What comes next after the AI interview is

As I was talking to an intern on my way home from a hangout, she said, "These days, all the interviews are AI interviews.

"Oh, all of them?"
Yes, AI makes me lose my temper.
Yes, it's hard to keep in time with it.
And they give me feedback at the end.
I'm getting that kind of advice in an interview.
"You need to dig a little deeper, or be more logical."
Wow, that's tough.

Large companies may receive hundreds or even thousands of applications, so they may want to narrow down the number of applicants who proceed to the interview process, given the number of people in the human resources department.

This change makes it difficult to comment on the spot when a person is interviewing, but with AI, you can even give quick advice to the applicant.

Of course, the applicants are sophisticated and probably have practiced mock AI interviews with AI counterparts in advance.

Now, I wonder how I would handle this AI interview thing if I were you.

It's a bit sneaky, but eventually they will use AI to plan their strategy.

The AI interview service is then asked to list the AI interview services that large companies are likely to use, and at the same time, compare their common specifications and differences, identify the range of settings that HR can make, determine which items are common to all companies and which items determine whether the AI interview is a match for a particular company, and determine what the AI itself looks for in the way it asks questions and what it looks for in terms of word structure, sentence structure, volume, tone, and facial expression (3 minutes so far). The AI itself will ask the questions in what form, and check what it is looking for in terms of word and sentence structure, voice volume and tone, and facial expressions (3 minutes have elapsed so far).

If the number of applicants is 300 to 100, and the ratio is expected to be 3 times, the average score may cause the applicant to be dropped, so the applicant should take the average as the base score and earn points only for the items in the top 1/3, and slip through (5 minutes have passed so far).

Only then do some AI mock interviews and score them. After that, we adjust the initial hypothesis and service specifications for any deviations, and let the AI mock interview become a part of our body of work. We will not do this for more than an hour, because if we do too much, we will over-optimize and be counterproductive. (Spend 60 minutes here).

And after thinking about it briefly, I have a sense that it's kind of a cycle.

For AI interviews, use AI to understand how the AI interview service works, fine-tune it with an AI mock interviewer, and get advice during the real AI interview.

Not only does the process of interviewing change, but it seems to imply something else.

If it is not just a "human to AI" interview, what does that mean?

Maybe it's a preview of the same operations in large companies by five years from now.

In other words, they work with AI against the goals set by AI, are evaluated by AI, and are trained by AI where they fall short.

If so, you may want to start now to anticipate the all-encompassing AI environment and how it should be there.

The combination should not explode.

Graph problems found in information engineering are often applied to organizations.

An organization is a group of people, and 10 people are more informative than 2.

As the number of people increases, the number of connections automatically increases, and as connections are made, information is exchanged, so the overall volume of information increases rapidly.

This is probably one of the reasons why some people seem to have a different temperature when there are many people in the room.

So, what kind of increase in the amount of information is there depending on the number of people?

The number is called the combinatorial explosion of the network, so let me quote a few words from that.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Combination Explosion
h ttps:// w.wiki/HSNh

In a computer network, the number of communication paths required increases rapidly as nodes are added. This is called a combinatorial explosion. In reality, however, the increase is not exponential, but strictly polynomial at best.

When two nodes need to communicate with each other, they can be directly connected by one appropriate one-to-one communication path. However, when a third node is added, three communication paths are needed: six for four nodes, ten for five nodes, fifteen for six nodes, and so on. Generalizing this, the number of communication paths l at n nodes increases on the order of the square of n, as follows

l = n(n-1)/2
l = n(n-1)/2

If we calculate the amount of information in terms of the number of people in the organization, l

l = 1 for 2 people
5 people, l = 10
10 people, l = 45
25 people, l = 300
50 people l = 1,225
100 for l = 4,950

The curve starts sharply at roughly the 15th person.

Therefore, when the number of employees exceeds 10, a method called "organization" is introduced.

We have organized the workforce by position, divided it into departments, defined job descriptions, created standardized flows, developed work rules, held company-wide presentations, and so on.

Well, when there is too much information to process, there is more uncertainty, so it is easier to create problems, speed slows down, profit margins drop, retirements increase, and so naturally you have to do something about it, which equals tinkering with the organization.

Perhaps the creation of KPI goals for each department is one mechanism to control this information explosion.

Hmmm...now that I've sorted all this out, I'm wondering what an "information explosion" really is.

Can't we make the information explosion operable instead of treating it as a bad thing like a higher order infinite set?

Just because there is a lot of information, is it okay to keep only the important information and cut out the rest?

Is it sufficient to simply introduce customary "organizational methods" just because the number of people has increased?

And now, going back to the premise of the combinatorial explosion, it is interesting to note that the nodes (people) and nodes are all equivalently connected.

If people were not equally connected and could be graded (concentrated) well, it would slow down the information explosion, and so on.

Once again, I bring you the rest of the quote from earlier.
ーーーーー
One way to reduce this is to put a generic means of mediating information at the center, in which case the number of communication channels need only be equal to the number of nodes n. The drawback in this case, however, is,

1: One-to-one communication may be possible without any specific procedures, such as telephone or teletype, but to support intermediary means, it is necessary to introduce some communication protocols, such as TCP/IP or SMTP, because it is necessary to control the route based on the destination attached to the communication contents.

2: If the central means of mediation fails or underperforms, all communications are affected.

Because of the disadvantages of 2:, actual designs do not always need to reduce the number of communication paths, but often build complex systems with a certain amount of redundancy.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yes, you can come up with many ways of doing things with just one way of thinking.

This year is the year of the Noon, so I would like to raise my gaze and think about the nature of activities in which people come together.

We look forward to your continued patronage as we begin the new year with a lighthearted spirit.

Money can buy time or it can't.

From a different place by chance.

"I'm thinking of covering the next round with debt (borrowing): ・・・・・・"
What do you think about raising equity here?"

I was asked for advice and returned similar feedback.

In other words, quite normal.

It's all well and good to raise money, but in the end it's not how you invest it (or how you burn it), but in what."

It is called.

Expression of burning money.

It is quite a thing, but it is often used in the business community.

As the word "cash burn rate" suggests, the idea is that spending large amounts of money quickly buys time and expertise.

Using the large amount of money raised through advances, the company quickly assembles talented people, rents a large office, decides on eye-catching partnerships, makes friends with reporters and editors, spreads awareness through commercials and social networking, plans future company values, and maximizes expectations before the funds run out, all over again.

If it works in a straight line, it is profitable, but there are some unexpected bottlenecks.

Money should speed up a lot of things, but some things can't be speeded up in any way.

For example, it would be easier to understand if we consider it in terms of a child's growth.

Even if you buy a year's worth of food and eat it in a week, it does not mean that you will immediately be the same height and weight you will be a year from now.

The point is that there are differences in speedups, and we should select those that can be properly sped up and those that cannot.

And the more you speed up the process, the heavier it will be later on, with a premium cost on the capital you raise (in terms of WACC: Weighted Average Cost of Capital).

So we invest in gradations in what we can speed up, but have the courage to gently watch over what we can't.

Since funds are at their peak when they are raised, I wonder if we will not be able to make things go well if we keep growing impatient in inverse proportion to the ever-decreasing amount of money.

WACC Weighted average cost of capital
WACC Weighted Average Cost of Capital
https://w.wiki/Hf$q

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the interest rate a company expects to pay on average to all holders of interest as consideration for raising assets.

Companies raise capital from a variety of sources, including common stock, preferred stock, and other related rights; straight bonds, convertible bonds, and other company stock convertible bonds; employee stock options, pension obligations, and executive stock options; and government grants. Expected returns are different for each funding source; WACC is calculated by considering the composition of the capital structure.

From the Belief/Belief Horizon

When you have several generative AIs explore the same theme, or when you have two generative AIs poke differences into each other by narrowing down the theme, you may feel that they are climbing the same mountain from different routes, or that they are going to different mountains even though they are supposed to be on the same path.

The destination diverges with each answer, and each step you take leads you to the next branch.

The same generative AI will give different answers depending on the timing and nuances of the question.

As I looked at it from afar, I thought it looked a bit like path integrals in physics, so I'll quote a bit from it.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Path integral
h ttps:// w.wiki/4z2s

In classical mechanics (classical system), the state of motion of a certain mass (path of motion) is uniquely determined by solving the equations of motion once the initial state is determined. On the other hand, in a quantum system, the path cannot be determined uniquely as in a classical system because of the existence of quantum uncertainty (quantum fluctuation).

There are several methods for determining the state of motion of elementary particles and other objects in quantum systems, one of which is the path integral method.

In the formula for path integral, the paths connecting the starting and ending points are innumerable and globally distributed. The result is obtained by computationally combining those innumerable paths. The probability distribution of the measured values obtained by the path integral method agrees with the probability distribution obtained by the usual operator form.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It is a complicated description, but I think what he is trying to say is that "the road may always be a little different.

It's not so much that we set out to reach a goal, but rather that we set out and then reach a goal, but always on a different road, so the goal might be different.

Since this is so different from search engines, which are based on classical logic operations, we have no choice but to move away from the "right/wrong, believe/believe horizon".

View in closed and open systems

When I talk to interns who have just joined the company, I sometimes think, "They seem so stiff.

That's not because I feel like my body is tense, but because I feel like I'm looking at things in a hardened way.

Ummm, I thought it was hard to express it well, so I'll borrow a term from another source, thermodynamics.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Systems (Natural Sciences)
h ttps:// w.wiki/48gN

In terms of thermodynamics, a system is classified in terms of the forms of energy transfer allowed to and from the external world. The forms of energy transfer considered in thermodynamics are work and heat, and energy transfer associated with the transfer of matter (mass).

abbreviation

A system that allows the transfer of matter to and from the outside world is called an open system, while a system that does not allow the transfer of matter is called a closed system. A closed system that does not allow the transfer of heat energy in addition to the transfer of matter is called an adiabatic system.

Furthermore, among adiabatic systems, a system that does not allow the transfer of energy due to work in addition to the transfer of matter and heat, in other words, a system that does not allow the transfer of any energy, is called an isolated system. In a system in which there is a limit to the transfer of energy to and from the outside world, the laws corresponding to that limit are established: the law of conservation of energy in an isolated system, the law of entropy increase in an adiabatic system, and the law of conservation of mass in a closed system.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm sorry to use an analogy, but I think that firm is probably "a stance that interprets in a closed system".

A method that calculates the end result based on the given conditions and knowledge already known.

There, a certain degree of law is established, and the magic of reproducibility emerges.

In this way, the future that I hope for seems to be something that I can reach by taking certain steps.

However, living in a society is full of uncertainties.

The premise is not stable because new elements are added or subtracted along the way, i.e., an open system.

So, it is hard to establish a law, and it is impossible to make a comprehensible outlook.

While being perplexed by the noise that comes unexpectedly, I will try adding to it, assembling it, looking at it, and reinterpreting it as if I were climbing a spiral staircase.

What a daze, and just in time because we have another new intern coming in next week.

I will ask casually and softly.

A company built backwards from the age of 80

When you run a company, you must be aware of the "retirement age" delineated by employment regulations and social insurance.

Although I would like to work with everyone all the time, I also feel that a line needs to be drawn when considering the success of the younger generation.

If you are forced to separate when you retire, how do you feel before and after?

You will still be somewhat lonely, you will feel a sense that something will be empty, and you will be reluctant to try new things.

If that is the case, how about "not daring to separate the two and looking at it from the opposite direction"?

In other words, there is no concept of retirement, and the company is able to adapt to any kind of illness.

You can keep going as long as you are motivated, and you can quit at any time.

You can choose once a week or five days a week, and you don't have to be in poor health to do it.

Work that can be done even if one's energy is diminished, hospitalized, or in need of nursing care.

It's up to him, but it would be fun to hand him a new job as a way of paying him a visit.

What kind of organization is built backwards from the average health of an 80 year old, instead of assuming the 20 to 50 year olds who are in the prime of their working lives?

What form of business would be available for such a new company?

I have been trying to do that recently, albeit singlehandedly.

A coordinate system that everyone can come back to

When the evening breeze turns cold, I carry my old telescope up to the roof of my office.

I watch the stars fluttering in the early evening and the crescent moon setting before heading home, and I find this annual routine surprisingly relaxing.

Three Hundred Sixty-Five Nights of Stars
Hoei Nojiri (Author)
h ttps:// www.chuko.co.jp/tanko/2022/04/005534.html

Shortly after ten o'clock, I saw Orion rising for the first time this year. I walked to the west side of the garden and watched it without any obstruction.

Not that I had not seen it at dawn in summer since I sent it off to the western horizon in late spring, but it was a fading figure, and tonight was the first time I had seen it in six months. I busied myself with the arrangement of the three stars, the small three stars, and the four stars surrounding them in a rectangle, their colors, and the blink of each eye, and felt a sense of relief.

This is something I have experienced every year around this time since I first saw them as a boy on a wintry night, and the impression of these magnificent constellations always seems young and fresh, as if I am seeing them for the first time. To be able to repeat this marvel and praise year after year, and even to repeat it until the day I die, is a privilege reserved for those who are close to the stars.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It is precisely because we enjoy adjusting to the ever-changing world that the time we spend standing back at the unchanging point seems to shine brighter than ever.

Since we are going to take on many challenges without ceasing in the company, I want to cherish a coordinate system that will bring us all back to the same place at this season like stars twinkling equally in the same place.

Just this month we started our 17th season, and I am going to work on those things that change/remain the same, first of all.

To a partner with a different background

Teaching and being taught is difficult.

I can't get the message across at all, no matter how much I try.
I don't know what to do after I've been taught.
The ideal person is someone who can naturally lead me to a great place.

Every time I heard a plausible(?) I was pacified every time I heard an opinion, but I wondered what I should really do.

To put it bluntly, since the other person and I are different people, I think it is essentially "impossible to teach/be taught.

And the fact that someone did well is predicated on his or her experience, personality, and timing.

If another person imitates it verbatim, there is no guarantee that it will work anywhere.

The dishonesty of continuing to teach/learn with the uncertainty that

But that doesn't mean you want to give up on delivering something to someone from a different background.

But, I don't know what to do.

I wonder what is good to be communicated and how it should be.

It was around this time that I came across the sentence of a single scoop.

I think that is still the basis of how we teach at Mogic.

If anything truly deserves the name of education, it is when one is able to educate oneself.

We are very passive when it comes to education, thinking that someone will take care of us, but it is much more active.

I feel that education is complete when you can develop within yourself the most demanding teacher.

Schools are there to provide a little guidance to help you achieve this.

Ishigaki Rin, a high school elementary school graduate, has written many times that he has always felt inferior in terms of his educational background, or perhaps he does not realize it, but he appears to be a rare person who has been able to educate himself rigorously.
He is a rare person who was able to educate himself strictly.
