    Eventually all of this slop will pass when they realize it does not work. But for a couple years everyone is gonna have to put up with companies trying bullshit like this until the metrics show that it doesn’t do anything for the cash.

      I assume they haven’t caught on because they think it will work soon due to not understanding the current problems are fundamental issues with the current offerings.

      The current problems cannot be fixed by scaling or using different training data, the core design introduces hallucinations errors. How many decades will it take for companies to catch on and be willing to admit it though?

        Add to this the cost fallacy, where they have put so much money to embrace the “AI” bullshit.

        And on the top of that, did you ever see a CEO or someone in power admitting their fault and say: “yeah guys, I was wrong all along, let’s fix this, I am sorry.”

        They will double down on that until bankruptcy and blame the incels, the gamers, the work force, the weather but not themselves.

        Also consider that the same idiot decision makers have been happily applying Factory-management methods to knowledge workers for decades without noticing how badly that works.

      I sort of assumed that would be the case with cryptocurrencies too considering it is 100% scams but so far I am still waiting. And AI has far higher chances to convince idiot CEOs than cryptocurrencies ever had.

    Wait. I thought we were going to be replaced with robots. What do they need AI for? To interview the robots?

    These have been a thing for a while but it wasn’t an LLM it was a video analyzer. I did exactly one interview like that 5 years ago and gave up halfway through the second video they wanted me to send in because the job sucked ass anyway in a shitty part of the country and I realized I was going to be miserable working there even if I got the job degrading myself like that. I ask terrified of getting laid off and having to enter the job market right now and deal with all these new ways companies are coming up with to degrade potential hires and waste their time

      Don’t worry. You won’t even get contacted about jobs in this market. I was doing identical work for a competitor of the company I interviewed with. I was a manager. I was a trainer. I didn’t even get to the in person’s. I was up against 300 other people. You have no chance in this market.

        I got laid off in January, still looking! Zero interview so far. I’m sorry to hear others are having a rough time too, although it’s a bit of a relief to know I’m not just super toxic or something.

          It’s definitely not you. But I did get a job with a buddies start up but it’s so new that I don’t make a salary. Just commissions for now. And I picked up shifts at a grocery store to get healthcare again. Plus now I’m in a union. Which is pretty sweet if you ask me.

    Cool waiting for candidate AI so they can speak with each other and lie to get hired.
