It's a useful reminder that sometimes tech can make a task more efficient for one side (applying for jobs), and more efficient for the other side (writing job adverts), and yet make the system as a whole completely inefficient.

Un rebelde de 31 años llamado Gaudí: así es El Capricho, su obra más incomprendida
La vigencia y la belleza de la ópera prima del arquitecto catalán radican en que cada ventana y cada azulejo se proyectaron con precisión, obedecen a un propósito y se adaptan a la vida de quien habit...

A whole series of studies of the research priorities of Autistic people have broadly reached this same conclusion.
Interestingly, studies involving our family members also come out strongly in favour of research aimed at improving our wellbeing.

How can autistic adults thrive in life?
This should be at the heart of autism researchers, not what causes autism.
But instead.. 2025.. and I still keep seeing all the same things that's labeled as negative or a barrier from these researchers, that is disappointing to say the least.

A repetitive thing we hear a lot as women in cognitive sciences — which comes up especially when we talk to each other about our reviews, how peers talk to us, etc. — is our writing is not accessible, does this generalise to other fields? Weaponised "you're unclear" is so pathetic IMHO of course

One of the biggest dangers of AI is that it facilitates the concentration of the power to manipulate information flows, without any requirement to understand its content. This process has been ongoing for decades (e.g. the failure to control COVID is a direct result), but LLMs are accelerating it.
Happy International Women's Day!
A reminder that this specific screwup has now killed ~25 million people.

Los hogares ricos compran vivienda como inversión, aprovechando la alta rentabilidad del alquiler.
Esa demanda especulativa es clave en la crisis de vivienda.
Se puede solucionar con una ley que prohíba la compra de vivienda para fines no residenciales.

La adquisición inmobiliaria ya explica casi un tercio del patrimonio de los hogares más pudientes de España, pero es inexistente o testimonial en los más pobres
