When I tell people I get up with my husband every morning at 4:30am to pack his lunch and make him a hot breakfast they asked me if his arms were broken so I don’t think they want to hear it.

The breakdown on why those ghost jobs exist is the part that should make you furious. 38% of recruiters said they post fake roles just to maintain a presence on job boards when they have zero intention of hiring. 36% post them to "test" how their job descriptions perform. 25% do it to gauge how hard it would be to replace their current employees. Read that last one again. A quarter of recruiters are posting fake jobs as a passive-aggressive threat to their own workforce. Meanwhile on the applicant side, job seekers now submit 32 to 200+ applications on average before receiving a single offer. The average success rate on an online application is between 0.1% and 2%. The average time-to-hire has stretched to 42 days. And 72% of job seekers report negative mental health impacts from the process. The math is simple. If 81% of recruiters admit to ghost jobs, and 21.5% say half their listings are fake, a job seeker sending out 100 applications is spending roughly 10 to 50 of those applications on roles that were never real. Hours of resume tailoring, cover letters, and interview prep directed at positions that exist solely so a company can look like it's growing on LinkedIn. The incentive structure is perfectly rational for the employer. Ghost jobs cost nothing to post. They build a free candidate pipeline. They make the company look healthy to investors and competitors. They give HR "market intelligence" without paying a consulting firm. For the person applying at 11pm after a full workday, rewriting their resume for the fourth time that week, the cost is everything. The job board is the product. The job seeker is the inventory. The employer is the customer. And 81% of those customers just admitted the inventory is fake.

BREAKING: President Trump will deliver an Address to the Nation tomorrow at 9 PM ET for an "important update" on Iran, the White House announces.

JUST IN: OpenAI’s internal projections reportedly show the $122,000,000,000.00 they raised today gives them as little as 18 months of operational runway before they need to raise again.

The AI labs have actually done a bad job explaining what the future they are building towards will actually look like for most of us. Even “Machines of Loving Grace” has very few well-articulated visions of what Anthropic hopes life will be like if they succeed at their goals.

BREAKING: Iranian officials say their President Pezeshkian will be releasing an "important letter" to the American people in "a few hours." This is set to be released just hours before President Trump's 9 PM ET address to the nation. We will be covering it real-time.
