🔗 AI Avatars Are Doing Job Interviews Now

For the longest time I have argued against the thoughtless deployment of ATS systems in corporations.

Downside for corporates - totally miss the nuance of people and their ‘particular sets of skills’ because they are over simplifying what they think they are looking for.

Downside for people - your resume and cover letter are no longer enough - you know need to think about tuning yourself with keywords to ensure you are fully ‘Search Engine Optimised’.

The whole thing is just one giant mess that benefits nobody.

Me previously …

Gone to exploits, every one.

🔗 Wearisome and Dissipating - by Stowe Boyd - Work Futures

It’s interesting to me that leaders of companies who have disrupted entire industries by “breaking the box” and solving problems in new ways are so committed to “doing work” the same way it’s been done for the last 50 years.

🪦 Sorry to read the news Maggie. Thankyou.


Funny to think that this view has been pretty much identical for around 600 years - and yet, had you been here 650 years ago and then then came back, you’d hardly recognize the place.


Seriously?

Kafka - who should know better - and Vox - FFS (I paraphrase the sentiment of a gushing podcast)

The Facebook Glasses are so good that they are taking Apple head on - for less money.

Later on we learn that these glasses are

  • unlikely to see the light of day,
  • possibly in 3 to 10 (TEN - not a typo) years before a version is likely to be released,
  • estimated cost per pair is $10,000 - to MANUFACTURE.

Thats three times the price that apple are selling at - and of course we all know that Apple will never release a version two of their product - I mean they are done. Aren’t they?

Dear Liminal - it is clear that you take your security very seriously ….

I try to log in and you won’t let me

So I hit forgot password and enter my email

You tell me account doesn’t exist

So I try to sign up with my email

You tell me Email already exists

Which is it?

This story has been in and out of the news for YEARS.

And here it is surfacing again.

Time to DO something about it.

Dear Siri - or what ever the Apple ‘Intelligence’ is behind Apple Contacts - please stop asking me to add ‘this new contact’ - their number is the same as in the system - it’s just that you think

You didn’t used to be like this.


When I read

‘Ellison gets jail time’

I immediately thought ‘what’s he done now’ - and then I wondered why I hadn’t read anything about it - and then decided it was one of those click bait headlines that then got me to wondering how they would connect the story to the headline.

Easy Answer.

The story was about Caroline Ellison. 🤦‍♂️


Observation

I am mainly a Safari boy- with other browsers around me for when I need them - which is less and less - except today I got to thinking.

Been working a LOT in Airtable and find myself hanging waiting for copy and paste or sorting or grid to form view etc

I had been putting it all down to Airtable and/or Connectivity.

I tried Chrome today and it is SCREAMING. ZERO issues.

Which makes me wonder if things I put up with in Safari might also be improved using Chrome or similar.

My problem is that I really do like Safari.

I have also been thinking more and more about Arc - and it is faster than Safari on Airtable - but still not as good as Chrome.

Do I sell my soul?
