formalized through central controls, for example), applying through a few websites.

    There's of course gonna be mass application.

  • I'm so happy I never applied for this kind of mass job hunting. I just didn't like it. I couldn't believe it was the right thing to do. Turned out, I don't regret turning down BS.

  • Sure, diff tools aren't meant for this. At least you could try dedicated backup tools like borg.

    Another thing: schedule the backup to happen while you sleep or have lunch.

    • The rise and fall of robots.txt: As unscrupulous AI companies seek out more and more data, the basic social contract of the web is falling apart.

  • The consequence of falling behind is gravely different from most heinous acts. It can impact the military, elections, espionage, or whatever.

  • As I always write, trying to restrict AI training on the ground of copyright will only backfire. The sad truth is that malicious parties (dictatorships) will get more training materials because they won't abide by rules. The end result is, dictators would outperform democracies in terms of future generation AIs, if we treat AI training like human reading.

  • So, their next step is to treat abortion as an intentional murder, I guess. I can't imagine otherwise given this.

  • I understand. I've been like you every now and then.

    AFAIK after Getting Things Done appeared in the beginning of the email era, nobody found a definitive alternative for 20 years. And the GTD way of doing time constraints is "put it in the calendar".

    While each person has their own way of doing things, I'd be surprised if there were a revolutionary alternative to this.

  • I've tried a range of apps for recurring TODOs. Just use calendar events and fucking do it now was my conclusion.

  • Expedia does it right. Just stop stupid customers at the brigade, and connect people with the real need immediately to real people.

    Amazon is similar but the real people there are useless as fuck in my country. They're foreign part timers barely speaking the language if my country... Can't do anything specific.

  • Ah, that's right. But there have been people wearing VR goggles very long. And MS Hololens (although AR) was similar enough to not ignore imho.
