Re: Job-seekers are dodging AI interviewers
#492I did one of these once. Once . I felt so bad afterwards that I swore them off forever. It's not like the 'interview' was terrible or anything. I knew it was AI from the start. It was just that when I got done with it, I realized that I had talked at a computer for ~45 minutes. And, yet again, I was going to be ghosted by the company (I was), and that I was never going to get those 45 minutes back. That was time I co…
If they don't have time to meet you, they won't give a damn about you during your employment there. This instinct is 100% in my opinion. Meeting you should be one of the most crucial human in the loop events.
I mean, for me it was definitely a sign that the company wasn't a fit.
If they tried automating away one fo the most critical aspects of the company (hiring) then what else was being left out?

#493Take this entire paragraph and read carefully, and it explains how to kill this trend: > “The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,” Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers, tells Fortune. “If there were a large portion of the job-seeking community that were wholesale rejecting this, our clients wouldn’t find the tool useful… This thing would…
If you need a job in a tough job market you can't really afford to be picky about the opportunities. If I need a job I'm willing to put up with just about anything to get it, because the alternative is potential financial ruin for my family in a country with weak social safety nets. The last entry level job my company posted got over two thousand applicants in less than 24 hours before they paused submissions. I don'…
> From a company perspective, the AI interviews don't even have to work well, they just have to get that massive number down to something vaguely manageable.
Rule out everyone who isn't already local to the job location. That's an easy filter right there.

Reminds me of the time a company wanted me to take an IQ test.
Was it Canonical?
Back in 2018 Bullhorn ATS tried this on me, and even asked me to retake it because the recruiter said “you didn’t score high enough” despite passing the actual interview.
Re: Job-seekers are dodging AI interviewers
#495I am actually quite surprised there isn't a service out there that will use ai to do the interview for an applicant (at least that I know of).
I mean if the hiring company has so little respect for the process why should the interviewee.

I’m not that surprised. To reach the level of billionaire, it’s pretty much a requirement that you abandon all empathy and ethics. What’s surprising is that nobody in their circle has educated them on the concept of a win-win. These people could be folk heros, universally loved and respected in ways buying a social media platform and banning all the haters will never accomplish.
That's what's so incredibly stupid about the tariffs, immigration crackdowns, etc. Life is not a zero-sum game, and treating it like it is just makes it worse for everyone - unless you're the sort of person who really gets off on having other suffer worse than you.
A group of people who all agree that life is not a zero-sum game and cooperate effectively based on that premise will be very efficient, productive, and outcompete other groups.
They are also a honeypot begging to be exploited by bad actors for whom life is a zero-sum game. Once a critical mass of those asshats show up, all of the trust that led to the greater efficiency and productivity breaks down.
Greater trust between good actors is efficient but opens the door to free riders. Lower trust is inefficient but handles bad actors. I think basically all of human history is a meandering line around this unstable equilibrium of trust.

Most job seekers don't have the luxury of choice.
The good ones do. Companies may not see problems initially, but they may eventually find their candidate quality has dropped.

Then why did you claim the argument falls apart, but then proceed to retell the very argument you claim fell apart? If you read the comment in isolation I could at least understand your confusion, but you state that isn't the case.
Because "But if I don't need anything from you — because, say, magical AIs are already giving me everything I could ever hope and dream of — I have no reason to become indebted to you" and "With no need for someone else to do something for him, there is no need for him to sell to anyone else" implies that consumption is purely transactional which I argued against. In other words, AI can't ever give you everything you…

Modern police and military gear is so advanced that revolution is unrealistic.
If they want to try their hand and unleash the first American genocide in history, that may be the cost for people to wake up. too many cameras and live uploading about to bury hundreds, maybe thousands of citizens being shot down in cold blood.
"First American genocide?" Maybe ask a Native American about that...if you can find one.
