The worst part of job hunting was tailoring your reaume to match a job posting for each job....just to try and get by the AI filters and get humans to look at it.
Once i learned how to fool most HR filters, i started to get calls from companies.
Its all a fucking game
Care to share?
Same here. Is it just listing a bunch of keywords?
"I have optimized the streamlined AI driven deep learning model to predict our maximum net ROI for our start up company."
"I did linear regression to predict sales next month"
And not a single one of those resumes will be from someone that has any loyalty to EPIC. Those employees won't give a shit about the company that pays them, just that they get paid.
So EPIC will continue to lose money by paying top dollar for the most unmotivated of employees. The ones who will collect a check to let management make all the creative decisions, and then leave once that inevitably leads to a dumpster fire. Rinse & repeat with the next place that'll pay more.
Jokes on the EPIC CEO for being so myopic he doesn't seem to understand the reality of this situation. That he's about to pay top dollar for the worst employees imaginable: they ones who won't shake the boat when its clearly already on its way to being capsized.
What are you talking about? EPIC is the one who fired these employees, not the one who is going to receive their resumes. These will be other companies.
Honestly, I do respect the decision to publicly declare that the laid off employees were very good. I've done job searching while laid off and it does suck the suspicion through which you're viewed by interviewers when they ask about it
When I did hiring our HR had some system that did this. It fucking sucked. It passed through so many shit candidates. I eventually ended up just going straight to the discard pile when I had to review applications.
I just don't get all this shit. I'm a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.
Yeah I think some people think laid off and fired are synonyms. I was just low seniority in my union
The EGO on this man "because I hired all of these people, they're amazing. Pay no attention to the fact that I had to lay 1k of them off due to poor planning."
Do the shareholders know? I mean actually though, are they watching? How do these CEOs not get removed for annihilating company futures based on speculative bubbles? Microslop is having the exact same issue with their guy... Can they just not see it somehow? How are they being bamboozled?
Mass Hirings and Firings are all smoke and mirrors for the shareholders. You do a mass hirings to put on the appearance of growth and you do mass firings to put on the appearance of cuttings costs. None of it's real and the shareholders don't seem to care.
Tencent does not care.
Right up there with the 30000 from Amazon.
Yes because everyone who got laid off is seeing once in a lifetime opportunities and not a lot of automated rejections based off of crappy LLM setups.
I got laid off from a large west coast tech firm (rhymes with Crisco) but we were allowed two months to try and find a new job internally. There were hundreds of listings, but the job descriptions were all word-for-word identical and they all referenced artificial intelligence (and this was seven years ago). I never got a single reply to an application and neither did anybody else I knew there.
Ai is going to bankrupt a lot of stupid business owners
The basics are still there: Food, Shelter, Water, Safety Fill one of those needs and forget about the fancy AI silliness.
At this point, the weeding is needed
Good, they'll have to sell off all their shit, and we can get lots of fancy stuff really cheap at their yard sales.
Those rich douchebags are always buying expensive guitars they never learn to play, that's what I'm targeting.
I too collect guitars, I like your logic here.
No, employers will REJECT all those great resumes, because they're firing their best people, too.
All this uncontrolled giddiness about AI is entirely, 100% because they are so excited about the opportunity to FIRE as many disgusting human workers as possible. They have already declared the human workforce dead, and they are replacing us ASAP, often before our computerized replacements are even ready.
Remember all those racists chanting about being replaced? It isn't the Jews, or the immigrants, or whatever was in their pea brains, it's the AI/Robotics that absolutely WILL replace us.
They’re trying to realign tech and software developers from the cool, relaxed, high paid jobs of a decade ago to more “modern” (read: exploited) standards of work.
They're ecstatic that they finally have leverage over thought workers.
I agree with the first two paragraphs, but as for the third, I think you overestimate the capability of chatbots on steroids. I'd even go so far as to say that promoting the whole "imminent replacement for humanity" narrative is doing their marketing for them. It couldn't even run a Taco Bell drivethrough.
oh, so he did it for the corporations? nice
Remember back when this AI Slop jock jagoff was making great games? Feels like an eternity ago.
Unreal and Unreal Tournament, sure. I feel like all of their many sequels saw a continuous decline in quality, but the originals were great games. Can't deny that Gears of War has been influential. Epic Pinball and One Must Fall 2097 were good for a laugh for ten minutes, but I can't help but feel that they'll have aged badly.
Seems crazy to think that Jill of the Jungle, which is an awful game, is what lined their pockets enough to develop the Unreal engine, and they were riding on the success of that all the way up to Fortnite.
my company of 50 went down to 22 because of "AI productivity gainz" - then we had the biggest dip in client retention in its 10 year history and those clients that do remain all have massive issues with getting what they want and there are constant "fire drills" to keep them happy.
Did management have anything to say? How was the dip in client retention measured?
If they're so talented and experienced, then why'd you fire them for no reason? Surely the company expects to continue growing and will need more employees, not fewer.
Weird you'd let all that talent go, then...
