@ChrisFCB_ @TrollFootball Leicester City-era Maguire was absolute class

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@Sefyu64 Yeah right. Roles I see for the above typically state multiple years of commercial experience.

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@A__kelvin @Ellis_ Indeed. You can stay in one (non-top 4) club and still be considered a footballing legend.

Case 1: Matt le Tissier. Considered one of the most talented Premier League players ever. Scored goals no other player would dream of apart from Messi and Ronaldo. Never left Southampton.

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@LinkedInLunat1c No, and it's probably a good idea to do it.

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

Clever marketing

If everyone can build with AI, what becomes the new competitive advantage?

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@shazcodes Companies have been outsourcing tech roles since long before WFH became common.

Coming in the office will make no difference to their decision.

Come work with me! We're hiring for multiple engineers on the evals team. Link at end of thread.

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@techyoutbe That's very true but job ads typically state they want commercial experience in the above (i.e. for you to have done it at a previous work). Side projects alone won't cut it with most recruiters.

@YBattleaxe15846 @RachCarrell Dunno about penguins but there was a big deer enclosure next to the room they put me in at Magdalen.

PREDICTION

after kimi k3 successful launch and mogs opus 4.8, Dario Amodei is gonna write an essay explaining how open-weight Chinese AI threatens democracy, national security, and the future of humanity

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@PythonDvz People say this but I still see quite a few job ads titled "AI Engineer" asking for multiple years experience in ML, Pytorch etc. I have even seen some ask for PhDs.

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@ujjwalscript Did those 1 in 3 rehire the same number of staff, at the same level with the same salaries? How many of those staff were offshore/low cost centres?

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

Google's new AI search likes to pretend it's living in the future. #AI #hallucination

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

@bluehorizon_ai Yeah like Infantino and Messi would ever help England out

A company after my own heart.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Talking w a larger startup whose product seems to not have degraded (vs many other products), even though they also use a AI for coding everywhere. Asked an infra lead: how?

"Even before AI, we were paranoid about quality, and built this irrationally thorough E2E testing system"

[Paul Maxwell-Walters @TestingRants]

France, Argentina and dodgy VAR decisions.

Also Kane, Bellingham, Rice and Guéhi currently being on yellow cards.

[The Away Fans @theawayfans]

Be honest. What's the one thing stopping this England team from winning the World Cup? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
