Well worth the read! As someone navigating a similar world since 2016 this essay resonated with me on so many levels.

The Lost Generation
For fifteen years I’ve scalped tickets to pay the bills. But in January 2016 I almost managed a real career.

Workers fought for decades to ban the practice of requiring photos with job applications so that employers could determine a candidate's race before hiring them. Asking for a video is just a 21st century version of demanding photos. Don't do it.

Remember when job searching had dignity? 

Now lies are "standard practice."

The new normal in hiring:

↳ False promises become acceptable
↳ Truth becomes negotiable
↳ Trust becomes optional

When did we stop demanding honesty?

AGI Definitions and Their Impact on Hiring Practices and AI Development

AGI Definitions and Their Impact on Hiring Practices and AI Development
The article critically examines the misuse of the term 'AGI' (Artificial General Intelligence) in current discourse, highlighting how its vague definition has been exploited for rhetorical purposes rather than technical clarity. It argues that frameworks like François Chollet's ARC benchmark fail to measure true open-ended adaptive intelligence, instead focusing on pattern recognition under constraints. Major labs define AGI in ways aligned with their products and roadmaps, creating definitional drift that serves competitive advantages in recruitment, fundraising, and policy influence. The piece emphasizes that hiring for 'AGI fluency' is misleading, as current AI tools transform tasks rather than replace jobs. Instead, organizations need employees skilled in adaptability, analytical thinking, leadership, and creative problem-solving. Research on developer productivity shows that advanced AI coding tools may not always boost efficiency due to overhead in prompting and integrating outputs. The conclusion stresses that solving specific, measurable problems for customers is more practical than chasing an underspecified AGI goal. The article advocates for specificity in technical strategy over hype-driven generalization.
