ML / DS people: just a reminder that this is our moment and the next few years are going to be huge.

One of the biggest winners of the AI era are senior leaders who used to write code a lot.
Being rusty isn't much of a barrier anymore. And you can do simple things in 5 minutes between meetings.

I used to believe that representative democracy was needed due to the complexity of the work and the sheer volume of legislation.
But now gridlock means that so little is getting done that I think direct democracy might work just as well if not better.

I see it differently. You create an adverse selection bias for people who could believe that narrative. If you can predict that kind of thing why are you working as a recruiter?
The goal of a recruiter is to recruit. They need to be almost unrealistically positive and optimistic, and also bring in people who are equally so.
I’d say that recruiter did a good job. Candidates need to do their due diligence!

One of the biggest potential benefits of AI is repealing Brandolini's Law. (cost to refute bullshit is 10x the cost to create it)
The cost of refuting bullshit can be eventually outsourced to AI and take much less human effort.
