  • Yeah, get in what you want because in twenty years the greatest thing your brain will enjoy is not processing anything of consequence.

    Could you learn cuneiform and gain a rich understanding of 18th Century Viennese intellectual culture, if you didn’t know anything about that before? Sure.

    *burp* But then you’ll be like “ah, gotta bring in the trash cans and then I can sit.”






  • It’s not just that. HR departments (who, let’s be honest, were never exactly super-clear on what tech roles are or do because they’re busy with everything else) have been infected by AI to the point that no one can just see a job and apply for it unless they rearrange everything in the resume to match the job posting verbiage exactly.

    Everyone who makes it past that hurdle are sorted lowest-to-highest salary requirements. Oh you have seventeen years experience? Fuck you. Everyone after that is sorted by age/race/ whatever. It’s the perfect system for fucking up tech hiring.

    Unless you rebrand everything you do as AI. Then you’ll get 100 million dollars from Zuckabug. (It used to be “cloud” but that was a long time ago now). So the tech manager who knows what they’re looking for gets a bunch of applications from newbies who talk like AI is everything and they don’t want that.

    It’s super fucked.

    Okay but why in that way - during the taping of a show? That doesn’t seem very “planned”. That seems like a desperate rush.

    Over the weekend would have been smoother. Hell, just about any other way would have been smoother.

    They gave Colbert another year.
