Here's a hilariously over-the-top AI job posting that one of those grifters (Luc Du Pont of Phoenix Core Entertainment) recently sent to me.

Anybody want to develop work in "hackathon" format to train AI to play PONG, in exchange for promises of equity and a cut of profits instead of cash for your time?

This Big Idea Guy assured me: "Biggest thing is i solved the hard ai/cognitive problem. Hence our secrecy".

Color me impressed! Who wouldn't want to work passionately for promises of peanuts in exchange for a piece of that pie?

And not only has he trademarked "Synthetic Cognitive Identities (TM)" but also he's applied to trademark "ARTIFICIAL PERSONALITY".

All that groundbreaking top secret trademarked AI technology solving "the hard ai/cognitive problem" just to play PONG. But can it pass butter?

Also his now-shut-down Twitter account and his own words when I confronted him about it prove that he is a flaming homophobic transphobic bigot who retweets White Supremacist propoganda, so you better not apply if you're remotely "woke," or aren't qualified and willing to singlehandedly develop a cutting edge MVP on Unity and Unreal Engine at the same time.

Pick a lane, dude.

Oh and you'd also better know how to use Bayes' Theorem to cover your Posterior = Likelihood × Prior ÷ Evidence. He though he'd just throw that qualifying requirement in to filter out the charlatans.
