I think they meant 'because'

A real mystery indeed.

There are now studies (I/you need to look up the references since I'm now in a hurry) which posit that, especially in bigger organisations, 80% of the work gets done by 20% of non-managing individuals - because of exactly this phenomenon.

The scam isn't 'hard work'

The scam is the 'a job gives you(r life) purpose' narrative.

Nope, times a thousand. Meaningful relationships, having realistic (but still challenging) goals, self-expression, responsibility for the well-being of others and engaging in meaningful initiatives, among many others, do.

I actually did, but people don't normally have conversations about why NATO is a good/bad idea on first encounter 😆

Thanks !

Regarding that very last part of your comment (about R2D2), his and C-3PO's memory is erased at the end of EPIII by orders of Sen. Organa, so I think that'd explain it.

Would you mind shortly elaborating on the plot holes ?

I had an interesting conversation today with an acquaintance. He has sent his resumé to dozens of companies now. Most of them, but not all, corporate blobs.

He wondered for a while just why the hell no one is even reaching out (he's definitely qualified for most of the positions). He then came to the idea to ask a particular commercial Artificial Stupidity software to parse it. Most of those companies use that software, or at least that's what the vendor says on its website. Turns out, that PoS software gets it all wrong. As in: everything. Positions and companies get mixed up, dates aren't correctly registered, the job descriptions it claims to have understood only remotely match what he wrote. Read: things even the most junior programmer with two weeks of experience would get right.

And it is getting used pretty much by every big firm out there.

Oh and BTW: There is ONE correct answer to the phrase 'using AI is no longer optional' : Fuck you.
