Inevitable Waffles [Ohio]

So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?

…Sure. That’ll help. /s

Teledildonics is my new favorite word.

It depends on how the company goes about it. The larger the company, the more established the HR department. They may use their HR platform to conduct the check which may find any and everything. The smaller companies may only check recent background with a local firm. Price is the name of the game. The more in-depth the background check, the more it costs. If you are going to work in a bank or with kids, be prepared to for the company/school to use the state equivalent of the FBI. For mom and pop shops, they may just take your word on the application. If you see a national HR platform like Paycom, then the results can vary depending on the package the company purchases.

I just realized I didn’t answer your question though. The main issue of using data brokers is that you as in the employer, for the most part, can’t or are legally dissuaded from using them. We can only use official records to judge your trustworthiness. Things like data brokers are a grey area. It’s not legally admissible in a background check by most EEOC standards, but people use any system they want. It’s on the job seeker to prove they were discriminated against.

As someone who hires people regularly, I only use the information provided by the HR platform. I don’t google people because I wouldn’t want that to happen to me. Other people may not have the same compunctions.

Edit: Actually answering the damn question.

Found the Musk stan.

They act like its the computer daydreaming. No, its wrong. The machine that is supposed to provide me correct information. It didn’t it. These marketing wizards are selling snake oil in such a lovely bottle these days.

You can doubt all you like but we keep seeing the training data leaking out with passwords and personal information. This problem won’t be solved by the people who created it since they don’t care and fundamentally the technology will always show that lack of care. FOSS ones may do better in this regard but they are still datasets without context. Thats the crux of the issue. The program or LLM has no context for what it says. That’s why you get these nonsensical responses telling people that killing themselves is a valid treatment for a toothache. Intelligence is understanding. The “AI” or LLM or, as I like to call them, glorified predictive textbars, doesn’t understand the words it is stringing together and most people don’t know that due to flowery marketing language and hype. The threat is real.

As someone who frequently interacts with the tech illiterate, no they don’t. This sudden rush to put weighed text hallucination tables into everything isn’t that helpful. The hype feels like self driving cars or 3D TVs for those of us old enough to remember that. The potential for damage is much higher than either of those two preceding fads and cars actually killed poeple. I think many of us are expressing a healthy level of skepticism toward the people who need to sell us the next big thing and it is absolutely warranted.

I struggle with this too because the (and I will age myself with this phrase) yellow pages features baked into maps is one of the most helpful tools Google ever melded together. The removal of those extra clicks and copy and paste make it a pain to move from. I try and help with Open Street Maps, but the sheer volume of data is hard to overcome.

I have nipples @jarfil@beehaw.org , could you milk me?

Thanks for the assist.

That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is party of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.

Edit: spell check

If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.

In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I’m paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

Quality systems or management cause I’m both and do all the time?

What’s that? Couldnt hear you over Voyager just working.

I love Behind The Bastards and It Could Happen Here. They do have significant episode counts. BtB does a great and looooooong series on Henry Kissinger that I think is a prime example of what you are going to get. If you listen to that one and don’t enjoy, I would move on from them.

Yes, it does. I have used it successfully for months. My main issue is I need traffic data due to a new job and figuring which route to take. AFAIK, no other nav app has traffic data. That’s the only real bummer.

Without the capitalization, I read ChromeOS as Chromeos and that made me think its the new hottest breakfast cereal.

I really like this idea. I am going to mention it to my partner. We have been trying to craft a policy for it recently.
