the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

Listen, I just think it's weird that the same people who are saying they're worried that AI is going to wipe out humanity are also eager for military contracts that will give AI control of weapons.

I know I'm late to the party, but I finally watched Thunderbolts last night and that was a much better movie than I expected. So much sarcastic humour, right up my alley! The whole discussion of mental health throughout the film was also very nicely done, appreciated that.

My husband works for a healthcare org and we were talking about AI. The org's stance on AI is that you can use it as a tool but you have to verify the output. If anything goes wrong, then your license is on the line. My husband was irritated that tech people have no licensing and standards.

But I said what I said about cognitive decline and knowledge decline. It's real. Giving secrets away: I make my top performing engineers mentor non-engineers who are trying to learn to write code and build systems. Vibes have nothing to do with it. They are my surrogate entry level human engineers.

People, young and old, came to the witch for directions. "I seek adventure." "I seek wisdom." "I need a place to feel at home." "I feel like I need to cry, but I can't." The witch listened, and told all where to find what they sought. And the local library thrived. #CrossRepost
