The CBS article missed the two main reasons I see. The first is to pretend to do a market search when the job is really being filled internally (usually for regulated entities). The second is to harvest CV’s so that when an expensive headhunter presents a good candidate, they can say that the person is already in their database, and so not pay the headhunter.
Given the state of the market and LinkedIn in particular, using an LLM to auto-apply for jobs might just go down in my books as the first legit use for them.
trying to translate phrases and even single words with google search seem to lead to more and more nonsenses like this (though google translate itself seems mostly ok so far); its eating itself and reaches the point of completly uselessness fast.
I haven’t used it in years. Except for the one case which is finding out what rubbish students are seeing.
I had to find a video yesterday in a healthcare setting and they had, written out, some incredibly long You Tube channel advertising link. Using you tubes search (or Google as others did) it was unfindable as the algorithm wasn’t surfacing that particular parasitic bottom feeder. Using Kagi the correct health service series of videos turned up immediately. With no ads of course.
Stop using Google! What has to happen to make people stop? It’s been shit for years. It’s deliberately shit.
I don’t. Who needs a hundred web searches a month? Particularly if you don’t need ten trying to find the magic incantation that unlocks the puzzle?
As I’ve said here multiple times I avoid searching “the web” in the first place in favour of going directly to the actual place and looking for it there, I use DDG most of the time, it returned Google SEO junk for this (not helped by the fact that the public health system is confused by Google seo crap too).
I’m going to use it and pay for it in work though. I meant to before I’ve just not got around to it for some reason.
My credit card will be out on Monday morning and I’ll look into how to get it for my team.
As shit as it is, I still use google (udm=14) as I’ve yet to find anything that can replace it. I give DDG a try for a month or two every now and then but always end up using google again. DDG works for me mostly (It’s been a while since I’ve tried it), but doesn’t give me the results I’m looking for when searching for some things. I’ll have to give it a shot again because I don’t like google at all.
“A student was telling me, ‘You say there isn’t a book about mushrooms in Manitoba, but no, there is. I saw it on Amazon yesterday,’” he said.
“It was $20. I told myself, ‘Why not?’ So I bought it. The book is very strange.”
Yes, but when it’s generated by machine-learning rather than being coded by hand it somehow provides the folks who use the discriminatory program with plausible deniability.
its so weird that this generated picture is even used as “evidence” to “proof” the “failed” response of the government/fema (besides being fake); I mean, the girl sits in a boat, has a lifevest on and her puppy save in her hands. where is the failed response here?
