Original Summary
I have a bit of an odd background -- like a lot of folks, I became interested in IT security during the free fire zone that was the late 90s and early 2000s internet -- battlefield promoted at age 12 into household sysadmin was an... interesting dynamic. (Parents try to take compy away, it inevitably fills with bloatware after a few days)<p>Flash forward -- after reporting an insider threat, I don't currently work in IT security, and took on a job in retail.<p>They seem to struggle with statistics -- I'm having flashbacks to when my professors would pawn their conference reviews onto me.<p>One of the reasons I dropped out of my PhD was the circular firing squad of academic misconduct... well maybe misconduct is a bad word. Junk science?<p>People would use their influence to get a shitty paper into a top tier venue, then others would parrot their style and cry discrimination if they too weren't allowed to do shitty science.<p>Anyways... I have a background in policy and infosec that makes me uniquely skilled to help companies that SINCERELY want to use AI to improve their business flows.<p>Is there a market for this? I am speaking to you on a burner -- you could make one yourself and clue me in if I'm just too darn autistic and nobody actually wants to use AI to enrich the lives of others.<p>But it's not fun, having been gatekept for not being able to write C[1] only to now be gatekept by people who lack my technical skills and lateral thinking...<p>Anyways, are there roles like this? Is there a specific title I should look for? And at the meta level, why am I constantly told I have a plethora skills, but finding employment feels like a snipe hunt -- I was under the impression folks at my level are usually recruited, and I've been feeling lately like maybe there is no market for my skills and I should just... go live in the woods or something.<p>Anyways, to be fair I don't know a ton about LLMs, but that's because I mostly use them to write little scripts or translate primary sources I'm OSINTing... I think I could add value somewhere, but maybe I'm biased.<p>[1] python3 -c 'print("I can do python now")'
