In summary: these tech jobs in which employees earn a lot and have an important role on paper… except that in reality they are bored – the extent of the chaos after the takeoff of the huge Starship rocket, license B version pink paper soon becomes obsolete and all you need to know, and finally a developer has managed to make GPT-4 free.
In tech, some employees remain (highly) paid to do nothing!
The tech sector continues to be at the center of value creation in 2023, and this relatively abundant money sometimes leads to some pretty funny situations. Some large companies indeed retain so-called key positions, which are not really useful to them. This leads to the hiring of highly qualified people, very well paid, living in total job security… without being asked much on a daily basis. However, these employees are bored and do not feel useful. They spend their week attending useless meetings and waiting for an opportunity to show their skills without it ever actually happening… Here are some examples of the trades in question.
Experience the chaos caused by the liftoff of the massive Starship rocket
Thursday, April 20, we witnessed the takeoff of Starship, the largest rocket in the world, on the launch pad of Starbase in Texas. The test flight was rather a success, even if the rocket ended up exploding in flight. But on the launch pad, it was a whole different story: as if a huge bomb had exploded. The ground has dug a huge crater, debris flew in all directions, dust invaded the sky. Starship revealed that it was not a rocket like the others – but a monster 119 meters high, capable of ravaging everything in its path. We offer you a return on the damage caused by this huge machine at “ground zero”.
The pink paper version of the B license is almost over: all you need to know
If you have a B permit in the pink paper version, therefore issued before 2013, you should know that its days are now numbered. Indeed, from January 19, 2033, this piece of plasticized cardboard (moreover quite fragile), will become obsolete. It will be compulsorily replaced by the new “credit card” format, which is much more robust and above all similar to its equivalents in all European countries. We invite you to know all the details about this transition, its reasons, what will happen to your old driver’s license and what the change will cost in concrete terms.
Want to test ChatGPT-4 without paying? It’s possible !
As you know, OpenAI allows everyone to use ChatGPT 3.5 released less than six months ago. But if you really want to access the GPT-4 model, which is immensely more powerful and capable (especially for coding, or creating particularly well-constructed long texts), you must subscribe to the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription ($24 per month). However, a developer has just found a trick to give as many people as possible access to the GPT-4 model without having to subscribe to this subscription. Here are all the details.
That’s all for today. Find next week a new Lemon-pressed to stay connected to the news that should not be missed!
