Well, that took some effort. It has taken a serious conversation and good advice from a personal brand specialist, some navel gazing, and confronting surprisingly stubborn imposter syndrome and confidence issues after a couple of what turned out to be Kobayashi Maru gigs, I have a revamped LinkedIn profile that more closely presents what I “do”
Surprisingly it turns out pure software development is just one part
Take a look-I’m ready for my next challenge #GetFediHired
There is something in the news concerning META that all employees were told not to talk about. In my nearly 6 years here, they've only put a "hush" order 3x, and today is one of them.
So, naturally, let’s talk.
YES, Meta is not notifying people whose accounts were compromised by our AI. YES, they gave the AI full administrative access, well beyond the security credentials (access levels) of most of their paid staff. YES, even some Meta employees experienced their accounts being compromised.
NO, unfortunately, Mark Zuckerberg was not one of them; his account and a select few have their own "class" within the ecosystem (things don't work the same for them).
YES, the AI still has access, as they're looking for ways to keep the AI, not abandon it. We're told our future and your future include more AI, not less (though supposedly better regulated).
YES, the AI exposed deleted content, but most news outlets are not talking about it. Instead, they're sticking with the general story that accounts were compromised (technically, that counts as compromised, so it is not inaccurate, but it is not the full story). Lastly, YES, in some limited circumstances, the AI restored removed content (content that was previously removed by META).
"According to new research from consulting firm Robert Half reviewed by Fast Company, nearly a third (32%) of hiring managers say that their organizations eliminated a role or let someone go primarily due to productivity gains from AI or automation, and then later rehired for that same role."
