My company has decided to update its hr page to use AI for reasons unknown.
So instead of the old workflow:
"visit HR page" → "click link that for whatever reason doesn't give you a permanent link you can bookmark for later"
it's now:
"visit HR page" → "do AI search for the same link which is suggested as the first option" → "wait 10-60 seconds for it to finally return something" → "click link that for whatever reason doesn't give you a permanent link you can bookmark for later"
Nvidia needs to continue selling chips like crazy, all companies in the US need to do their fair share to contribute!...
You joke, but it's literally in the interest of many companies to prop up the SP500 et al. by wasting money on M7 products, isn't it?
Bubbles require constant maintenance
Somebody's putting "AI expert" on their resume
Mine has as well, but it's pretty useful. It's really just a search engine though, but it's indexed confluence and all other internal sites and i've found it pretty useful for everything.
"click link that for whatever reason doesn't give you a permanent link you can bookmark for later"
Sounds like engagement hacking?
I think this is a weird SAML pattern I've seen before where e.g. Okta generates a URL that's like https://somevendor.com/SAML/somesignedbase64payload to do SSO, which is sort of the inverse of the more common approach of the page you're logging into sending you to the Auth provider after seeing your email domain.
This is just to make it an IdP initiated flow (instead of a SP initiated flow) and its to prevent the extra hop back and forwards between Okta/IdP and the application.
My assumption would be clumsy session tracking.
