I have heard from friend that teach in higher end that students are struggling more and more with getting information from text. It seems those students have now found there way into the work force.
bruh i know people in their 40s making 6 figures that couldn’t read an error message if it would save ten generations of their family.
Was going to say, very much seems like the opposite of a generational problem. Seems more like everything we’d vaguely define as ‘the tech industry’ has become big enough that it’s workforce now includes the individuals who wouldn’t have been considered competent 10 years ago.
>>> students are struggling more and more with getting information from text >>> found there way >> people [...] that > it's workforceThe question is whether this running gag is intentional.

One of my old coworkers from a place I no longer work would come to me for every exception his code threw. Being generous, I understand his intentions, he was curious if they were known problems or things to avoid. That said, every time I asked him what line of code it happened on or if he’d searched online about it the answer was no. I was probably ~25 at the time and had a bachelor’s degree. He was definitely at least 50 and had a PhD.
Note that “kids these days” is the flipside to “old people are out of touch”.
The video is 15 minutes long and at the four-second mark flashes a screenshot from Zoolander, in which the protagonist unveils the “Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good.”
It also features a punchy techno backing track while wasting the reviewer’s time with approximately 14 minutes of inactivity.
Should have had a single tone growing in volume and intensity
The best would be to have recorded audio that slowly goes down in volume, with the tone at full blast at the end
Should have been an AI generated voice narrating the issue showing the words on the screen with Minecraft gameplay as background.
Idiocracy is now
Honestly, I would encourage any researcher who gets a brush-off response like this as a response to a real and meaningful security report to lean even harder into malicious compliance. Simply post it to TikTok or Instagram or whatever - and I am intentionally picking the pervasive platforms that I despise and find problematic, simply because they have the largest user bases. If it’s “not a problem”, they shouldn’t mind if how-to videos explaining how to elicit the “not problematic” behavior start going viral.
That wouldn’t get you paid though.
They’re not going to pay you if they classify it as “not a problem”. And you get what you pay for.

Is there a video version of this article?
The most likely explanation for requesting a video is to weed out low quality AI-generated “vulnerability” submissions that hallucinate code that doesn’t compile or APIs that don’t exist. In that context a 1 minute video showing that the report is viable is not much to ask for.
Maybe in some cases. But I’ve been requested by Google support to provide a video for a very simple and clear issue we were having. We have a contract with them and we personally brought up the issue to a Google employee during a call. There was no concern of AI generated bullshit, but they still wouldn’t respond without a video. So maybe there’s more to this trend than what you’re theorizing.
Have you considered that you may be a hallucinating AI yourself?.. Quick, try drawing a full glass of wine!
Probably so they can have an AI Agent watch the video and do the thing or some bullshit
AI agent would process text much easier…
But they need to look busy! Chug along the video!
You need to include videos of Subway surfers and Family Guy funny moments on the sides of the report, and a compilation of satisfying videos in the background
