    These have been a thing for a while but it wasn’t an LLM it was a video analyzer. I did exactly one interview like that 5 years ago and gave up halfway through the second video they wanted me to send in because the job sucked ass anyway in a shitty part of the country and I realized I was going to be miserable working there even if I got the job degrading myself like that. I ask terrified of getting laid off and having to enter the job market right now and deal with all these new ways companies are coming up with to degrade potential hires and waste their time

      Don’t worry. You won’t even get contacted about jobs in this market. I was doing identical work for a competitor of the company I interviewed with. I was a manager. I was a trainer. I didn’t even get to the in person’s. I was up against 300 other people. You have no chance in this market.

        I got laid off in January, still looking! Zero interview so far. I’m sorry to hear others are having a rough time too, although it’s a bit of a relief to know I’m not just super toxic or something.

          It’s definitely not you. But I did get a job with a buddies start up but it’s so new that I don’t make a salary. Just commissions for now. And I picked up shifts at a grocery store to get healthcare again. Plus now I’m in a union. Which is pretty sweet if you ask me.
