THE US hirings (for jobs) are decreasing. Hiring generally falls, according to the latest US government data. There's some press coverage about it this week, mostly in shallow corporate media that simply parrots the official talking points, does not bother to investigate accuracy or anything like t hat. They focus on "openings". But they count fake "openings" and assert there's a rise in "openings". What a [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] re they counting? Millions of fake job "openings"... meant to fake the "health" of some firms? [06:01] schestowitz[TR2]

Ghost jobs: why do 40% of companies advertise positions that dont exist? [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] Millions (yes, millions!) of fake "openings" exist in the US alone, based on a survey done last year. Millions of people will apply for jobs that do not exist. [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] I can attest to that phenomenon from personal experience inside Sirius Open Source. I've long been aware of that because we were receiving CVs and detailed job applications from people. And we all knew there were no openings. So these people just wasted their time. They must have stumbled upon pages like this: [06:01] schestowitz[TR2]

Why work at Sirius? [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] This is 2025. This screenshot is minutes old. Some of the above openings did exist... more than 5 years ago! Why were those not taken down or commented out? It has been ages and ages since then, so the decision to keep this misinformation online was very much conscious. The decision was made by the same crook who had robbed my colleagues and I (pension fraud). [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] The same can be said about how many people work there. This is how they describe "The Team". More than 90% of the people in this page are not in the company and some left it more than 5 years ago!!! The majority left the company 3+ years ago. After my wife and I left almost everybody else left too. Then the former wife of the CEO expressed support for us. S [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] he was angry about what he had done. She should know, as she too was a company insider (Director). [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] So, in short, Sirius Open Source lies about how many people work there (it also counts "associates" as staff; some work for the company a few days a year) also still PRETENDS there are job openings!! There have been none for many years, but some fools might "apply" (and do in fact apply; I saw that as an insider) [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] I cannot speak about - or for - other companies, but I can say this with confidence about a company where I worked for nearly 12 years. I know that's not just a "Sirius" thing. MANY other companies do the same (skeleton crews and job ads). Fake, fake, fake. Be aware that t he government uses fake data - fed in by such companies - to pre [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] tend the economy is fine and people without a job just don't try hard enough to find one. [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] One anecdote I am 100% certain about is that here in the UK some places hire people on lousy 3-months contracts, knowing in advance (and even openly admitting) there's no prospect of retention. In other words, they advertise job openings, but they know upfront that those are 3-month "gigs", not proper jobs with holiday pay or job security. They received favours from the government (e.g. tax breaks) based on the pretences of being [06:01] schestowitz[TR2] "job creators" and they "rotate" the staff often enough (months apart) to pretend they hired many people and have many "openings" all the time.

Locus Online [08:00] schestowitz[TR2] "Though I dont have a certain answer to this question, I am skeptical. AI decision support is potentially valuable to practitioners. Accountants might value an AI tools ability to draft a tax return. Radiologists might value the AIs guess about whether an X-ray suggests a cancerous mass. But with AIs tendency to hallucinate and confabulate, theres an increasing recognition that these AI judgments require a [08:00] schestowitz[TR2] human in the loop to carefully review their judgments." [08:00] schestowitz[TR2] "In other words, an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate." [08:00] schestowitz[TR2] "Just take one step back and look at the hype through this lens. All the big, exciting uses for AI are either low-dollar (helping kids cheat on their homework, generating stock art for bottom-feeding publications) or high-stakes and fault-intolerant (self-driving cars, radiology, hiring, etc.)." [08:01] schestowitz[TR2] "As someone who specifically works adjacent to Radiologists working in AI and Deep Learning they have been working on imaging specific AI since long before the current bubble. It is about carefully training rigorous models on controlled data sets to improve accuracy and efficiency. They presume multiple layers of QA and project better overall outcomes. Dealing with PHI absolutely limits how and what kind of third parties are invol [08:01] schestowitz[TR2] ved. Having dedicated experts working on refining specific closed AI systems is required to avoid poisoning. [08:01] schestowitz[TR2] My point being that AI is more than just the current bubble and those more focused incremental change areas will have long term impact. The current AI hype and fraud you discuss will also have negative long term impacts but that is no different than any other corporate fraud bubble."

[21:52] IsambardPrince schestowitz-pi said a while back, maybe he's just trying to extract as much money as he can before this guy takes the building away from him, and they're dusting off the passports for a trip back to India. ● Jan 08 [22:04] IsambardPrince "They tried to create an official Ministry of Disinformation in this administration in case the media opposed them and to pressure "social" media to delete, censor, and oppress anyone who went against the party line. [22:04] IsambardPrince I don't recall ever being banned from anything while any other president was in office and then after Biden's Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, it started happening to many people on a dime. [22:04] IsambardPrince They're done trying to persuade anyone by debate and then they tried deleting them instead, but that didn't work either, and now Facebook and many others have slammed it into full reverse and gotten rid of biased fact checkers and the heavy handed censorship, which was automatic and often wrong to keep labor costs down. [22:04] IsambardPrince We're back in an era where free speech is going to prevail, and the people who tried to take it away from us were exposed, flushed into the open, and voted out of power because they overplayed their hand. [22:04] IsambardPrince Most of California's problems are California's own doing. If they hadn't stolen billions of tax dollars to spend on immigration fugitives and chased all the businesses out with $20 minimum wage, decriminalized retail theft, and high taxes, they would have working fire hydrants. [22:04] IsambardPrince During what they say was the worst drought in State history, they had environmental nuts lobbying to drain Hech Hetchy and deprive an entire region (mostly the Bay Area) of the only source of water they had, simply because if it sounds good in California without any logical thoughts being put into it, that's what they want to do. [22:04] IsambardPrince In some cases, their argument is so stupid that it's literally, "Because that's the way the river looked before humans.", which shows that a lot of liberals are just misanthropes, who devalue human life, and hate raising the living standard for people. Even down to knowing that fresh water will come out of the faucet when you turn it on. [22:04] IsambardPrince Then after all the rain they got, Hetch Hetchy is full, so if none of the braindead stupid people living in San Francisco blow up the dam because of salmon migration or something idiotic, like they did with the hydroelectric dams on the other rivers, then they have years worth of water. [22:04] IsambardPrince California is too small to be a country, too large to be a mental health hospital. [22:04] IsambardPrince My guess with the water is that it's like everything else that the left can take control of by making a shortage and then telling you how much you're allowed to have. It just seems to get them off somehow when they're in control of how long your showers are, what day you can wash your car, and if you can even get a glass of water to drink."

[22:20] IsambardPrince "I got told off once by a fifteen year old (now in his 20s) that told me that Linux on my computer and an Android phone meant I was "definitely doing some illegal shit" and then as soon as he turned 18, he signed a finance agreement on a new car, didn't get GAP insurance, and drove it into a tree. [22:20] IsambardPrince :) [22:20] IsambardPrince Then he posted a GoFundMe. There's a place to go when you're broke, honey. It's called work. [22:20] IsambardPrince Broke people buying a brand new car. Sure there's some bank out there who will loan you the money (and laugh about it), so you can turn $40,000 into $12,000 in 5 years, if you pay off the loan. [22:20] IsambardPrince What kind of a deal is that? Then he skipped loan payoff insurance that probably cost $500, wrapped his car around a tree, and owed the bank $6,000 and wanted other people to pay it for him. People who work for a living. Meanwhile, he's got $400 Apple pods hanging out of his ears. What a dumbass.

[22:44] MinceR expecting the nazis not to invade belgium and just go around, iirc [22:44] IsambardPrince Yeah, Belgium will probably stop these guys, right? [22:44] IsambardPrince :D [22:45] MinceR dunno, maybe they hoped to have time to move their forces to that border while the nazis are busy taking over belgium [22:45] MinceR and then it probably happened much faster than expected [22:46] IsambardPrince Busy taking over Belgium huh? [22:46] IsambardPrince In two days? [22:47] IsambardPrince My point is that the EU suffers from the language and cultural barriers and the nationalism that existed before the EU. [22:47] IsambardPrince And that's what will ultimately cause it to fail, officially fail. [22:47] MinceR no, that is not what the EU suffers from [22:47] IsambardPrince It's already failed. [22:47] IsambardPrince It let Hungary in. [22:47] MinceR what the EU suffers from is cowardice and lack of vision [22:48] MinceR they don't dare try to uphold their own rules or enforce them against their own member states [22:48] MinceR they don't dare to build up a military force to defend themselves against invaders [22:48] IsambardPrince Well, it gets that when it has France (cowardice) and Hungary (lack of vision, dictatorial, fascist, Russian sympathizer/satellite). [22:48] MinceR please [22:48] MinceR hungary is far more coward than france could ever dream of being [22:48] IsambardPrince I don't think it's cowardice, really. [22:48] IsambardPrince They elected Orban's party to begin with. [22:48] MinceR hungarians have a history of supporting genocidal maniacs but don't dare execute one of their own [22:49] IsambardPrince It's probably just that most of your fellow countrymen are on the same page as Putin. [22:49] MinceR orban's party campaigned successfully on a platform of cowardice [22:49] IsambardPrince And want to be absorbed. [22:49] *agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed) [22:49] MinceR well, not quite [22:49] MinceR orcs are quite happy to attempt to exterminate ukrainians [22:49] *agentcasey_ (~agentcasey@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights [22:49] IsambardPrince They've never liked Ukraine. [22:49] MinceR hungarians don't dare do anything about it other than cheering them on from the sidelines and betraying NATO and the EU [22:50] IsambardPrince As a part of the USSR, Ukrainians were treated harshly. [22:50] IsambardPrince The Russians saw it as a food basket, and source of labor and conscripts. [22:50] IsambardPrince They put heavy industry and dangerously poorly designed nuclear power there. [22:50] IsambardPrince Stuff they didn't want in Russia. [22:50] MinceR as for lack of vision, there was some expectation of turning the EU into a major power, but no plan or willingness to do anything about it [22:50] IsambardPrince Of course the wind blows, but leave it to the Russians not to figure that out. [22:51] IsambardPrince You know. Go digging in the woods near the worst radioactive disaster in history. [22:51] MinceR of course the fact that the enemies of the EU have puppets in the EU (mainly orbanistan) doesn't help [22:51] IsambardPrince MinceR, Are the Russians that badly educated that they don't know what happened there in 1986? [22:52] MinceR i don't know [22:52] MinceR at least for a while, their state definitely denied anything happening there [22:57] IsambardPrince Then admitted something happened, but it was minor and under control. [22:57] IsambardPrince Then eventually that it was a catastrophe. [22:57] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Party always has everything under control. [22:57] IsambardPrince Speaking of living in a concrete shitbox that can't hold any heat. [22:58] IsambardPrince That's what this place is. [22:58] IsambardPrince This winter, I've resorted to four comfortors on my bed and a king-size mattress tent. [22:59] IsambardPrince You zip it up and eventually enough body heat gathers in the tent that it's several degrees warmer than the room.

[23:00] IsambardPrince "NEVER!!!" [23:00] MinceR do you use electric heating? [23:01] IsambardPrince Yeah, that's the only option. [23:01] MinceR with a heat pump? [23:01] IsambardPrince There's baseboard heaters. There's no way to turn them off at the thermostat. [23:01] IsambardPrince The lowest setting makes them turn on at 63 degrees F. [23:01] IsambardPrince So I killed them at the circuit breaker. [23:02] MinceR ic [23:02] IsambardPrince I have an oil filled radiator heater that plugs into the wall if I need the room to be a bit warmer. [23:02] IsambardPrince I might plug it in if the temperature outside gets so awful that it dips under 60 in here. [23:03] IsambardPrince My lease (which goes up about 11% every year now, in a country with "2.4% inflation"....says I have to keep it at 66 F in here. [23:03] IsambardPrince But nobody checks. [23:03] IsambardPrince :P [23:05] IsambardPrince I keep a small dehumidifier going in the bathroom. Just enough to keep the toilet tank from condensating and dripping onto the floor.
