Rah-Rah Take On Tech Job Market

06/12/2024

Artair Geal

It’s hard to take a show like this seriously when it uses cooked unemployment numbers (did you take into account people falling off the UI rolls after a year of unemployment?), makes unfounded assumptions (yes, the unemployed are still learning, Captain Condescension), and basically paints a rosy picture where all is well, AI is fine, and hiring practices aren’t vile. Nobody asked for corporate cheerleading. Try digging down and REPORTING sometime.
Spot On!

This show helps me weed through advertising and industry hype. They ask the tough questions, not just about the tech but the ethical and societal consequences. Topics range broadly so if your first listen doesn’t grab you, it will be worth your while to listen to next week’s show. I tune in to know more about AI, Android, electric cars, home automation, iOS and more.

I just listened to the first and last episode of this podcast, the one about FIDO security and a possible password-less future. The description of Zero Trust was inaccurate to put it mildly. But, the real problem was the core subject of passwords being replaced with biometrics. They did not discuss any of the problems with biometrics, like the fact that they cannot be changed or revoked like passwords can. They did not mention the risks of using SMS for 2FA due to SIM swap attacks, or the extreme measures some have suffered where criminals have cut off fingers to sign in to victims’ accounts. Hey, how about at least suggesting a password manager solution for the time being. These people know not of what they speak. Do not trust them.
