Re: My activities for the month of stardate 20732 are/is
Spent all day yesterday researching how to replace spark plugs on the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 trucks so I can walk my friend through the process (over the phone)

I predict failure.
I predict failure.

Got a job interview today for a position of "AI evaluator". Looks like I take things that were solved by ai and validate that they are correct and of a certain quality level.

That sounds like a sit at the production assembly line and look at the production quality. A similar job that Homer Simpson has.Smucky wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2026 6:09 pm Got a job interview today for a position of "AI evaluator".

Funny that they now have to employ a person to verify the AI that was supposed to save the company from employing someone.

Yea but it was "$100-$300" per hour. But the interviewer showed up late, asked if I "got the email". Said no. He then said they weren't doing "one on one" interviews anymore and to keep a look out "for the email"NinjaPoodle wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2026 7:06 pmThat sounds like a sit at the production assembly line and look at the production quality.

Was this job
I see they already changed stuff. Was up to $300/hour. It also had a blurb about some zero-trust security stuff that would have to be installed on the machine you were working from so I almost didn't apply just because of that but then realized I could just install it on a VM or my son's computer

I think that $300/h is fake. Faking hourly rates in order to attract scoundrels is common practice.Smucky wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2026 9:16 pm Was this job

Hmm maybe. I sent them an email as a reminder that they were supposed to send me an email about joining some kind of conference call with a hundred people on it tonight at 10pm (NinjaPoodle wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2026 11:54 pmI think that $300/h is fake.
