I don’t think a single axis adequately models the system, nor does the US two-party system that attempts to cram everyone into just two buckets.

Ah, but discrimination against Roma isn’t racism because they actually are all dirty thieves!

• said to me by an actual European lacking all self-awareness

The manager noted such an effort would help “connect” warehouse and corporate teams.

Are they trying to build support among the white-collars for unionization of the blue? I can’t think of a better way to boost union support among the white-collars. I hope they get the full experience of having to piss into bottles because break times are too short.

Only 75 out of 287,000 layoffs this year attributed to AI replacement, yet further down, IBM alone has replaced “hundreds” of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

Absolute trash article. Any vague gesture in the direction of a fact is poorly defined with no sources. This should only increase skepticism towards AI replacing writers and journalists.

But one shouldn’t have to.

So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That’s the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I’m sure there are more.

I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.

I only vacation in countries that have trained their LLMs to use line breaks.

Use of the terms “warfighter” or “warfighting” is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I’m in. Big cringe. Might as well just say “I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I’m not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica.”

Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.

They are information sponges. They won’t understand everything, but they will catch on to at least some things. Don’t treat them like idiots. Don’t be unfair. Don’t be arbitrary.

Because it’s fresh in mind from a personal conversation, e.g., if a parents treats one child better than the other, the other absolutely sees it and she will remember. Reactions may vary, but she sees it and will make future choices with that information in mind.

I’ve been very pleased with your performance since joining the family 30 seconds ago. How would you feel about joining our management training program? Double the work for 10% more pay. I’m so proud. Can I call you son?

Hired!

Cooked or uncooked? Either way, you seem like a good fit for the team.

I mean, sure, if you don’t want to try any other answer to help convince them to hire you out of all the other applicants.

They’re not asking “why do you want a job” they’re asking “why do you want this job”.

As in, out of all the jobs that will pay you money, why do you want this one in particular?

There are other points during an interview process to lay out your pay expectations.

Don’t forget problems with everything around AI too. Like in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill (🤮) attempts to ban states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.

And even more broadly what happens to the people who do lose jobs to AI? Safety nets are being actively burned down. Just saying “people are scared of new tech” ignores that AI will lead to a shift that we are not prepared for and people will suffer from it. It’s way bigger than a handful of new tech tools in a vacuum.

This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.

But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health … sounds almost feasible.

Lol, I’d settle for communication, social skills, and some awareness of professional etiquette if one doesn’t want to go as far as nepotism and cronyism.

I’m probably in a bit of a bubble but I work with too many engineers who don’t like that they have to work with other people. If a super STEM person ever wonders how “less smart but friendly with the boss” people advance further, introspect a bit on whether anyone else can understand your big brain thoughts or if they die as soon as they leave your mouth.

Making friends and doing clubs in college is a good way to learn to be smart and to make sure you can adequately communicate your smart ideas. Goes with the theme of “don’t stress GPA, be well-rounded”.

1. it depends on the school and sometimes even the program

2. my advice is to slow your roll and focus on transitioning to college successfully, meaning establishing good study habits (they will have to change from high school), staying healthy during the time that is often the first extended time away from parent(s) (food, sleep, hygiene, keeping the drugs/booze under control, proper response to inevitably getting sick, mental health), and finally, enjoy the experience by making friends and trying new activities.

I have never once thought about what I could have done to earn another point on my GPA. I have thought a lot about the friends I made and the things I got to experience.

I extend more trust if I see consistent stories across multiple sources. If one is reporting something and no one else is, I question why.

I know a couple that was betrothed before they were even born.
