Find someone over the age of 50 and ask them how to get a job.
First point: you won't like what they say. You won't like it at all. You'll probably absolutely hate it, and even start to hate him a little in the process.
Second point: you'll have a job in under 6 months.
The best fabricated and entirely hallucinated news comes from the mainstream. AI-generated content is too logical and internally-consistent to be real.
When I present, I just go through the introductory stuff at lightspeed. Who am I? Why am I here? What do I do? What is the history of this topic? Why should you care? All that takes about 30 seconds. If you aren't talking like Ben Shapiro for this bit, you're talking too slow.
I would fail your interview. I assume interviews are for what I do/don't know. So I honestly say what I don't know, and would not offer to find out. Not right then anyway.
Unless you make it very clear at the outset of the interview that this is exploratory and we will be working with network connectivity and full access to the world's knowledge.
I have sent followups to interviewers on problems that were interesting or deep, but those conversations never turned into anything.
I don't think the commenter meant to literally look stuff up during an interview. A good interview is more of a conversation than an exam. During that conversation it would be perfectly normal, even expected, for the interviewee (or even interviewer!) to say something like "I would need to check the specifics in the documentation" or "I don't know what X is, but let's assume it's Y".
Nobody can possibly hold all the knowledge they'll need in their head at once. A fundamentally important part of any skilled job is being able to adapt, improvise and learn on the job. This is what is being tested, not what you know/don't know.
I'm not looking for someone who can autodidact something on a whiteboard during an interview. That'd be kind of silly unless it's something very small. It's more of an attitude, a desire and willingness and ability to learn stuff you don't know yet or try new things.
No, the guy who kept saying you should buy the Model 3 because it will get level 5 FSD around the corner, and you'll be able to use it as a robotaxi and the car will pay for itself.
The guy who said "fuck advertisers" in public even though his X business depended on them.
It's the same person you're talking about, he's done both of those things. He seems to be doing fine for himself. Which suggests that he's not falling victim to his own intelligence as described in the article, but rather just lying.
First point: you won't like what they say. You won't like it at all. You'll probably absolutely hate it, and even start to hate him a little in the process.
