ramraj07 went on to clarify that they were advocating for putting the onus for cleanup back on mess generators.

They clearly were not advocating for flat out refusing.


Devils advocate: what if a facial recognition system with a large enough database can always find an unrelated/innocent person that looks similar enough to convince the human?


I’ve been screaming this too https://qht.co/item?id=47212237

It’s refreshing to see the same sentiment from so many other people independently here.

The “Firefighter Becomes Arsonist” Organizational Anti-Pattern


I mean really most companies have a backlog of feature ideas a mile long, and some tool comes along making your employees 40% more efficient, and the best thing you can think to do is the exact same thing at the exact same tempo but with fewer employees?

The CEO who thinks that way should be replaced due to incompetence, or at least due to lack of vision and imagination.


For fun, ask your preferred LLM (or perhaps a google search would also work?) for specific questions that lifestyle polygraph interviewers typically ask to throw you off your rhythm or to establish a baseline for later questions. No joke, it's an absolute riot.

More seriously, I'd be reluctant to take a polygraph-based job. If the very concept is flaky and you fail out at the beginning, no big deal. But I'm not sure I'd want to invest in a career in which something that flaky could on its own start creating career problems for you years or decades in.


I don't think current employment law allows, but as a software candidate I'd much rather assess the company/team fit on a trial basis as well. (Am neither a lawyer nor HR)

I wonder what some solutions might be?


I deleted my account after many years when X recently made the Chronological Feed setting ephemeral, defaulting back to the Algorithmic Feed each time the page is refreshed.

No away I'm going to let that level of outrage-baiting garbage even so much as flash before my eyes.


I just click "following" at the top and never see anything I didn't ask to see. It resets once every few months to the other tab which I assume is just the cookie setting expiring.


Train it: I just have to spend 3 minutes every other year to tap the 3 dots on every post and choose "Not Interested", for an epic feed unmatched anywhere.


Train the algorithm so that you can be the sort of product you want to see in the world


I don’t disagree, nor do I have any solution but man, 1-2 years is a LONG time when you start a new gig and can tell within 1-2 weeks that it’s not a good fit.
