time-less-ness··on I automated my job application process
Find someone over the age of 50 and ask them how to get a job.

First point: you won't like what they say. You won't like it at all. You'll probably absolutely hate it, and even start to hate him a little in the process.

Second point: you'll have a job in under 6 months.

The best fabricated and entirely hallucinated news comes from the mainstream. AI-generated content is too logical and internally-consistent to be real.
time-less-ness··on Start presentations on the second slide
When I present, I just go through the introductory stuff at lightspeed. Who am I? Why am I here? What do I do? What is the history of this topic? Why should you care? All that takes about 30 seconds. If you aren't talking like Ben Shapiro for this bit, you're talking too slow.

time-less-ness··on The Dumber Side of Smart People
I would fail your interview. I assume interviews are for what I do/don't know. So I honestly say what I don't know, and would not offer to find out. Not right then anyway.

Unless you make it very clear at the outset of the interview that this is exploratory and we will be working with network connectivity and full access to the world's knowledge.

I have sent followups to interviewers on problems that were interesting or deep, but those conversations never turned into anything.
