The only circumstances where I'd consider entertaining such ridiculous processes is: 1. If I was unemployed with nothing better to do, or 2. If it was a bonafide fact that the job was excellent (eg, if someone I trusted said it was a good place to work, outlining the benefits and drawbacks of working there).

Otherwise, if I'm working and you're asking for multiple hours of my work day, multiple times for interview things just so I can have a chance at getting the job? No thanks. I'm going to value a paycheque that I'm currently earning over one I could maybe have the opportunity to earn.

But I'm also not new to my chosen career path as a systems administrator (among so many other titles/hats that I wear). Bluntly, if you want me, make me an offer. I'll entertain a normal conversation about what I'm bringing to the table and vice versa, but beyond that, if you're on the fence about whether I'm worthwhile, then I'm in the wind. ๐Ÿ–•

That's a hot take, I'm interested to see how that works out for you.

I always debate with myself whether it's worthwhile to weigh in on these things because no matter what opinion you have there's a group of very opinionated people who will disagree with you, despite not being involved in the conflict and having no personal stake in the outcome.

All I'll say on the matter is: are we not passed the point of killing eachother for land/resources? No? Alright then.

Right. I saw that movie once, years ago.

No thanks. I want email to be email. If I want to chat, I'll use another application and protocol.

[โ€“] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I usually dismiss them as quickly as I discover them because I know how the underlying technology behind email works and I don't agree that it should be presented in the form of chats.

So each time I see it, it only resides in my mind for a few minutes at most.

That's a fair argument. I don't refute it.

I only wish I had any coaching when it was my turn, to help me through that. I figured it out eventually, but still. I wish.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing AI can, or should be used for in the current era, is templating... I suppose things that don't require truth or accuracy are fine too, but yeah.

You can build the framework of an article, report, story, publication, assignment, etc using AI to get some words on paper to start from. Every fact, declaration, or reference needs to be handled as false information unless otherwise proven, and most of the work will need to be rewritten. It's there to provide, more or less, a structure to start from and you do the rest.

When I did essays and the like in school, I didn't have AI to lean on, and the hardest part of doing any essay was.... How the fuck do I start this thing? I knew what I wanted to say, I knew how I wanted to say it, but the initial declarations and wording to "break the ice" so-to-speak, always gave me issues.

It's shit like that where AI can help.

Take everything AI gives you with a gigantic asterisk, that any/all information is liable to be false. Do your own research.

Given how fast things are moving in terms of knowledge and developments in science, technology, medicine, etc that's transforming how we work, now, more than ever before, what you know is less important than what you can figure out. That's what the youth need to be taught, how to figure that shit out for themselves, do the research and verify your findings. Once you know how to do that, then you'll be able to adapt to almost any job that you can comprehend from a high level, it's just a matter of time patience, research and learning. With that being said, some occupations have little to no margin for error, which is where my thought process inverts. Train long and hard before you start doing the job.... Stuff like doctors, who can literally kill patients if they don't know what they don't know.... Or nuclear power plant techs... Stuff like that.

I work in B2B IT support, and email is designed to be very async, and for the most part it still is. What I can say with certainty is that business folks expect email to be instant like synchronous platforms are... It's not, it never will be... It's gotten about as close as it can be, but it is not, and will never be, instant delivery, no matter how much they want it to be.

[โ€“] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Several people have tried to do this.

[โ€“] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

For the people, yes.

With email, message delivery can be async as well.

If I go to the website right now, I see $189 for the "roam" plan.

Your numbers seem off.

Regardless, my comments are based on the image in the OP

Everything is fine until you say the wrong strawberry?
