this is what "fake it 'til you make it" is supposed to mean. Act like you can do the job while you work crazy hard to learn something fast enough to actually be able to do it well.

Bullers
@db
Raises an interesting question: would you rather hire someone with knowledge of using AI and research tools who is unqualified at first, or someone with the work history but not tapping into AI tooling? Depending on the role if it gets the job done + explores areas the other applicants may not have it could be a benefit to the company.

great point. reminders me of a decade ago I was working on speech recognition and remember researchers talking about when neural networks took over. originally you needed deep knowledge of linguistics and human speech (English has 44 phonemes, etc) and then ~2012, researchers who didn't know anything about that stuff but were good with NNs made end-to-end NN models that were better than state of the art. suddenly someone w/ a PhD in Linguistics and a decade of speech work had all of his knowledge made basically obsolete.
