I actually saw a job posting that said at the very end "this is just an example". Previously it didn't have that line. So I'm guessing someone complained about being replaced and they had to put that line in there. Unfortunately they have since removed the job posting، It's a YC startup too
I'm a witness of that. Both to threaten that you're being replaced once we find someone and to make you think there is someone coming to help. I know for a fact it's the former. Since there was no hiring manager nor HR where that happened, I believe this is a common practice which is being advised to startups at some level. I've seen three or four YC startups do that which makes me wonder if someone is spreading this terrible practice among their network
I like the idea. You can mention some more specific use-cases like offer to build an MVP from scratch, then provide subscription based support. Or suggest taking-over a project from another outsourcing team, etc.
Well they claim that currently the data is centralized and owned by a small group of companies, and they want to decentralize the data so that "users own their data". At least that's what they claim
I know a company that claims to do AI. Their models didn't work so they ended hiring humans to manually do the job AI was supposed to do. Obviously that won't scale, but they still call themselves an AI company.
You refer to the economy as strong. Relatively it's not. Also depends on what you mean by economy. There are parts of the economy which are worse than before, and those are affecting the job market. I'm not saying AI hiring is the only reason, the relatively bad economy is another reason. As for AI there were articles that mentioned exactly that, companies are ending other projects to invest in AI. I'm sorry I don't have a reference handy for you, maybe you can search for them. Since you don't seem to have understanding of what economy is and generalizing it, which is clearly a fallacy, I suggest you are either being arrogant or ignorant to console yourself
AI solutions haven't taken anyone's job yet. Current AI solutions do make copy-pasta a lot faster though. I believe the reason all these engineers lost their jobs is because of companies greedily re-budgeting to hire AI talent and acquire AI startups. AI still hasn't replaced any developers yet, although that might still happen one day.
There are special phone cases/holders designed for that. I'm pretty sure Google will sell those too. Not to mention this might be a camera recording the driver-distraction and not the road. So it doesn't have to be in the sun. Or even for passengers in a driverless car
Congrats. I was binge-watching on Youtube and came across one of your videos a few days ago which inspired me to start thinking of doing something with my 10 year experience, specially when you talked about there being no shortage of money :) No other investor has ever reached me via Youtube let alone inspire. Great move by YC.
It says start typing to search. So i started typing and it didn't search. I really expected it to be some sort of typeahead search without requiring focus on the the search field :)
