When an AI-powered writing tool was rolled out on a job site, the length of proposals exploded. Signals employers used to identify good candidates — like quality of writing, and relevance of experience — became ubiquitous. That was OK for bad candidates, but terrible for good ones.

AI-written cover letters mean employers find it harder to spot good candidates, so offer lower pay across the board www.economist.com/finance-and-...
raising taxes is just another shit sandwich that doubles in size every week you don't eat it
“Can we call it a salami slicing budget” “isn’t than normally a bad thing?” “Ok fine but what makes salami look fancy”
An important reminder that Lib Dems don’t believe in good things they believe in opposition.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I think the stupid part is why I’m ride or die for it
Actually that name slaps
Sort of OK in principle with this even though it will likely cost me £2k when I get round to buying a cargo bike but fucking HELL it’ll be grating if the EV salary sacrifice scheme survives
God it’s so funny that there was a monopoly on digital comics until two years ago
somewhat more easily than most websites – VPNs cost money to run so there's not that many free ones. Payments and app stores are the two enforcement points. But yeah, there's always ways round here. The question is "does this protect sufficient children to justify the burden on adults"

Frank Lantz made a good point on @plante.bsky.social's podcast the other day — all the "this game uses genAI" labels that Steam requires, and some of the criticisms in this review, just… inevitably imply that coding isn't ~really~ art?
