[ad_1] Too bad there isn’t a way to debug the tech job market.With Big Tech layoffs, the increase in computer science graduates, and quicker ways to learn through AI and vibe coding, there’s a lot more tech talent, but not a lot of opportunities.The labor market has been frozen for months, marked by low layoffs, low hiring, and few openings for job seekers and switchers.It’s looking like a better time to continue writing lines of code at your current role than to try to switch jobs or ask for a promotion.Here are three charts that show how hard the tech…

[ad_1] You can now choose just how sarcastic ChatGPT is.With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI introduced a new set of “personalities” that users can choose between. Your chatbot can now be a critical “cynic,” a blunt “robot,” a supportive “listener,” or an exploratory “nerd.”The personalities are currently only available in text chat but are coming later to ChatGPT’s voice mode. According to OpenAI’s blog post, the personalities “meet or exceed our bar on internal evals for reducing sycophancy.”I tried chatting with each personality. None were revolutionary; users could already modify ChatGPT’s tone with a quick prompt or by filling in…

[ad_1] Being a generalist is so in right now.”This was happening before AI, but it’s happening even more with AI,” Figma’s CEO Dylan Field said at a talk with Y Combinator published on Saturday. “There’s something about AI that empowers generalist behavior.”Field said that areas that were seen as distinct phases in the product development process are now merging.”Product is also blurring with design and development and potentially even parts of research,” he said. “All this is becoming less distinct, and it’s all kind of coming together more.”In what was seen as the hottest listing of the year, Figma went…

[ad_1] The coding-equals-prosperity promise has officially collapsed. Fresh computer science graduates are facing unemployment rates of 6.1% to 7.5% — more than double what biology and art history majors are experiencing, according to a recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York study. A crushing New York Times piece highlights what’s happening on the ground. The individual stories are surreal. Manasi Mishra, 21, graduated from Purdue after being promised six-figure starting salaries, only to receive a single interview, at Chipotle (she didn’t get the job.) Zach Taylor has applied to nearly 6,000 tech jobs since graduating from Oregon State in 2023,…

[ad_1] Landing a job at OpenAI often requires a strong tech background, experience at top-tier companies, and a genuine passion for AI research.Succeeding at the company, however, requires the ability to work without a playbook.”Approaching each scenario from scratch is so important in this space,” Nick Turley, the head of ChatGPT, told Lenny Rachitsky on his weekly tech podcast on Saturday. “There is no analogy for what we’re building. You can’t copy an existing thing.”He added that OpenAI cannot iterate on products or features developed by existing tech giants like Instagram, Google, or a company already known for its productivity…

[ad_1] One of the first planned communities in the US, Coral Gables was built by George Merrick as an ambitious and fast-paced project focused on building a thousand Mediterranean-inspired houses, with the goal of forming an organized, efficient, and resource-rich community, which The New York Times reported on in 1925.A century ago, Biscayne Bay attracted some of America’s wealthiest individuals. In 1922, International Harvester heir and Gilded Age millionaire James Deering built his grand Vizcaya Mansion on the same shores where billionaires’ megayachts dock today. Today, the extravagant historic mansion doesn’t feel at all out of place.In 2024, the city of Coral Gables, which also…

[ad_1] Running a business with your sibling sounds like a recipe for disaster. One wrong step, and you risk both your company and your relationship. But for me and my brother, Adam, it’s been the opposite. Co-founding and running two companies together has brought us closer and made our businesses stronger.Together, we co-lead BNA, a tax and wealth advisory firm based in North Carolina.

Despite juggling multiple ventures and responsibilities, we’ve not only stayed aligned but also grown stronger as partners and brothers.We’ve had to navigate difficult conversations, unexpected crises,…

[ad_1] There’s still too little visibility from a policy perspective for investors to plant their feet in one direction or the other as stock valuations sit at record highs, according to BNY head of market strategy Robert Savage . Savage noted that picking between sticking with sky-high valuations and looking for value in an expensive market isn’t a black and white decision. The S & P 500 currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 22 times, near the top of its historical average over the past 20 years, when it’s averaged about a 16 times multiple, according to…

[ad_1] Concerns over a potential plunge in web traffic due to artificial intelligence — and its impact on many businesses — may have been overblown. The proliferation of artificial intelligence tools in web navigation have raised concern that Google, as well as companies that rely on consumers reaching them through search results, could see their business take a hit. A study by the Pew Research Center found that users who encounter an AI summary when searching are about half as likely to click on a traditional search result than those who aren’t met with one. Another survey from Bain found…
