> Applying to Zapier? Here's why you might meet an AI recruiter

Because it's cheaper for Zapier.

This is why most organizations take a blind eye when popular people in their community behave badly; if they even so much as give them a three-month ban from the forum, people will keep bringing it up years later.

> If we accepted and spent the money despite this term, there was a very real risk that the money could be clawed back later. That represents an existential risk for the foundation since we would have already spent the money!

Kudos to Simon and the rest of the board. Accepting that money would be more than a strategic mistake, it'd be an existential danger to the PSF itself.

I mean, it's also just the plain common sense move: accepting that money would just be putting a noose around their neck and handing the other end to the Trump administration. (And there is a 100.0% chance they'll just claw it back eventually anyway.)

It's a shame that months of NSF grant-writing work was completely wasted though.

Who, in 2025, is still giving the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the rule of law?

Agreed. And it is... quite revealing that many people in these comments are so insistent to view the text in isolation.

I am going add more on top of that: we should automatically assume bad faith of anyone still willing, in 2025, to give the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt.

LLMs are really not good at following specific processes like math. They operate off vibes.

Ask Claude to multiply two ten-digit numbers. It gets the first one or two digits correct, and then makes up the rest.

ChatGPT used to have the same problem, but now it writes a program to perform the math for it.

I know I've been saying this for years, but I seriously will get around to updating the videos in the Udemy course this year.
