Lol no, CEOs are overated, they don't contribute much to anything. Open AI will be just fine.

Talking about the interview process...I know you are talking about suspect police interviews, but job interviews is another space where crackpot pseudo-science and shit propietary tech such as IA pre-screening have a prominent say as well, for the worse

Re:KPIs for Software Engineers
on Monday July 17, 2023 @08:18AM (#36757326)
...and attitudes like these are why most Software Engineering theory is BS. We refuse to measure things in a reproducible way, and would rather stick with subjective pre-scientific concepts such as "clean code" and hit-or-miss rules of thumb for project estimation. You need an objective way of measuring and testing whether your hypothesis (be it that clean codes improves maintainability, or that X strategy is reducing dev churning) is true, and good KPI's are that.

What will happen regarding food: we (third world countries) will receive a massive wave of immigrants from those civilized first world countries who just mutually annihilated themselves like savages. This almost certainly will trigger further wars and famine around here. So yes, as the article says, there will be no winners. The entire world will lose.

GPT being used by candidates is not a problem, it doesn't need fixing. Candidates are only defending themselves from a garbage pseudo-scientific, long, and needlessly excruciating recruiting process. Now, THAT needs to be fixed.
