This job I applied for had a little chat widget in the corner of the page called “job bot” that offered “AI application assistance”. I feel like I can use all the help I could get so I clicked it. It asked for my name and email address, then provided a link to the page I was already on. 

Bonus points: It was for an environmental conservation position 



No I will not welcome our new AI overlords.


Like selling MAGA and Jesus Slop or starting a meme coin for every breaking news story, it’s the cognitive dissonance that stops me. Even maintaining grass lawns at a landscaper made me feel like I was making a deal with the devil. Morally I could never justify selling someone their own alienation to the degree that AI creates.
