Land lubbers be like "sea monsters aren't real". My matey, feast your eyes upon this rabble:

What do ye mean not real?

[aspiringbabushka]

She is not a sea monster in my eyes. She is a beloved creature of God

Wednesday the 15th. What an excellent day. Middle of the week, middle of the month. Truly, we are in the middle of things.

Love the new Anthropic AI ad that’s like “People have lots of questions about AI. Is it safe? Can it be used to harm us? Will it take all of the jobs? Will it make everything worse? Do we even need it? These are all good questions! Keep asking questions, questions are good.”

Like ok the fact that you didn’t actually have an answer to any of those feels a bit concerning and uh. Does not make me want to go run and use AI

[such-justice-wow]

It also opens with a video of a burning building

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.

[zooperdoopers]

I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)‌

[sufficientlylargen]

Oh, wary dell vone

[zooperdoopers]

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))

Why are jobs allowed to use pseudo-scientific tests as part of a hiring process??

[such-justice-wow]

Like what is this??

This was based off of 54 questions that were maybe 20 questions rephrased repeatedly. This does not tell you if I'm able to an office job

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Hiring departments realized that it's a lot less work to perform Corporate Astrology than to actually figure out if someone is a good fit for a job. Doubly so in cases where they're hiring for jobs they themselves don't have a clear understanding of.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well that's horrifying.

[tornadointhetundra]

Just came across a personality test as part of the initial application process for a job. For an entry level, maybe $20/hr paying job. It asked me stuff that was really personal when they hadnt even interviewed me in person.

If they want, they can ask me those questions during an interview. Until then, it isn’t worth my time to answer an hours worth of questions when I might be ghosted.

[tlaquetzqui]

There should only ever be one questionnaire used in hiring.

[yetanotherdayofdrudgery]

Now I'm going to have to force myself to not call this stuff Corporate Astrology the next time I have to deal with this BS.

Thanks, @supreme-leader-stoat

[rohirric-hunter]

I want you to know I was on the phone with my mom the other day and she asked how my job application was going and without thinking I said, "Well, I'm in the corporate astrology portion of the hiring process," and there was a pause and she said, "Personality tests?"

[supreme-leader-stoat]

See? it intuitively communicates the meaning.
