i doubt wells fargo would fire you for that

the most likely scenario (in my mind) is that managers realized some people were not working anymore, checked what was going on, and ended up firing them for not working. the keyboard simulator was just a side thing.

now as regards to the focus of other people in this thread that wells fargo is to blame, my assumption is that the managers are not great either

to be fair, they didnt think it was a problem at the beginning, which can happen... if you made a mistake with your logging/monitoring

agree, but this sounds like it would produce logs/error messages which could then lead to a solution, quicker... if the logs were captured and propagated sufficiently

50%+ of my time is spent on backend engineering because the ML is used inside a bigger API.

I take responsibility for the end to end experience of said API, so I will do whatever gives the best value per time spent. This often has nothing to do with the ML models.

"denied" tenure is weird phrasing: I assume you don't have the right to tenure, similarly to us not having a right to a promotion or a job.

I am for fighting/hustling this if this is doable

too complex.

all the ATS (=recruiting softwares) are not built for that

think about it: they typically support looking at one resume at a time, then click a yes/no button, then show the next one

it is not easy to use OpenAI as you mentioned. many problems. one is: you will need to search/scroll for those resumes which the AI selected

oh dear, most recruiters are clueless, and they WILL reject a candidate who is a core React contributor, because unfortunately they don't know JavaScript

i have worked now in the industry for a few years. it is sad.

They would get less efficient if they did.

Recruiters need/want to decide in less than 30 seconds. It is easier for them to just make a rough call after looking at the resume from a distance

The tip does NOT work in general. Afaik (currently) the majority of ATS do not work like that. There is no simple ChatGPT auto advance application feature.

The biggest ATS do care about AI and privacy regulations which make this approach legally problematic.

Regarding the EU: if the ATS does NOT list OpenAI as a data subprocessor you can expect they wont send a resume to ChatGPT. They are not allowed to.

Nice, I love that it involves no backend and no libraries. Seeing some problems on an iphone 15: after i enter a bet, it zooms in, and i have to manually zoom out again
