Readit News> So all that is left is ultra-high end applications and there are few of those.
(and yes, I am mostly in that tiny demographic)
Any for-profit social media will eventually degrade into recommendation media over time.
It’s our human lizard brain on dopamine.
I might fine tune this to "users most likely to click ads"
Yeah, hiring is scary. Hiring is insanely expensive on all fronts. Firing people is difficult, it's expensive and legally exposing. Hiring the wrong person, allowing them access your systems and potentially exfiltrate your IP to them is a hazardous but necessary venture.
The thing is, none of these things really changed with AI. People have been lying about their experience for literally centuries. IMO the advent of AI-laden candidates is going to nudge the hiring process back to how we did it 10 years ago, with a good old fashioned face-to-face interview and whiteboard questions. This means a lot of things that we've grown accustomed to in the past 5 years is going to have to melt.
- people are probably going to have to fly out for interviews, again.
- awkward and/or neurodivergent people are going to have to learn social skills again.
- And yeah, you guys, it's time to buy a suit.
Companies should consider reverting to forking the upfront $13-1500 dollars for a set of plane tickets for their hiring team and rented conference rooms for a week. It's a whole lot cheaper than spending 50k because you hired the wrong person for half a year.
Whatever future interviews look like, I sure as hell hope we don't maintain this ^ attitude.

It's still very cool to see the technology propagate to other industries though.
Then I try actually going through the motions of writing a production-grade application in C and I realise why I left it behind all those years ago. There's just so much stuff one has to do on one's own, with no support from the computer. So many things that one has to get just right for it to work across edge cases and in the face of adversarial users.
If I had to pick up a low-level language today, it'd likely be Ada. Similar to C, but with much more help from the compiler with all sorts of things.
Is that not the problem rust was created to solve?
Not that non-rationalists are any better at reasoning, but non-rationalists do at least benefit from some intellectual humility.
