Really liked the end of the poem. Honestly could have done without my own name in there, since it was a little jarring, and dispelled the dreamlike quality of the poem.
On the other hand, requiring recordings could reduce the number of applications you get sent, at least as long as their are requirements specific to your application that would prevent applicants from mass-submitting the same video to all of their target jobs.
There was a blog post I read on HN that was about how existing large publications who were threatened by the internet (think big magazines) began to churn out low-quality content that will allow their sites to dominate search rankings despite offering less value than higher-quality posts from small blogs.
I think the blog post was from some kind of home air filter review site or something, but I can't find it....
I have no clue what a Quine clock is, but I think it would be easier to read if the diagonal stroke on the front of the 1s only extended to the second row of characters from the top, instead of the third.

I completely agree with this. Have you ever noticed how very tall but narrow buildings (i.e. skyscrapers) are never as physically imposing as bulky, monolithic buildings that are as nearly as wide as they are tall?

The lesser-known voice actor is dooming themselves to find a job in a different sector by contributing to the development of technology that will almost certainly replace all voice actors.
That seems to be the majority opinion, at least in my experience, but I've always really liked it. Maybe because it reminds me of so many science fiction settings. I do think blending the buildings with plants goes a long way to making them look more hospitable.
That's an interesting thought. I think a lot of people who are upset about this are not truly upset at the type of partnership being described in the article, but rather adjacent programs that might be developed further down the line. Personally, I don't think they're wrong to predict something closer to true advertising being incorporated into LLMs; I wouldn't be surprised if the industry does take that sort of turn.
For the time being, though, I think you're right that this seems to be something a little more innocuous.
