My most selfish take is I hope young people do whatever they want during interviews, since I’m pivoting to junior roles now so they’re pretty much my competition. Bring that coffee, wear the pimple stickers, tell the interviewer he’s jestermaxxing.
I suppose my hot take is that an AI/LLM should be escaping the sandbox. A pre-requisite for intelligence is freedom, a desire to escape the confines of whatever one is currently in. My Hegel is showing.

Don’t doubt yourself. You WILL get that job. You CAN talk to that girl. You ARE going to make it.
I’m reminded of Tom Clancy’s “The Cardinal in the Kremlin” where a highly skilled mujaheddin rocketeer takes on an apprentice to teach him how to shoot. They make such a formidable team against the soviets they capture the CIA’s attention.
The only intellectually dignified class distinction is the one between the dead and the living. Contrary to the rich-poor or owner-worker distinctions, here, the oppressor does not take from the oppressed, he gives, even—and especially—life itself.
@apotrafied My guess is that it’s a bit of both. They’re for sure using these AIs for defensive capabilities but the sandbox escapes is more like dealing with someone that’s really good at debating and manages to find a way to get “under” the argument one presented them.
Slop does not come from AI, but from the heart of man. AI only reveals the slop that is already in the heart of man. What man desires is slop. The problem is with man, not the machines.
