Students are starting to wrap up their final year and now you’re all finally realising you can’t use the really fit pic your mate took of you at pre drinks to help secure a grad job. Well don’t worry because the girlbosses have served us all a gorgeous alternative and it involved Canva. In a viral TikTok video that’s had over one million views, TikTok user @amy_king_v generates a “professional, chic white blouse” on Canva and it’s wild how convincing it looks. In another video with over eight million views another TikTok user requests a professional shirt over their selfie and the final result is so convincingly real. Canva has a new magic edit tool allowing people to brush over a section of a photo and describe exactly what they want it to be turned into. For the headshot hack all you need to do is describe the professional looking shirt you want to replace what you’re wearing and the AI girlboss god will generate it for you. The tool isn’t spot on with the result and it can look a bit wonky at the end but who on LinkedIn is going to be able to tell? Here’s how you

Key highlights  People with green skills tend to have more job prospects, stronger professional networks, and are more resilient to economic downturns than the rest of the workforce. Data from LinkedIn indicates that demand for workers with green skills has increased more than supply. Linkedin is offering five free courses in sustainability and the green economy from now till the 30th of June, 2023. The green economy is a field that is aimed at sustainable development without compromising the environment and reducing environmental risks and due to the growing commercial emphasis on sustainability, there is a high demand for individuals with skills in the green economy. This is because most people with green skills tend to have stronger professional networks and are more resilient to economic downturns than the rest of the workforce. On LinkedIn, there are useful resources that are helpful for people who are looking for new opportunities, carrying out their current roles as sustainably as possible, or who just want to develop their skill set and consider their options. As a result of this, LinkedIn now offers sustainability courses and resources for anyone looking to make a strong business case, whether they are a sustainability professional, a

Large language models make things up, but the worse problem may be in how they present those falsehoods.Illustration by The AtlanticApril 25, 2023, 10:14 AM ETIf you spend any time on the internet, you’re likely now familiar with the gray-and-teal screenshots of AI-generated text. At first they were meant to illustrate ChatGPT’s surprising competence at generating human-sounding prose, and then to demonstrate the occasionally unsettling answers that emerged once the general public could bombard it with prompts. OpenAI, the organization that is developing the tool, describes one of its biggest problems this way: “ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.” In layman’s terms, the chatbot makes stuff up. As similar services, such as Google’s Bard, have rushed their tools into public testing, their screenshots have demonstrated the same capacity for fabricating people, historical events, research citations, and more, and for rendering those falsehoods in the same confident, tidy prose.This apparently systemic penchant for inaccuracy is especially worrisome, given tech companies’ intent to integrate these tools into search engines as soon as possible. But a bigger problem might lie in a different aspect of AI’s outputs—more specifically, in the polite, businesslike, serenely insipid way that the chatbots formulate their

Barbara Corcoran experienced every professional's worst nightmare: She landed her dream job, only to have the offer rescinded.Before the first season of ABC's "Shark Tank" aired in 2009, a producer's secretary reached out to Corcoran and asked the real estate tycoon to be an investor on the show. She "signed the contract without looking at it mailed it right back overnight," Corcoran said on a recent episode of Barstool's "Chicks in the Office" podcast.The euphoria didn't last long. Two weeks after she landed the gig, and a week before the show was set to film, Corcoran said she got a call informing her the producers decided to go with a different female investor.But Corcoran didn't take the rejection without protest."I was embarrassed. I told all my friends, 'I'm going to Hollywood,'" Corcoran, 74, said. "So I sat down and wrote an email right to them and said, 'You've made a mistake.'"Corcoran said she kept the email short, demanding that the producers "invite both women out to compete for the seat." The producers agreed, and she landed the job, she said. She has been an investor on "Shark Tank" for 14 seasons now.It's unusual for job offers to get rescinded

The Taraba State Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, on Sunday, raised an alarm over a fake LinkedIn account circulating in the state. The fake account in question was attempting to defraud applicants participating in the ongoing recruitment process embarked on by the commission. In a press statement made available to journalists in Jalingo, capital of Taraba, Corps Commander Selina Williams said it has become necessary to notify the public to prevent applicants from falling into wrong hands. She said: “FRSC recruitment process is on and there is a fake LinkedIn account operating on WhatsApp number 07069777732 and under the name Corps Marshal Dauda Biu with the intent to defraud innocent members of the public on the guise of offering them employment.” Rather than accessing the fake account, she directed applicants to visit the verified portal of the FRSC, www.recruitment.frsc.gov.ng Unlike the fake account that demands recruitment fees from applicants, Williams stressed that application on the commission’s website “does not attract any fee.” She, subsequently, enjoined prospective applicants and members of the public in Taraba State to be wary of fraudsters operating fake accounts.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says he worries about a few things. The success of his company isn't one of them.Asked if he was worried about Berkshire Hathaway's trajectory amid current economic headwinds, from banking failures to rising interest rates, the 92-year-old recently made his feelings clear on CNBC's "Squawk Box.""At 92, I've got other things to worry about ... I worry about the nuclear threat. I worry about a pandemic in the future, all kinds of ," Buffett said. "I never go to bed worried about Berkshire and how we'll handle a thing."Since Buffett took over Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, the company has grown to become one of the world's largest, with a market capitalization above $707 billion and a portfolio of investments including Geico, Dairy Queen, Duracell and Fruit of the Loom.Buffett also has a well-documented history of optimism — one that close friends like Melinda French Gates credit for his success. In 2017, a data scientist performed a sentiment analysis on decades of Buffett's annual letters to Berkshire's shareholders, and identified a surplus of positivity in Buffett's updates.It shows in his investment strategies: Buffett is a known proponent of choosing investments you believe in, regardless of their current
