what even is this take
Screenshot of a Boston Globe piece: “Many have pointed out the tragic irony of Kirk being killed with a gun when he was so adamant about protecting the Second Amendment that he believed a certain number of gun deaths was a price worth paying to have unfettered access to guns. I've been struck more by the idea of Kirk being assassinated for his ideas just as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated for his. King was murdered because he advocated for civil rights for all Americans. And yet Kirk belittled and demeaned King, blaming him for causing the nation's ongoing racial divide, a viewpoint which struck me as off the wall. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in the moral power and authority of nonviolent resistance. And, here's the irony: King would have been the last person to take pleasure from or celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk.”

This week, we’re getting into the importance of AI literacy from an angle that I hadn’t formally considered until I came across an article that, frankly, pissed me off.

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! jordanharrod.substack.com
Newsletter titled "Selling the Magic of AI: Turns out AI literacy is bad for business. Who knew?"

On the upside, it seems like hiring managers also look down on using AI-powered video interviews instead of an actual person.
excerpt from Jordan Harrod's newsletter - "In an era where hiring teams actively complain about the increasingly prevalence of copy-pasted ChatGPT generated cover letters and automated job application tools spamming teams with obviously unqualified applicants, it seems paradoxical that companies are comfortable delegating their candidate evaluation to AI systems."

It's been quite a year, hasn't it?

Screenshot of the intro to Jordan Harrod's substack newsletter Title: AI Rewind: 2024 Edition, Subtitle: have we reached artificial general intelligence? who cares?. Body: “It’s been an interesting year for AI” is a sentence that I could have reasonably written at any point within the last two to three years, because it’s true. It’s also just a bit… banal? Granted, I’m subscribed to at least fifteen AI-related newsletters, so I might be biased here.

this is a screenshot of a youtube video about how to do a "half year reset" where the host of the video jokes about the challenge of determining whether an issue he's dealing with is something he should tell his therapist or something he should tell his youtube channel
