Turns out the biggest lunatic was Linkedin all along
Well LinkedIn is owned by Microslop so this is unsurprising
“Internships tackling climate issues” yeah just type that into the climate-destroying search box please.
If you want a role tackling climate issues you’re going to make a much bigger dent by being self-employed and doing some on-site work at those noisy new buildings.
I had a brainfart looking at that shit.
it’s a professional/social media site, you would think people would know what kinds of internships focus on climate issues. Why make the prompts so generic. We aren’t fucking 2 years of age, we’re god damn adults.
the thing is Microsoft has disposable income. they’ll pay or cover the upfront cost for the service to appeal to universities and schools. then they just enshittify it for the active users, because what the fuck can the users do about it, nothing. The entire situation is so fucked up.
The agents that decode natural language inputs to return search results are different from the ones that generate output.
Generative AI is the wooooorst, that’s what takes up the most resources, and then produces questionable output.
They do still rely on similar models though, they just produce shorter outputs and are more fine-tuned, so they run for less time per query and thus use less energy.
It will always use more power than traditional search boxes. To be fair though, it probably isn’t enough to matter relative to all the generative crap.
linkin in went downhill as soon as they became another glassdoor, must login and be datamined to see profiles and reviews.
They’re doing this instead of just making regular search decent.
I just want to see jobs that use python. Stop showing me C#.
Microsoft should be split up
This future is in beta.

Their search was already trash, this will only make it worse
I used it at the beginning of the year after their regular searches returned completely unrelated results. The AI search actually improved the quality of the results returned on the first 5 pages of results by a pretty significant amount. It still needs work, but my overall impression is positive (even if I loathe AI with a burning hot passion).
I mean most jobs aren’t even jobs, they are there to collect user data.
its disgusting that this is the best social networking platform, it’s even more of a fucking joke then shlinkedin (satirical linkedin) (yes that is a thing). Hopefully one day there’s an opensource alternative to linkedln that doesn’t compromise user data.
Linkedln is love linkedln is malware
alot of them are fake or expired jobs, not even to collect data. it just so they employer can say “we cant hire anyone because nobody is applying”. in my area the biggest offender is a UC, they have several convoluted ways to apply to thier jobs. they have more than 1 website for hiring, why do they need so many.
I told it I wanted to be an AI job search function and it hung up on me 😭
It’s been a long time ago when it made sense to apply via LinkedIn, but the past years at least the search was somewhat useful and then you’d just go to the company page to find the same listing and apply there. But this, damn, this is useless now.
I thought LinkedIn was literally made to find jobs when it first launched, and the social media crap was added in later.
Very symbolic of the times we’re in
I know this was rolled out earlier for some markets. For me on tablet/mobile it has only appeared about a week ago. It is of course useless - not that the original search was working well, but it at least worked
thank you for the future of job search.
🤢🤮
I can actually see this being quite useful
