Don’t use science fiction to craft public policy for AI. That’s my pitch and the title of my launch essay at @abundanceinst. It’s such an odd thing whenever I hear made up characters and fantasy scenarios as Exhibit A in policy discussions. Thanks to @FoxNews for publishing it:…
Just finished an interview w/the amazing Pam Grier, on everything from her days singing backup for Bobby Womack, to getting pulled over by cops in 1990-era Los Angeles to co-starring in the second season of Prime Video's horror series Them. Sometimes, this is a VERY cool job!

A fun astrology study: researchers measured the personality of 174,000 people in China using a 40-question survey and looked at average scores for each of the Big Five traits (agreeableness, conscientiousness, etc.) broken down by astrological sun signs (Aries, Leo, etc.):

@JamesBroughel The fed jobs process is NUTS. I've done state and local government job applications and got hired locally. State was a medium pain, local was OK. Fed stuff is another level of ridiculousness.
@GrantKidwell @JamesBroughel Imo the solution is to remember they're asking for your skills at the level of the job, not in general. So a GS9 rating themselves the best on a skill doesn't mean they're the world's best, just that they can perform at a GS9 level. But I agree, definitely a shitty system.
@JamesBroughel I was once a reference for a friend going to a federal agency and they called me as part of his background check. Then China hacked OPM and now they've got all my personal information, so the federal hiring process for cybersecurity jobs being a mess doesn't surprise me 😂
@JamesBroughel There was a hearing on the Hill showing how much more complex and slower it was to apply for a Federal Job than a Private similar role in 2005. Nothing changed since then and it hurts the quality of our Federal workforce.

@JamesBroughel Yep. Also create a version of your resume as absolutely packed with copies of the buzzword phrases they used in they job description. Don't paraphrase. Use the exact wording so mindless HR screeners can easily check off all their little boxes.
Many such cases. This is not just laziness/incompetence.

@JamesBroughel There’s an award-winning book on sensible civil service reform just begging to be written. Hiring processes would be but one chapter. It’s an issue that could potentially rally both sides of the aisle to enact much needed transformations to the system.
@JamesBroughel @GrantKidwell yep that's my understanding too. worth noting that the intelligence community does not have these problems, and so can hire better people
I once had a few part time months at the Newport Naval base in RI (doing some programming for a research project) and saw them accidentally hire a guy. Some boss accidentally said yes to a nice guy who was completely unqualified. My manager was told to find him something to do.

You should see the hundreds of workshops in DC dedicated to helping people fill out all forms, get interviews, get “in the system” to get a federal job.
