Imagine paying to sit and listen to a 90 minute team meeting that could have been an email.

If you're paying to work a job, it's a scam, they are never going to pay you

I wouldn't be surprised if that effectively happens in some industries, specifically in the arts or sports where there are tons of applicants chasing a dream. There is a reason why people know of the casting couch.

That said, I really don't see that happening in any IT, science, medical, or engineering field anytime soon. Unlike in the arts, I don't see how an industry which needs a certain level of technical competence will find it so widely available that people would pay them for experience.

HOTL - Humans in the Loop... nice acronym 🤦

The system must be abolished.

Controversial take: it's called fuck off, her specifically in this case. And anyone else spouting this bullshit in the future. They will not build a good future for anyone but themselves. Sociopaths.

Nationalize all AI projects immediately

It’s literally her job to sell her “AI” but she makes it sound like the worst idea.

there are already a thing called 'paid internship' where you pay and work for them. fuck this shit

So you can never leave the job because your "education" is worthless anywhere else. You'll have to pay another employer for their training on the same subjects instead.

Hot take, everything she said is extremely out of touch with reality.

They could even lend you the money you need to pay for that training, how nice of them! Then, when you do start getting paid, they can take repayment (with interest) directly from your paycheck. How convenient!

They could also pay people in a form of crypto that's only accepted at the store in town that happens to be owned by the same people as your employer. Try trading that crypto for real cash, and you're fired.

They could even provide a place for your family to live, how nice! It's too bad if you found a cheap place to live elsewhere, it's in your contract now: gotta live in company housing if you want to work for the company. They'll take the rent right out of your paycheck too. How convenient.

Now if you even mention the word "union," in one fell swoop, they can't take your job, your home and your ability to buy food for yourself and your family.

None of this is new. People in West Virginia (and elsewhere, of course) gave their lives so that we could move on from this shit as a society.

Those people would be sickened by what their chickenshit state has become, but that's besides the point...

Kids did not "learn how to use the internet" they learned how to use Google products, Apple products, and Meta products. These things are intentionally designed to PREVENT the user from learning any generalizable knowledge or transferrable skills.

Go ask the next kid you see what a file is, and despair.

Who wants to bet she had a trust fund?

Controversial take: anyone who pushes for this needs to be lined up against a wall and shot

The whole kids will learn ai like they learn the Internet is a terrible take, on top of all the other terrible takes. The youngest of us right now often have devices that 'just work' and they fall flat if the device doesn't work.

This is why my kid gets hand me downs barely running an os. If they can't fix it, it's still mine.

(Realistically, the pc they use is a 10 year old Windows machine, and the good pc is running Bazzite, so once they yearn for fps, they need to learn how to use it)

I can see a version of this where the government subsidizes the costs of recruiting entry-level

What a fucking moron.

They really don't realize how much admiring AI is revealing their own general professional uselessness.

Edit: People who don't regret the things AI lacks - are signaling that they don't have it, and don't have access to it in their professional networks. To begin with, that's sad. But when they post publicly about it, they're revealing that they aren't even aware of what they're not bringing to their teams.

AI grifter shills their grift, more news at 5

Sees bat-shit insane take on AI in the future, looks underneath:

Cooper AI Co. Founder

Right, so she's another grifter riding the bubble, looking for AI deranged ~~executives~~ suckers to burn their money on her company's tokens.

I would love to watch the companies that do this collapse from being entirely top heavy when their AIs bleed them dry with tokens and there's no humans left to carry them.

So if I were walking down the street and saw this person slip off the curb in front of an oncoming bus, I would think very carefully about whether or not saving their life would be a good thing for the humane race in the long term.

On the other hand, this post is seems disturbingly prescient. I will not be surprised if I see such educational opportunities being offered in the near future. In fact, I expect to see more posts like this as a way to test the waters or maybe desensitize people to the idea.

What a looney tunes.

Used to be you bought positions, like I'm the army, for the amount of money you could buy a house for.

Jenny K needs to speak to St. Luigi

Where the fuck is Luigi.
