  • You're Not Bad At Job Hunting—30% Of Job Postings Are Fake

    Jump

  • "These phantom job postings aren't just wasting your time. They're stalling your career while destroying your confidence."

    The most ghastly AI phrase, gave up reading right there.

  • I mean, it cited the exact line in the other hospitals EA, that's what deep research mode does. Methinks you don't know how far chatgpt has come, and are just basing it off of the original models?

  • helping along the death of the internet

    Am I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn't mean one should ban the hammer.

    You may not contribute to scraped sites

    I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.

    I like gathering information

    Unless you're doing your own physical research on every possible query and question, you're just as complicit as an AI user for gathering secondary information. You reading a blog post on a topic is no better than me reading an AI summary of 1,000 blog posts.

    Bubble bursts

    That's like getting angry at McDonalds for the 80s recession, because a bunch of secondary investors bet on it's perpetual success. Thats not the fault of McDonalds OR LLMs.

    These are lazy, illogical complaints about a new technology from reactionary conservative thinking, the same thing was said about the internet when you were younger, of TV when your parents were younger, and of the radio, and of the phonograph, and of the camera etc etc. Get with the times OLD MAN.

  • I mean, sure, if you use it to write an essay of course it's gonna impede knowledge retention. But that's the equivalent of going "the ctrl-c/ctrl-v command is associated with reduced pre-frontal cortex activation".

    I mean, I don't care if people refuse to get on board with new tech, but it screams a lack of understanding of the tech. People are going "musk bad, Altman bad, tech bro bad" and going "therefore chatgpt bad".

    Na chatgpt good, handy, I fed it my current Employee Enterprise Agreement and the previous 2, and asked via deep research for a comparison of them all, against comparable businesses to see if our pay increases were fair. Ive got a meeting today to argue for increases, after ChatGPT found that we were a little under. What a brilliant tool!

  • Part of the learning process is working and searching for an answer

    That logic can be used to poo-poo literally any study aid. Why is watching a YouTube video on how to tamp a post superior to a chatgpt summary?

    Why take the train when you should "expend an iota of effort" and make the 3 hour walk to work?

    This is unsound logic that I expect on Reddit, not Lemmy. Go continue your crusade against the spinning jenny, small-minded Luddite.

  • Chatgpt helped me build my garden beds, build a lamp out of an old telephone, learn Japanese grammar quirks, improve lacklustre recipes, look after my plants and stop my dog from barking. That's this month.

    I could have gone to Reddit or blogs and scrounged around for hours/days to find that info, but chatgpt had already aggregated it and neatly presented it.

    The Luddites who refuse to use AI are simply that. You either don't understand it's weaknesses and learn to work around them, or you're becoming your techphobic grandparents.

  • We tried that in NZ, then conservatives got in power and just pressed ctrl z. Their argument was that tobacco taxes provided more income than that lost to public healthcare, but that was just a boldfaced lie.

    Conservatives are literally a cancer on society.

  • The obvious feedback is be honest and tell them, but then again Indian parents are a different deal. My friend is now married to an Indian girl, and they lied about their relationship for about a year. She was "hanging out with friends" pretty much every weekend. She was "looking forward to sharing a bed after the wedding". And it worked out for them, she didn't get her relationship meddled in and they're none the wiser.

  • Lucky. I think about my own mortality literally every single night, it's become a pattern that I have to just stop thinking about, like, block that thought, think about something else otherwise panic.

    I hate hate hate that I'm going to die, I will rage against it for as long as I live (hopefully forever as CRISPR will allow... Right?)

  • Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

    Jump

  • After the rate hikes in 2022, capital flight exceeded the additional revenue raised by the higher rates. And Norway had incentivised local governments to have a stake in the wealth tax which aided in the responsibility of the tax, something I haven't read France propose.

    Jump

  • Ah, you're one of the morons who thinks a billionaire has a bank account filled with $1,000,000,000, just sitting idly, waiting to be added back into the economy by the government.

    Good luck France, here's hoping you're the ONE country who can successfully institute a wealth tax.

  • Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

    Jump

  • "There's been plenty of historical examples where taxing the wealthy has worked". And yet they literally tried it IN FRANCE and it didn't work, France is literally the example used for capital flight.

    What a lazy rebuttle, "you're doing the work of billionaires", lazy and without substance. But if you require a pledge of allegiance to the lower classes before I can talk tax: Idgaf if France decides to wealth tax every dime until billionaires earn $20 an hour. There you go.

    Wealth taxes are extremely hard to implement. You're hand waving off-shore holdings like, "nations can enforce tax". Tell that to Ireland. Not to mention the costs involved with determining "wealth".

    A wealth tax sounds lovely and appeals to voters, but it historically just doesn't fly. A VAT on luxury goods is way easier, cheaper, less risky, and achieves a lot of the same goals. It's just a lot harder to sell to mugs like you.
