Job posting demands 10 years experience using Generative AI, despite ChatGPT coming out less than 2 years ago: ‘Ideal candidate will have good time-travelling skills’

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that job applications often ask for more than they need. They want to appeal to smart, qualified candidates and do so by setting their expectations to the moon and hoping that someone who is realistically qualified still applies despite the requests for years and years of experience.

So many rich people are clueless about how good they have it. From the way richies talk online, anyone making less than $100K a year must be slumming in extreme poverty that can never be rectified.

‘Definitely asking for trouble’: Guy ‘works from home’ on VR headset on NYC subway, New Yorkers threaten to rob him

New technology is so goofy. Remember when AirPods first came out and everyone was clowning them for looking, well, stupid? Now everybody wears them, and nobody bats an eye.

Manager Scolds a Tech Support Guy After He’s Found Fixing a Personal Laptop at Work, Gets Humiliated After Learning it’s the CEO’s Computer

In the corporate world, there’s always a hierarchy. As the lowly pleebs that waltz through the front door every morning clocking 40+ hours every week, it’s safe to say that we don’t have too much clout in the corporate ranking system.
