‼️ HYPEBEAST CULVER’S ‼️

Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT. The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time. A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B. Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself. GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won. Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective. It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect. Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance. 99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time. If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars. Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

even the guys whose job is making you use AI don't want to use AI

I know Giannis trade speculation went stale a long time ago, but this one is especially silly. The owner that won’t even pay for playoff t-shirts is gonna fork over enough cash for GIANNIS???

Now Democrats NEED to do the same to the Paramount-Skydance deal. Or this will happen:

once again begging the media to use the term “child sex abuse material (CSAM)” and not “child pornography” there is no such thing as “child pornography” and the use of that language trivializes the sexual abuse and exploitation of children

A few good books worth reading: - The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle - a classic that celebrates builders. Once you read it, you’ll notice the same characters and exits taking place in the Valley today. - If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff - great for understanding how incentive cascades shape civilizations and how crypto can help align stakeholders. -Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (founder of an unclaimed island) - talks about sailing off and becoming king of the locals, worth reading for understanding nation-building.

Looking like a CBS cop show that inexplicably has 8 million weekly viewers

@youngneandrthal I have never been this ready for Lawrence University tea in my life

@giveashitnature @hckywtchr the drama i could share regarding NMM and the professors involved…

In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring. Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut. Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks. Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail. Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming. The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days. Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?

sometimes i wish the bins were honest

reiterating as we have a week to go: people (or brands themselves) pay ~350k for a met gala table. they then invite people to sit at their table. anna wintour gets final say on those invitees. it's how the entire event makes money & stays relevant. now repeat that back to me

@AshleyInMKE the hashtag is giving sponcon…

Really starting to hate this guy. GET IT RIGHT OR PAY THE PRICE.

@grovymango Ferris Bueller is gonna be pretty high on folks’ lists, and High Fidelity is also a great choice, but I’m shocked more people haven’t said While You Were Sleeping or My Best Friend’s Wedding! The Batman trilogy was also “set” in Gotham, but filmed in real-life Chicago.

Might visit Chicago this summer. What are some movies or shows set in Chicago i should watch so I can have an elevated experience as a potential chicagoboo

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

@AndrewHilaryUS My graphic design skills are too lacking for this, but I’m following along! Amazing idea!!!

Ice Cream Cat Summer is coming. Who wants to make me a flyer?

@BrutalBrittany2 @AriDrennen Depends on which part of the country you live in, and how much money you have. California has a lot of new construction, so many apartments have A/C, as do many houses in recently developed suburbs. It was much harder to find while house hunting in Milwaukee last year.

@AriDrennen Isn't AC already the standard of living in US? So how is it going to become more common? People use ice with AC

@miawaukee I will say that has panned out okay for me, though at longer intervals than 16 months! A year ago we were looking at houses in West Allis. I am tweeting this from my apartment in Silicon Valley. Two or three years from now we’ll be back in the Midwest.

@AshleyInMKE @GallaMicka18105 I’d rather live with less in Milwaukee County than be in a castle in the corn. For me, personally, I can’t drive, so living in a rural area would mean near-total social isolation, and complete dependence on my spouse to get around. We will make it work.

@GallaMicka18105 @BaileyRoseBoyle Horrible take

$250k is not a fucking starter home in the Midwest. Can we please be so for real ?

@AshleyInMKE Yeah, it’s hard to know what we’re gonna do. Maybe I’ll hit you up in a few years and see about renting your basement. 😂

@BaileyRoseBoyle I’m worried about that for you and everyone else. Things have changed so much and so quickly. We bought a small house for 150k in 2019. Sold it for 197 in 2022 and moved here, spending way more. Value of our home here has increased by 65k in that time.
