AI interview bots spark backlash from frustrated job applicants

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-15 03:22:00

The big picture: As more employers turn to AI to manage overburdened recruiting pipelines, the debate about its merits – and drawbacks – continues. Some job-seekers opt out of opportunities altogether when robots come calling. Others, resigned to the new normal, accept these digital gatekeepers to find work. Both sides, for now, seem likely to remain divided as the hiring process rapidly evolves. As employers increasingly automate their recruitment processes, job interviews themselves are under

Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year?

Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year? Around a year ago, I published a blog post explaining my overall experience Switching from Arch to NixOS. You can read it if you’re interested in my early experiences, but, to give you a spoiler, that post ends with me saying: Unfortunately, though, I don’t think the benefits I’ve gotten in this one month of using NixOS so far justified the cost I’ve initially spent and continue to spend learning Nix and NixOS. — Ultimately, whether the benefits of learnin

If you use a password manager app, you probably aren’t using it right

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-15 17:00:43

Andy Walker / Android Authority Password managers have their purpose set in their names: to manage passwords. Right? Wrong — they’re meant to do so much more. I used to be in the same boat as many of you probably are, using password managers exclusively for generating and storing strong passwords. Then one day, my life took a wonderful turn: I started using my password manager for more than just passwords. It may sound silly at first, but it’s made my life so much better and more convenient.

Writing and directing a breakout hit can be both a blessing and a curse for some filmmakers. On the one hand, you’ve just achieved your dreams of success and adoration in the world of cinema. Well done. On the other hand, now you have to do it again. And again. And again. Some filmmakers fail at this. Others, especially the great ones, rise to the challenge.

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI Bubble

"The competition for AGI—AI that surpasses humans at all cognitive tasks—is of fundamental geopolitical importance." That's The Economist, last week. Not some breathless tech blogger or venture capitalist talking their book. The world's most prestigious economic publication. Notice the framing - it treats AGI as a foregone geopolitical contest. They're not wrong about the competition. They're just wrong about what we're competing for. I started coding again last year. First time in 13 years.

Josh Hawley Says Trump Tariff Rebate Checks Won’t Go to ‘Biden Voters’

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) recently introduced legislation that he claims is designed to allow Americans to “benefit” from Trump’s tariff scheme. Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt. The administration’s tariffs are unprecedented in modern economic history and are currently generating revenue for the U.S. government by taxing U.S. businesses on their imports.

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it.
