Is anyone supposed to take seriously anything else you say now that you've claimed that astrology works? You might as well be claiming we can predict the future by looking at bird entrails.

That's really entirely up to each person, and none of my business really.
I will say that, although I make mistakes, I never lie, and rarely exaggerate. I don't participate in HN to talk nonsense.
Now then, yes, some people can predict the future by divination of entrails. Thankfully this particular mode has become quite rare.
All forms of divination work, BTW, and have the same underlying motive.

Anyway, did you look at that PDF? If so, what did you think?
I don't know anything about them before today.
Did you see https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/talks/MIT-STS-AI-snake... which they link to in their report? It seems pretty solid to me.

Yeah, humans can, sometimes, but that doesn't mean these systems can.

First off, astrology does work, depending on the astrologer.
Second, yes, if people were selling astrology to HR departments to screen candidates I think we should ban that.
