Bullshit artists

Oh, what a wonderful discussion!

A LOT of people are far worse at interviewing than they think they are. And so, a bullshit artist can get hired. Technology now allows these bullshit artists to propagate more, and do more damage than would have previously be possible. AI in the workplace is a similar problem. Can you tell the different between someone who really just leans on ChatGPT all day but is actually incompetent? Probably so, but someone who was that incompetent just wouldn’t have previously been able to hang on for quite as long, or deceive so many people.

Bullshit artists! What a wonderful name.

The article itself, Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say is probably not worth even reading. As always.

To be fair, I could probably replace children with running a company on the side and still end up less sleep deprived.

Oh, yeah, indeed. Before kids, I’ve been working all day long, 16 hours easily. And I wasn’t even close to the exhaustion I have today, just having kids.
