<p>His example of writing your own automation to read resumes is actually a terrible use case.<p>AIs are very good at writing tools that convince other AI that your resume is the best, when in fact its complete bullshit.<p>I do agree with his idea overall, recently at work we've had QA (as in pharmacy QA) wanting to use Claude to help automate some pipelines between PowerBI and Sharepoint. Was cool to see people who are not very technical pick up Claude Code. Of course agent safety is the big problem really..</p>

<p>This is simply untrue, and honestly anyone who thinks our legal system does not provide justice needs to go travel the world to see how it really works for 80% of the global population.<p>All we really need in the US is for arbitration to be optional, you can start with arbitration but if you believe on good merits you have a case and fail arbitration you should have the right to your day in court.<p>Throwing out our whole legal system because sometimes the lawyers make the most money is reductionist at best.</p>

<p>I've been telling people to be thankful the posts are blatantly AI.<p>Soon enough it will be harder and harder to tell, and all their feedback is being scraped to improve the next model.<p>This already demonstrates 2-3 extra sentences of prompting and you get a completely different style that is harder to call out.</p>

<p>One of the things I keep running into in day to day work is that it seems increasingly thin the labor pools in the USA.<p>For example, getting developers with strong Healthcare / Pharmacy experience, with robotics to boot is nearly impossible. There's probably only 1,000 in the whole country. So we're forced to train up people. Our pay is quite competitive, for those wondering.<p>I can only imagine humanoid robotics is in even worse shape, and meanwhile in China theres probably one company with 1,000 engineers in it by itself. With 10 others all competing.<p>As more and more Boomers, and soon Gen X retire, we're going to be absolutely cooked on skilled labor.</p>

<p>Always funny to me how people expected Google to do anything else other than roll over.<p>Should be a lesson to the dems next term, either extort the tech giants, the mere threat of the government taking action against Google makes them jump on these dumb name changes. Otherwise, get them on their side to change the law to prevent this kind of shit show ever again.<p>It's pretty clear you could do serious damage to a corporation as the president and get away with it, and that should change.</p>
