    It didn’t go haywire. At all. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, which is parrot what the applicant said, after LLM grammar collection, to make sure the bot heard it right. The fact that these bots are bonkers dumb is a fact, but it didn’t “go haywire”.

    I’m still in utter shock that companies use this shit. Human resources, ffs. Human.

        That is very important to understand, and a lot of people don’t get that. Another thing people don’t understand is that HR is not there to serve you, they are there to protect the company from you.

        AI resources can have their word. Let’s build out a storage closet into a tiny office, stick the server with all the locally hosted models on there, give it a separate internet access for the cloud-hosted ones and let them sit in there and have all the words they want with their beloved text generstors. They know a lot or words. All the destroyed books have to have gone somewhere, after all.

      thank you. I read the thread and watched the video expecting some bonkers ramblings from an LLM that had somehow been jailbroken or something.

      What I actually watched is the system working as designed (more or less) and basically wasted 30s of my life watching the modern equivalent of some rando entering garbage answers into a company’s digital resume entry form.

      I’m as sceptical of LLMs as the next man, but honestly this creator isn’t exactly doing their narrative any favours.

      We don’t put oil in charge of oil resources, we don’t put gold in charge of gold resources, we don’t put water in charge of water resources, so why would humans be in charge of human resources?

      I was hiring for an entry level position a few months ago. Service desk type work. I either got people who were fabricating their CV to get an interview or insanely over qualified. It took a LONG time to hire the right guy.

      At no point did I ever think, gee I wonder if I can get AI to read these CVs or do the interview for me. Christ knows what I would have ended up with.

        Isn’t it remotely concerning to you that you are getting people who are over qualified for a job? Even if you don’t use AI to interview people everyone else is using AI to interview people or straight up replacing people with AI.

        I think we’re finished either way.

        You never know though, maybe the government will grow a brain and come up with universal income.

          They typically won’t take the job or won’t like the job. You don’t want to hire someone for a position if they don’t actually want that specific position, because there’s a reason that’s the vacancy. Both candidate and HR have to judge if it fits

            That’s the excuse they give yes. But given the current job market and the fact that the person is applying for the job, they may not like the job but they’re probably not going to be able to find anything better so there is little risk to the company.

            The real reason they don’t want to hire over qualified people is because they’re likely to raise up in the ranks and become a problem for the recruiters themselves. Has anyone ever met a genuinely competent HR person?

              The real reason from what I’ve heard is that people will apply for any job, yes, but they’ll also leave right away once they find a better job. So for HR to hire somebody overqualified, they have to really be desperate.

              Could be that, but that would also be legitimate, wouldn’t it? And it could also mean it’s not the right fit, or the candidate will pursue a different offer, or leave soon, or want a different position soon, or all kinds of other problems.

          Not really. You don‘t want people get bored at their job. That comes with a lot of other problems if this happens.

          Payment is according to the job level not according to the qualification.

            You want to tell developers from mass layoffs trying to pay rent that they would be ‘bored’ in a lower paying job? Or they are effectively blacklisted for being ‘overqualified’ in a slop addicted job market that refuses to pay for that expertise?

            Excuse me but fuck all that. HR can absolutely make it clear if there is no-expectation of upward movement or pay increase for the job. Sure HR can and should give lesser experienced applicants a chance if they meet the criteria, but outright denying one based on being ‘over-qualified’ is, and always has been, bullshit.

              This is why I always lie. I’m being offered no incentive to give them a truthful representation of my job history, so I don’t.

              If you’re over qualified for a position just pretend that you worked at Tesco’s the entire time of your previous job. It’s not like they check this stuff, and anyway places like that have such turnover but no one will be able to actually prove you didn’t work there without going through all the paperwork, and the teenage manager isn’t going to bother to do that.

                But some places actually do background checks and will rescind your employment if you lied about your job history. My current employer required tax stubs going back like 8 years. And this is a private sector employer as well.

              I’m as frustrated with this job market as anyone but let’s be realistic. Filling a role takes a lot of time and energy. Nobody involved in the process wants to repeat it in a few weeks or months. They have every incentive not to waste time with applicants that have any reason not to stick around.

        I want to work.

        I just want to work building and fixing bicycles.

        Unfortunately, I can’t make enough money doing that in my area without being attached to a company. If I could work out of my garage, that’d be great. I already have all the tools I’d need.

          You should try it part time if you’re able. You might be surprised. At least in my area there is a growing demand for good bicycle mechanics.

          I started fixing stuff out of my garage ~10yr ago to make some extra cash between jobs and it became my career.

    Please hear me when I tell you that hiring is super fucked. Specifically, or especially, in IT.

    Hugely profitable corporations laying off thousands is a crime.

    Oh so they are now using AI to screen out the AI, but now the applicants are going to use AI avatars to talk to AI avatars on the other side thus showing the insane progress in efficiency AI has created. Efficient at gobbling up energy anyway.

    Two plumes of gauze and then the raccoon protocol.

    First quarter, but sideways. Drill bit. You know?

    That was gold.

    I do this sort of thing as an exercise for writing, in an attempt to free my mind. Write grammatically correct sentences, that make no sense.

    Honestly, maybe it’s time to go back to the days of submitting your application in person.

    I think that’s better for everyone at least for local jobs, anyway.
