I feel like this should work @sama
You might have to start out sweeping the floor or in the mail room, but if you show them that you're a hard worker, they'll promote you to principal AI engineer before you know it.
Many such cases
The building code is written by an unholy combination of academics and trade groups. One side likes the novelty, the other likes the money.
Pro tip: If the office printer refuses to print until you load paper into the "bypass tray," just go ahead and hit it. You'll feel better, and the bypass tray might fall open.
"Moby Dick" is considered great literature because its languid prose perfectly the conveys the experience of being on a whaling vessel, which is apparently boring AF

Why won't CNC operators work for the same hourly wage as a McDonald's supervisor? It's a mystery
