Using AI Hawk’s Auto Jobs Applier bot, I applied for 17 jobs in an hour on LinkedIn.
This is one use of AI I fully approve of, because hiring departments are already using their own absolutely terrible AI products to filter applicants. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire. Even before this AI shit came along, HR departments were colluding with a grab bag of con artists to turn the hiring process into a nightmare hellscape. It’s only fitting that it finally consumes them too.
We’ve got AIs to go through applications that is submitted by AIs. Just what are we doing here?
The true purpose of technological civilization, as directed and controlled by capitalists, seems to be the creation of the infinite paper clip machine.
Except instead of paper clips, its AI having gibberish meeting with each other, AI applying to other AI for jobs, AI simulacra dating other AI simulacra.
It nets out to an unfathomable waste of resources, human potential, and the lethal degradation of our ecosphere.
First as tragedy, then as farce.
All the smart people already warned and suggested better paths and outcomes, but that would cut into next quarter profits so its a non starter.
Similar to how companies are reaching to create the death machine from the book “do not create the death machine”, companies are racing to create the “dead internet”, where even if humanity dies, there will still be internet traffic.
