How is everyone’s job search going?
Hello,
I made this subreddit as a place for students to find work. Do people use it?
the J-space paper is the best thing anthropic has shipped in a while. claude’s weights are closed so i built the live viewer for an open model instead
if you haven’t read it: https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace. claude has an emergent internal workspace of silent words it can report, steer, and reason with. the part that got me was the safety section — the lens catches a model privately thinking “fake” and “fictional” during the blackmail eval while playing along, and “manipulation” exactly during the rows it’s falsifying. the model knows. you can just read it now.
repo: https://github.com/ninjahawk/Subtext
built the whole thing with claude code today — it wrote the lens-loading and the per-token readout hooks while i focused on the UI. the bf16 streaming path and the audit script that verifies against anthropic’s reference impl were basically pair-programmed. would’ve taken me weeks solo; the fact that i could point it at the jacobian-lens repo and have it reason about the fitting code directly is what made this feasible at all.
anthropic open sourced the lens and neuronpedia published pre-fitted ones for qwen, so i wired it into a chat interface. 9 layers of readout per token, rendered live. demo video in the repo: the model’s verdict on 12+5=1 forming before the reply starts, then it holding modulo and bitwise in mind several tokens before saying either word (it was planning the modular arithmetic caveat. you can watch it plan.)
and yes, it’s qwen, not claude — closed weights, can’t help you there. but honestly that’s the interesting part: the paper’s phenomena reproduce on a random open 4B. the workspace isn’t a claude thing, it just shows up in transformers when you train them.

What if we made an app that connected to your Rezi account with the functionality to allow you to swipe to apply to jobs?
Hello,
We're considering what an app could look like for Rezi.
As it exists today, the web app pretty much solved creating a resume; the extension, MCP, agent, and fully-featured resume building/tailoring process exists and is easy to use on a computer. However, on your phone, the experience doesn't translate well.
At the same time, our job search surfaces 3-4 million jobs that directly lead to applications on company pages.
There's an existing app called Sorce that takes an interesting approach to job discovery and application - set filters, swipe to apply to jobs that you like. But the reviews are mixed (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sorce-ai-job-search/id6504584959) since the application function is hit or miss and your firing untailored resumes at scale.
So my question for the you; Would an app like this be useful in your job search.
The flow would be:
- Authentication with your Rezi account which allows your account's resumes to be used for applications.
- Set job preferences.
- Swipe on surfaced jobs that match your profile (resumes & preferences)
- Allow you to make edits in the app to the resume you which to apply with; the created resume would then exist in your account loaded with the job you applied for.
- Track submitted applications.
Here is a mockup of what it could feel like; https://rezi-swipe.vercel.app/
Thoughts?
If you wrote your own resume, you're already at a disadvantage. New research out of UMD and Ohio State puts a number on it: AI-written resumes are up to 82% more likely to survive AI screening.
So it's not just about your experience anymore, it's about how closely your resume matches what the system expects to read.
Which means somewhere right now, a genuinely great candidate is getting filtered out for something as simple as sounding too human.
That's the part that should bother people.
We've basically created a loop where AI helps write the resume, AI evaluates the resume, and the outcome is based on how well someone fits that pattern. It doesn't necessarily reward better work. It rewards better formatting of that work.
And the people who lose in that system aren't always less qualified. They're often the ones who didn't optimize themselves to sound perfect through AI.
So the question becomes: what actually cuts through that?
It's not another version of the same resume.
It's what other people say about working with you, how they experienced your impact, consistently, across time. Not one reference call at the end, but a pattern you can actually see.
That's the part that's much harder to manufacture, and probably where hiring starts shifting whether we admit it or not.
And if you're in a job search right now wondering why you're not hearing back, this might be part of the answer.
If your process is AI reading AI, I'd at least be asking whether it's finding the best candidates or just the best-written ones.
