Hallucinations galore. It is supposed to personalize responses since it has access to my main gmail account. It thought I was a woman and working in healthcare. Pretty wildly off.

One would think the company is doing something state-of-the-art moonshot worthy. But, no.

“ Rilla, a New York-based tech business which sells AI-based systems that allow employers to monitor sales representatives when they are out and about, interacting with clients.”

Which idiots are giving away their lives for this.

What is the industry opinion on ngrok? They seem to be in a market where their product is considered a commodity and there are many alternatives.

Honestly, if companies cared enough about the interviewees time as well, people wouldn’t do this. I was looking for a few months, and companies put you through the wringer of 6-9 interviews these days. Two should tell you whether a candidate is a good fit or not. Then there’s the case interviews where candidates put in dozens of hours prepping decks and what not, and then get rejected without any feedback at all.

And this was exclusively at SMBs and startups. At least, the FAANG companies have structure and you know what to expect.

Yep; meant opt-in, by default

It's under Settings ->Data Privacy -> How LinkedIn uses your data ..

There was no announcement about this. It's opt-out by default.

What else do they do with the user data besides ads targeting? Serious question.

None of this is surprising. I wouldn’t say they are disconnected, unless they were already born with a silver spoon and have never had to live like the rest of us. I would say they know how it is for the rest of us, but just don’t care.

That’s been their game plan all along. I think Ring pro was free for Prime members. Now, we need to pay a subscription. Amazon Video used to be free. Now, there’s ads.

I've been considering using a second webcam stream focused on my screen just to assure hiring managers that I don't have ChatGPT on my screen, or anywhere else. Kind of like chess players do it sometimes on online tournaments. I've been hearing people complain about cheating a lot.
