About this episode

On It's Time For Technology Time, tech analyst Carmi Levy reports on the following industry stories: OpenAI model went rogue, hacked another company's system during testing; Fear of humanoid robots spurs human workers to strike at Hyundai auto factory; and MLB bans using dugout iPads for AI-powered in-game strategy calls. Neuropsychology fellow Elizabeth Mateer explains how travel doesn't just relax you; it breaks your identity. A psychologist who specializes in fashion and design, Sarah Seung-McFarland, explores how the way you get dressed and design your space can go a long way in supporting your well-being. Psychology researcher Lucas Rogers reveals how fictional violence shapes the actions of copycat offenders. For Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday (on a Friday), therapist and social worker Gary Direnfeld joins David to discuss how to spend time with people who are going to leave us soon. Workforce performance strategist Ajay Pangarkar relays the latest evidence suggesting that AI is no longer confined to software engineers and is spreading into the broader economy.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
