  • Well, right now it’s basically an arms race between recruiters and job seekers on who can put less effort in the process.

    I’m fairly certain many recruiters absolutely abuse the hell out of LLMs to read résumés, and when LLM-generated resumes arrive en masse - why even bother.

    And then you have some “bright minds” using AI agents to even do interviews, making people talk to robots. At some point the job seeking party is gonna do the same, and either it will be “interviewing is dying”, or there will be some serious reconsiderations from employers on how not to organize hiring process.


  • That’s a really bad take.

    Yes, people on previously Soviet-occupied territories that were occupied by Germans in WW2 often first met nazis with flowers as liberators, and even captured Soviet generals would at first slip some words that were quite critical of Soviet leadership.

    But, as time passed on, the attitudes changed, so there was increase in guerilla activity and also some initial collaborators became rebels. That is simply because people started realizing how nazis were worse than anything.


  • I’ll say most Ukrainians wish both sides “best of luck” (source: I’m Ukrainian) - to Israel because they supplied Lancet and Orlan technologies to Russia, to Iran because they supplied Shaheds and ballistic missiles to Russia, so these things are what directly impacted our lives and made them much worse.

    As for why Zelensky sings praises for Taco Don from time to time - I don’t believe that latter one can be swayed to help Ukraine (and Zelensky probably doesn’t believe that too) but there’s still Congress, that is somewhat cooperative from time to time, and we really need these sanctions that Taco Don now tries to delay and dilute.












  • Well, they’ve been going for a while now. I’m Ukrainian-speaking in daily life (and has been for my whole life), but I’m fairly fluent in Russian simply because it was everywhere - TV, Internet, music, and foreign companies didn’t even bother with Ukrainian-speaking demographics when shipping their products (i mean, for example, markings on appliances and such) or releasing software with Ukrainian language until we had laws that demanded that, they just did Russian, because “they’ll understand it anyway”.

    While I remained Ukrainian-speaking, some people bought the idea of Russian culture being trendy and modern in contrast to Ukrainian being portrayed as rural and simpleton. And that was just “long war” , before it even went into open hostility - there were years, decades, even centuries of such conditioning, but also periodic revivals of Ukrainian culture.
