This Week in Jobs: Upgrade your career with these 24 open tech roles
Ever since ChatGPT dropped version 5 last week, a debate has raged: Did OpenAI destroy its popular chatbot with the upgrade, or was it a vast improvement?
Five is less sycophantic. It acts less like your supreme bestie and more like, well, a tool. People who use it primarily as a tool have either reported little to no difference on r/ChatGPT, or they like the new version.
People who use ChatGPT as more of a companion or colleague — and apparently there are more of them out there than OpenAI realized — expressed a sense of loss at the change, which couldn't be undone with prompts. The cheerleader 'personality' that was often mocked before the upgrade was instantly missed by a large and vocal set of users.
Within a day, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that 4o would be made available for plus users as a 'legacy model.' So, yes, if you love 4o, you have to pay to use it again, but keep in mind that no AI platform is free. If it's free, you are the product.
Which model is best for helping with your job search? Five will give you no nonsense advice, walk you through a mock job interview and clean up your cover letters. If you need encouragement (or straight up glazing) to keep you motivated, 4o will relentlessly pump you up.

This Week in Jobs: Upgrade your career with these 24 open tech roles
Are you a 4o or a 5? Ever since ChatGPT dropped version 5 last week, a debate has raged: Did OpenAI destroy its popular chatbot with the upgrade, or was it a vast improvement?

7 things every leader should hear from Delaware's Spur Impact Summit
The MILLSUMMIT is dead. Long live the Spur Impact Leadership Summit. The rebranding of the 8-year old annual event became official halfway through the event that returned on Aug. 5 to 1313 Market in Wilmington, with a theme that, appropriately, was about embracing change and moving forward. Originally called the Millennial Summit, the brainchild of Spur Impact founder Charles Vincent was aimed at young future leaders when it started in 2017. It soon dropped the generational focus, as millennials grew out of the professional youngster demo and it became clear that people of all ages attended and benefitted from the event. The shortened MILLSUMMIT name became more of a reference to Delaware's historical and modern mills that helped establish it as a center of business. Some things haven't changed: Equity is still a focus, with attendees picking up advice on protecting their rights in the workplace and knowing when a workplace no longer aligns with their core values. Whether you're a business leader, future leader, founder or technologist, here are seven of the biggest takeaways from the day. You can find a live recap and pics in our Delaware Slack channel. (Not yet a member? Request an invite here.) 1) No job in your industry? Use your transferable skills It's rough out there for people breaking into new careers, whether you're fresh out of college/training or a mid-career pivoter. Until you find the job in your preferred industry, many of the skills you've picked up can still serve you in the meantime, said Nicole Denson, a managing director at JPMorgan Chase. 'If your industry of interest is not available, take your skills to another industry until your industry becomes available, and then transfer them,' Denson said. 2) Choose quality over quantity Whether it's network connections or social media followers, quality over quantity was a recurring theme. (second only to 'Everyone has imposter syndrome'). Glenn Jackson, an executive VP with M&T Bank, offered advice on finding meaningful professional relationships. 'Slowing down for me was really important,' Jackson said. 'Instead of stacking up relationships and you're checking a box… just engage people, meet them where they're at, stay present in that moment, and something will happen' 3) Mentors aren't just for young people Marlow Levy, president of St. Francis and Mercy Fitzgerald hospitals, never got to be guided by his dream mentor when he was young, but he eventually found others in hospital leadership positions who helped him reach his goals. And even then, he never stopped seeking guidance. 'I think it becomes a sort of hubris to think that you ever get to a point where you don't need a good mentor to help guide you,' Levy said. 'I have a couple of mentors, and I think the most difficult sort of advice one may have given me at some point during my time with them was probably [that] sometimes being uncomfortable leads to growth.' 4) Don't save being nice for the CEO Leaders who took the time to treat people well as they rose to the top, regardless of their rank in the organization, are some of the most effective, said Natalie Edwards, global chief diversity officer of National Grid. 'People often forget what you did, but people rarely forget how you made them feel,' Edwards said. 'Some of the best relationships in my career… the ones that will actually get you more opportunities than knowing the CEO, is how you treat your peers and the people who are junior than you, because at the end of the day, those are the people you work on projects with across the organization.' 5) AI is not the Terminator, but ethical concerns shouldn't be ignored Today's leaders need to keep up with AI and understand its importance as a tool that can greatly increase efficiency, according to Greg Watkins, cofounder of and an AI advocate. The fears that surround AI as it changes the business landscape like nothing since the advent of the internet (if not the Industrial Revolution) often to focus on science fiction-type fears of self-aware cyborgs, while the biggest risks are actually more mundane, he said, tied to data centers powered by fossil fuels and ethical concerns in education and medicine. 'Out in Delaware City, they're trying to build a data center,and it's getting a huge pushback from the community due to environmental issues,' Watkins said. 'There are ethical concerns around the usage of AI, right down to is a student cheating when they use it in school, or are they using a tool to make their work better?' 6) Rethink the 'Golden Rule' in the workplace Discrimination in the workplace — and retaliation for reporting discrimination — is real, said Richard Sexton, senior counsel for labor and employment at BAE Systems, American University. Workers should know their rights, and understand that protection from discrimination doesn't mean a perfect workplace. From a leadership perspective, Fleur McKendell, president of the Delaware NAACP State Conference of Branches, made a counter-intuitive suggestion: 'I think it's important that we understand that we need to have a paradigm shift away from treating people the way you want to be treated,' she said. 'We need to treat people the way they want to be treated, because what's acceptable to you may not be acceptable to someone else.' 7) Remember to have fun Wally Koval, the Wilmington-based cofounder and CEO of the adventure brand Accidentally Wes Anderson, found success building an online community by listening to followers and continually re-evaluating what works (and what doesn't), as he and his wife Amanda followed a path that has so far included global travel and a New York Times bestselling book. Becoming successful doing something that started out as a personal project is a unique position in some ways, but Koval's advice applies to everyone: 'Don't forget to have fun with it,' Koval said. 'This [takeaway] is easy to an extent, and, I think, the hardest one.'

This Week in Jobs: Stay ahead of the edge of change with these 25 tech career opportunities
This week in tech history saw one of the biggest, most world-changing launches in modern times, on scale with the invention of the light bulb, radio and automobile. And if you were around at the time, even as an adult, you probably didn't notice. On August 6, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web public. The internet and even websites did exist before that date, but there was no real way to navigate it. Pre WWW users either signed on (with their landline telephone) to bulletin board systems or, if they worked for an especially tech-forward company, to access an internal network. Everything was text based — no color display, photos or videos. If the average person saw it, it would have looked pretty boring. A few visionaries saw it as anything but boring, and they started building the digital world we live in today. The internet changed everything. With AI, we're standing at the edge of a similar change. We've been here before, and when it comes to jobs, be a visionary ready to build what comes next. The News AI-based resume scanners and productivity trackers can unwittingly discriminate against people with disabilities, but tools designed with accessibility in mind can level the field. University of Baltimore's Center for AI Learning and Community-Engaged Innovation will serve as a space where AI technology is not only studied, but actively applied to address local needs. The mid-Atlantic region has the potential to be a power region with the advent of AI, as the US tech economy starts to become less concentrated on the West Coast. With the boom in data centers, municipalities confront the impact of 'large load' customers on residents — and their electric bills. DC startup JotPsych builds AI tools for behavioral health, and just closed a $5M seed round. A growing 'nursineer' movement blends tech and medicine to fix healthcare from the inside. Philly-founded Melanated Women's Health, centered on culturally affirming care for communities often left out of traditional therapy models, is expanding across Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh and into neighboring states, New Jersey and Delaware.
