Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit and is now exploring new vistas in social media.

  • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

    Jump

  • Not so obscure that Meta isn't paying attention and planning for interoperation, and Meta is one of the biggest players in the AI development field.

    A complete data set isn't required, just a comprehensive one.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • I actually was on the job market just a few months back for the first time in 15 years. Those sorts of comedy postings are not common. It's true that often the position doesn't require as much experience as the "dream candidate" they're asking for in the job posting, but A) they're aware of that, and B) they take that into account when screening resumes. Lying on your resume is not required, it's only going to waste everyone's time if you do.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • And I'm pretty doubtful that OP would be capable of producing usable work. He says it himself, he's being deceptive about his abilities.

  • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

    Jump

  • They can't do the work without the data, though.

    Or rather, they can't do the work without the risk of Reddit raising a legal fuss that would cost them more than $60 million. The data itself can already be downloaded for free from various places.

    Jump

  • Step one in succeeding in a job is passing the interviews and getting that job.

    OP was just wasting everyone's time, both his own and the interviewers.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • OP said "Of course I don’t make it past 1 or 2 interviews in such cases." So it seems pretty straightforward that he wasn't qualified, as in he wasn't going to succeed in those roles.

  • The value comes from the work that can be done with it. If you can train an AI off it then it's worth something.

  • Poland's new government deprograms its once far-right public media

    Jump

  • Nice to hear some solidly good news like this.

  • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

    Jump

  • Right. But my point is that they can profit from it. The issue lots of folks seem to be having is "how dare Reddit make money using something I did!", and that issue is even worse for the Fediverse since lots of companies can be doing it.

  • Israel says it will launch Rafah assault if hostages not freed by Ramadan

    Jump

  • If Hamas didn't exist then I'm sure that Israel would find some way to invent them.

  • Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

    Jump

  • It's worrisome, but it's not exactly the same.

    We'll see whether they get abusive, and whether the Federal antitrust laws will come in and nearly dismantle the company like they did to Microsoft.

  • Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

    Jump

  • I want it, and I want it in a browser that isn't controlled by Google.

  • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

    Jump

  • Instead you're posting to the Fediverse, which is even more open for use by third parties.

  • Threat Actors Exploring Large Language Models for Cyberattacks, Microsoft and OpenAI Report

    Jump

  • You think Microsoft is the only organization capable of producing these tools? They weren't even the first.

  • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

    Jump

  • I don't see anything in the article related to elections.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • Why are you applying for jobs that you're not qualified for? Even if you BS your way through the interviews you'll have to actually do the work.

  • Threat Actors Exploring Large Language Models for Cyberattacks, Microsoft and OpenAI Report

    Jump

  • I am baffled that you appear to be attacking Microsoft over this. They're doing research to counter bad actors here.

  • Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models

    Jump

  • Fortunately there are a lot of open source models these days too.

  • Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

    Jump

  • Fortunately they may not really be able to. Reddit's comments and submissions are available here, and since this includes deleted content as well as the stuff that users have later edited away with scripts it may even be a better resource than what Reddit is offering itself. You'd need to train your AI in a legally permissive environment, of course, but there's places like that around the world and this is actually something that would advantage the "little guys" since they aren't as easy to target.
