A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

So their source that 73% of global businesses use AI, at some point in the hiring process, is a site called CPA Practice Advisor who source their claim from MyPerfectResume™ which honestly it sounds kind of bogus to me.

Can that many people really be this stupid?

Just imagine stupidity on a gauss curve. The average Joe is stupid as f. And then realize HALF of people are dumber than Joe.

Yeah but even if half of Nepo Babies are mentally impaired they were all forced to go to expensive business schools.

Yes, and even more can be lazy with annoying processes where they dont see the direct consequences oft their actions when they trust the system

If it's the cheapest modus operandi the bean counters can find to accomplish the task, you bet they can.

Theres nothing cheap about hundreds of discrimination lawsuits, lmao.

AI racial bias is not a new thing.

They're outsourcing the logic to the AI provider, so they can pass the buck and proclaim innocence - in some cases it's even likely true.

In California, one such lawsuit was allowed to continhe by a judge. Proclaming innocence doesn't work when we have all known about AI racial bias and hallucinations for many years, we can reasonably show that they in all likelihood did know the same way a musician can prove the thief heard their song in a copyright case.

Glad to see that, but a single example does not a reliable precedent make — particularly under the current grip of the judicial system by conservatives.

AI being new means you won't have precedent going back 20 years, mate. As I mentioned there is already precedent for proving the defendant was aware of the problematic behavior or risks due to such information being publicly available and commonly discussed.

Even if what you say is true and a bunch of conservative trump appointee hacks are fucking the judicial process up: you can't win them all and there are going to be metric assloads of these cases.
