Also, they often don’t read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn’t read the memo (and didn’t even read my CV), assumed I can’t do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.
Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that’s the point.
Even if you don’t complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

Right?
Not by Putin, but the most brutal I know in the history was for the previous Japanese Emperor in 1948. They executed A-class war criminals (his father’s cronies) on his birthday. The most shocking part imo is that he was only becoming 15.
Killed acquaintances of a kid on his birthday omg…

Also, you’re gonna miss unique talents because all it does is to learn typical good candidates. No way you’ll find Jobs!

I just didn’t like it. I couldn’t believe it was the right thing to do. Turned out, I don’t regret turning down BS.
Sure, diff tools aren’t meant for this. At least you could try dedicated backup tools like borg.
Another thing: schedule the backup to happen while you sleep or have lunch.

The sad truth is that malicious parties (dictatorships) will get more training materials because they won’t abide by rules. The end result is, dictators would outperform democracies in terms of future generation AIs, if we treat AI training like human reading.
