Featured in the @WSJ this week!
I am glad reverse recruiting is having its moment.
Great piece by @lindsayaellis which has generated a lot of conversation about how tough the white-collar market is right now.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
Itโs the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

My company @reverse_recruit was described in the @WSJ article. I disagree that "It's less about vanity and more about survival." Many of our candidates want to get a job faster or with higher pay, they're employed and not desperate.
Job hunting has gotten so backwards that ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐.
Dubbed "reverse recruiting," job seekers are paying fees, monthly retainers, or even ๐ญ๐ฌ%+ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ just to get in front of a hiring manager.
That's because ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ๐.
And the average search time? About 6 months, according to December federal data.
To help in the hunt, ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ.
It's less about vanity and more about survival.

Prospective mid-career workers are reporting hundreds of applications before interviews appear, if they appear at all.
But the market itself isn't discriminating.

So workers are staying put and companies are scared to commit.
It's leaving us in a feedback loop from hell where low employment and even lower mobility are kneecapping job hunters.
Fair article on the interview machine we've developed for job seekers.
Critical point: for candidates, we email and message 5-10 people at every company we submit a job application to, with highly personalized messages.

The fastest way to waste a year:
Build something nobody asked for, spend six months perfecting it, launch it, hear crickets, then finally ask people what they actually want.

Thank you Dr. @hjluks for highlighting our study!
Sedentary (healthy) individuals already have mitochondrial decay and dysregulation of cellular bioenergetics and metabolic health which eventually will lead to disease.
Physical activity is a fundamental evolutionary trait of humans, deeply embedded in our genes. Yet in modern society, inactivity has become normalized, and exercise is now seen as an โintervention.โ In reality, physical activity is our natural state while sedentarism represents the true deviation, a side effect of modern life.
I couldnโt agree more on the actions that you suggest. We need significant changes of policies driven by world governments ๐ฏ

First came the Amazon One palm reader at Whole Foods checkout stands. Now, Sam Altman wants you to pay for thingsโand verify your identityโwith a scan of your irises via an orb that stores biometric information on the blockchain.
