Follow-up to this, I am noticing that what I gravitate towards more and more is a job that aligns with my values & morals. I want to do at least *some* good in the world - it should be a net positive. ALSO incredibly hard to find. Nonprofits, charities, green tech, urbanism, anything? Preferably remote in #Canada, but would consider hybrid in #yeg. #fediJobs #getFediHired #data

@robyn@yeg.bike bruh, no. We're implementing some miraculous realtime analytics. Is you can dream it, it's being rendered on a webpage by the end of the week

@robyn@yeg.bike honestly I think it’s the same game as with anything. Say “yes of course I’ll be in the office two days a week and use AI for everything including my trips to the bathroom” to the HR person and then do your job effectively once you’re hired and nobody’s gonna check shit. At least that’s how most places seem to work to me

@robyn@yeg.bike My guess, and this is just a guess, is that it's a unicorn now. Today. In this era. But give it a year, probably less, and the whole "AI" con will implode. My understanding is that Cory Doctorow is right--AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into our walls and we're going to have to spend generations excising it. My advice--go raise sheep off the grid for a year, then come back as an AI slop code doctor.

@robyn@yeg.bike I don't think so. :( But if I ever became rich, I'll create them!

@robyn@yeg.bike Note: this is an under-educated guess and opinion. I would say still apply to job listings with those. IF otherwise qualified. Speak up the qualifications you -do- have. And state you have ethical issues with LLMs. **As polite as one usually is while applying for a job.** But be prepared to not get the job. 🧵

@robyn@yeg.bike @zkamvar@hachyderm.io We do data analytics for the charity sector in Australia and don’t use gen AI. We build ML models where it makes sense, but otherwise we use human intelligence, understanding and experience to help our clients do more with their data furthering their causes. So not a unicorn, but we’re profitable enough not to need to buy into the hype and our clients trust us enough not to ask for that crap.
