What positions can one test into?

Meaning a deliverable is assigned or an aptitude assessed as part of the hiring process to confirm a viable fit.

ChatGPT’s net effect, aside from pressuring Google to release their more advanced version sooner than planned, is bringing this level of technological sophistication into the public consciousness. Seemingly, most everyone is becoming obsessed with using/mentioning/discussing ‘AI’ even though most have very little idea what they’re talking about. But that’s ok, many of the self-proclaimed experts are more-or-less in the same boat, they’ve only done a little more reading [picture the ‘Do you like apples?’ ponytail guy in Good Will Hunting.] The reality is that this is new enough, being invented/tested as we converse in some cases, that there will be confusion and disagreement in what the terms/tech means even amongst the true gurus of the trade. So it is, as it should be: nature of the ?￡?§?. But what is overwhelmingly obvious is that many of those who have been [ab]using and buzzwording this all too familiar, rarely understood acronym prematurely, will be made embarrassingly obsolete in the coming 18-24 months. Talk about a time for tech ingenuity, h0ly sh1t! You tie this in with the most advanced wireless hardware, ample bandwidth, and humans’ all too predictable behavior patterns and … forget IoT, it will be IoM (Internet of Magic). [You know those amazing nights out with friends you will always remember? Wait, I mean never forget? What if I told you if you give me the list of those that will be in the group, I can guarantee it?] And wow, look at that, just as the big VC shops’ treasure troves are spilling over with bullion, what an amazing coincidence [insert rolling eyes emoji]. But yea, surveillance is apt to get pretty freaky too. The fear, the excitement, the unknown, oh what a time to be alive. But for GOD || DOG’s sakes, stop worrying about the Terminator. These systems/computers are being designed to complement humans’ limitations, not mortally exploit them. The biggest concern to worry about is like most things on this planet: human error/nature. This intelligence is being built to counter/compensate for those weaknesses in many ways, but it is also an inherent flaw at the foundation. A conundrum of sorts, but that’s why redundancy [hopefully] works.?

Then there’s that infamous saying: ‘the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed’. In this case, THAT is what could prove disastrous. If such advanced computers are governed/guided by dozens, hundreds, or even a relative few thousand, this particular experiment/simulation is subject to fail. The threat won’t be, as an example, pointing an AI at the problem-set of Climate Change and it returning/initiating the solution of ‘to protect Earth system, decrease human population’. It will be a distinct few people at the helm not properly valuing [human] life, which is a defect we are all-too-familiar already exists. In terms of the tech itself, what is far more likely is that AI can/will/must help us successfully mitigate too much CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere WITH a growing human population. And let us all hope it can assist in preserving biodiversity as well, before it’s too late for so many of the other miraculous creatures on this planet.

My perspective: globally-changed American?

Born/raised in SE NC, undergraduate work out of Chapel Hill’s School of Public Health in Environmental Science & Engineering, started graduate work in the Arctic right after (North Slope of AK), worked at a DC litigation firm a couple blocks from the White House, grad school in the middle of PA, 7 yrs working with startups in Silicon Valley, based in SF since 2008, father of 1, near-paralysis accident overcome, sailing center?ed in Summer ‘17, and lifeguard certified.

What else do you want to know?

I’m on my sixth life, 6 is complex; looking for passage to 7.

20 countries visited (Vatican City & Monaco not included), 28 sounds better (my picks: Iceland, Greece, Egypt, Tanzania, India, Japan, New Zealand, Peru; but open to suggestions. And Singapore gets an honorable mention.)

44 States in the Union; Acadia, the Twin Cities, and a Packers home game would take me to 47.

I was born in the last months of the 70’s, grew up in the 80’s, and came of age in the 90’s. I distinctly remember when AOL sent those CD’s out and wrote it off as marketing, I was 13. I remember when Kurt Cobain died, 14; Tupac, 16; Biggie, 17. I remember life without the Web [dependency], mobile [addiction], and social media [deterioration]. It is our generation’s responsibility to set some of this right. Those younger have never not known life without the Internet (if you subscribe to a higher power/creator, this could prove to be an opportune time to talk to 'em). Those older either have always been content to be/appear tech-illiterate, else built and proliferated it to their advantage; but regardless, are now of the age/time to enjoy whatever spoils they have accrued, rather than appreciably change much of anything. And in most cases nostalgically pine for when life was simpler, which I can’t blame them for. But the reality is we’re unprecedentedly moving in the opposite direction of intuitive simplicity with numerous entwined positive-feedback loops, that quite frankly, we need increased compute capabilities to even recognize let alone understand.

So back to my original question.?

“But what I really want to know is” [cue Lenny Kravitz], who has such tests?

All I have done, been, seen, lost, gained, developed, encouraged, tested, disregarded, cherished, wished, given, dreamed … all that I am has an inherent value in making this chaotic, inequitable, clusterf€ck of a civilization/World/existence better. And I feel morally obligated to find it.?If for no better reason then I'm scared for my daughter, for there is no better reason.

Humankind is taking on and delivering on such hitherto unthinkable inventions (printing organs, automated rockets … AGI), so a ‘job matching’/‘profession predisposition’ solution to some highly appreciable efficacy rate is not an unreasonable request.?

LinkedIn / 微软 , why don’t you leverage?your partnership/access to do exactly that?

Thanks for reading.
