Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.
Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends’ content. I’m not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.
My company recently released a beta “AI” tool to do similar.
What I’ve found but was 0% surprised by, our documentation has conflicts. It still takes an experienced, knowledgeable person to notice that there’s a conflict, then dive into source documentation to resolve them.
What going to happen is they think they can cheap out on hiring/retaining employees with those abilities.
I would bet a dollar the documentation in nuclear has similar conflicts and similar if not greater experienced human knowledge to resolve them.
I also do auditing/compliance and I would love to be a fly on the wall while they explain the chain of logic and objective evidence that it works leading to offloading tasks to AI.
It actually surprises me to see 46/33. Gut feel, I would have put it closer to 60/20.
Making it even tougher for Frameworks to win a customer like you over, even without 40%+ fuckery in pricing.
This is a hardware startup trying to attract customers away from the likes of Lenova, who has simpler products, a more mature supply chain, and economy-of-scale to their advantage. No way are they pricing to absorb 40%+ with day-to-day swings unless they have to.
Edit up front: there is no evidence article author “Rose Dixon” is a real person. The article is filed under “Garden”. They really need to ratchet down the jingoism dial on their AI slop.
Really hitting the, “rah rah, America is the best” propaganda in this article.
Note that Aziza Almanakly, the lead author of the study, is a PD Soros Fellowship recipient. (Not to be confused with a different person identified as “lead author” later in the article).
Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans provides merit-based funding for New Americans, immigrants and children of immigrants, who are poised to make significant contributions to US culture, society and academia.
Paul Soros is George Soros’ brother and less visible partner.
If the current US administration had their way, the leader of this “American achievement” would be in a prison in El Salvador.
Pool of $300,000 of cryptocurrency?
A developer of a top game can expect $25,000 a week in the cryptocurrency?
So they’re expecting, say, four “top” games for three weeks and then the pool is used up. Feels like a new evolution of crypto scam.
Keep reading. It’s not saying all Westerners migrating are extremists. It says extremists, like neo-Nazis, are among the Westerners migrating.
Yeah, but as government officials. Not as shareholders. Like through a warrant or whatever official process Italy uses.
Can I buy a few shares and get the same access? That would be insane.
Do you know anyone who actively uses Facebook anymore? Not Instagram.
I’m in the US, East Coast, and know no one here who does. I believe I still have one aunt, ages 55+, living in the Midwest, who still uses it. She’s very much the stereotype, she’s been sucked into believing COVID is a conspiracy, all immigrants are dog-eating rapists, and trans people are going to break in to watch her pee in her home bathroom. She represents the average US Facebook user in my mind.
A male colleague was upset he saw a new, wrapped tampon inside another colleagues purse the other day. Like, stopped in his day to complain out loud levels of upset. When he could have just … moved along or even not peeked inside her purse sitting on her desk.
Of course women are and still will face our very existence being censored. Men are the default, women are “other”, and always at the whim of men for just how much they will be allowed to exist in public.
Ok, now do AI. I feel like normal people knew VR was dead again 3+ years ago.
I’ve wanted to learn Dvorak for years but the article hit on it: I’m not and never will be native to it since I already know QWERTY, so won’t ever net the sweetest efficiency gains.
Lol, you don’t know how middle management works, do you. I have been “empowered to find ways to be more efficient” so unfortunately that means no budget for extra resources, use the AI tools that some Jr c-suite asshole pushed to justify his latest promotion.
I did choose to set filters on resumes loosely at the expense of having a larger pool for the video portion. I could have tightened the resume filters, but for this particular job, I decided verbal communication explaining how they used x tool mattered more than how well one copy/pasted keywords from the job posting into the resume. I would probably set filters differently for a different type of job.
I also don’t think it’s “cool” to have a down selected pool of 70. I think it’s a sign the job market is fucked up and getting worse. The job itself is fine; it has one good benefit of paying for just about any advanced degree that can be stretched to sound “job relevant”, but other than that it’s mid.
My company sometimes uses that too. It has your general keyword filtering on resumes, with sensitivity adjustments.
It also has a tool to ask questions, then candidates video record themselves responding (as many retakes as they want) and the hiring manager can review their video so they aren’t bound by a mutual schedule. No AI element to that (yet) that I’m aware of, but could see the potential to screen the videos through an AI filter.
I don’t like the video screening, personally. Neither as an applicant nor as a hiring manager. I’ve only had to use it once as hiring manager where the narrowed down by resume pool of candidates was still 70 people for only one position. I used the damn tool because I didn’t see any other way to filter it down to a number I could conceivably interview live on zoom.
If one is down to 3-5 candidates, AI tools of any sort are inappropriate. As with all things AI, it’s a tool and not an excuse to not do the job.

Yep. Remind him that Kamala Harris has half Indian ancestry and he’ll be ready to colonize it right after Panama, Greenland, and Canada.
I’m not holding my breath. We have a Z that insists no one in her generation wants to put up with the 24/7 availability expected from those who want to advance in our industry. Yet I received emails from her over the weekend.
They’re human, same as the rest of us, and will justify all the bad labor hygiene that older generations have.
