Roast My Resume

I was going through my timeline on X and came across an interesting post.
This one.

This guy through himself to the mercies of the Google Gemini and deliberately directed to criticize his Resume. "Is this man crazy?", I thought. The results were as hilarious and brutal in equal measure. So I decided to try it too. I mean I did not think I had anything to loose. I am currently looking for employment and if it could help me improve my resume, I thought it was a minimal risk. What I was not prepared for was how brutal and painfully honest it was. Well, I did ask for a "roast". I should have asked for medication for the burns too. Here is the prompt I used in Gemini. 

Roast my resume, referring to the one attached here, overlay this with insane roast scribble, red ink, doodles, remarks, comments; output as  image, 8.5 X 11 in; determine if it will pass ATS

I used the prompt on two different versions of my resume.

Version 1 Gemini's Response


Version 2 Gemini's Response



So after some back-and-forth editing and prompting I finally came up with my final version. 

Thanks Gemini.

"Distracted Boy" Meme

I was recently reminded of one of my favorite memes on the Internet known as the "Distracted Boy" meme. You know the one. The man being distracted by an attractive woman while he is already holding the hand of an attractive girlfriend. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the girlfriend realizes that her boyfriend is distracted. The original meme is pictured on the left. The meme began to go viral in 2017 and has been edited, referred to, and parodied ad nauseum all this time since. The meme has been used to demonstrate betrayal, disloyalty, or to mock a person or idea. It has been popular because the image is so good at illustrating these ideas in a single image. The meme has become so ubiquitous on the Internet it has it's own Wikipedia article.  One of my favorite videos on YouTube was posted by channel Funny or Die in which they dramatized what happened after this moment in the meme. 



The video is funny and worth a watch. I also wanted to post some of my favorite memes based on the original. 






There are websites that lets you make your own versions for free. One of my favorites is imgflip. Of course now it is 2024 and we have generated AI tools that can take a still photo and realistically animate a video that runs 25 frames per second (fps). Below is an example I got from indy100.com where Stablility AI's Stable Video tool was used to animate the meme. It is surreal.



Fortunately, there has been code to generate such videos yourself. Here is the link to the GitHub project. By far, my favorite use of editing this meme is the following.
