And who actually makes that much? Or are you counting also VC money into that "profit"?
And pretty much most of them just resell OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Meta's APIs and model access, with something repackaged on top. And none is remotely profitable.
And which use case will that make sense then for? Esp. when they aren't even sure whether they will commit to offering this long term? Who would be insane enough to build a product on top of something that may not be…
Just going to put this here: https://www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-money/
Costs money (travel) and time (company's) plus a lot of this is outsourced to agencies to do the screening. Yes, it is disgusting. Sadly also very common.
Except that 99% of engineers aren't being hired by Google nor being paid on comparable levels. So why is Google relevant to this in any way?
This zinger I have to remember for the next time someone tries this whiteboard BS on me!
>Interview coding questions aren't like the day-to-day job, because of the nature of an interview. You have missed his point. If the interview questions are such that AI can solve them, they are the wrong questions…
I miss one option from the list of non-solutions the author presents there - ditch the idiotic whiteboard/"coding exercise" interview style. Voila, the AI (non)problem solved! This sort of comp-sci style exam with…
It is not about "being taught". But if you are the only technical person around, who is going to show you what a good or bad practice *in your specific field* is? That you won't find on Stack Overflow or by asking…
If you want to grow you will need to change jobs. Small companies are not a good fit for a fresh grad with little to no experience. In a small company you are by necessity a jack of all trades because there are only so…
Good luck with that when you are not at the stage of your career yet to have enough experience to judge what is good practice - and what is hype, BS and liable to cause problems for your project. Having a good mentor or…
And venture capital.
I.e. long story short - are you saying that this tech is a solution looking for a problem? Makes sense.
The mistake in that article is the assumption that these companies collecting those gigantic VC funding rounds are looking to stay ahead of the pack and be there even 10 years down the road. That's a fundamental…
Well, yes. Replace the various music and book publishing mills with LLMs for even more low quality drivel filling the marketplaces because now even the already low barrier of having to actually pay someone to produce it…

Standard procedure? Maybe. Common? Definitely. Normal? Absolutely not. It signals loud and wide that your time is not worth even a reply from the recruiter/HR and you are being treated as a disposable piece of crap. You…
It is good that you are rooting for the poor industry because they are "being screwed". Sad that you didn't consider the content creators, people who's faces, voices, writings, art, personal information, etc. are being…
Web scraping through a proxy to hide your own address is a shady business, by definition. So the "doesn't harm other people" bit is an oxymoron, IMO.
There was also an actively exploited XSS vulnerability on Github in the recent days. Doesn't mean that this guy was not a malicious actor, only that one shouldn't be so quick to cast stones without evidence.
It is next to impossible to detect despite being so crude. Unless there is an explicit suspicion, nobody is going to systematically check all your citations and papers. There are simply too many of these things to do…
The problem is that tests do not ensure that high quality students are admitted. Tests measure only that you are good at answering tests under heavy stress and at cramming for them. The whole teaching/learning to test…
