"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

As a hiring manager, I swear, the shit we sift through is insane. Not sure how to disqualify the horde without also leaving the living out there to get devoured.
I have no problem with them. It's just a way to cut the massive chaff. Foreign outsourcers, idiots applying to every posting - I get it. And the bonus is that you hear the actual voice. How many times do you find the interviewee can't string together 2 sentences? Or drifts off into unrelated topics? Or can't pronounce the skill they are a supposed expert in?
I find that being able to work with whatever the employer throws at me is an important job skill. And interview skill. That other folks give up immediately is a big boost to me.
We use workable. It filters out a LOT. even then, they get through. i'd say we get to about 2-3 video screenings a month, and of those 1 make it through every 3 to 6 months for a video interview.
we've been trying to hire for this position for a year. still nothing.
