India Used AI During Operation Sindoor Against Pakistan | Vantage with Palki Sharma
During Operation Sindoor, India heavily deployed Artificial Intelligence or AI against Pakistan. During Offensive missions, the Rafale jet used AI for optimal strikes on terror pads deep inside Pakistan. Meanwhile, India's Air Defence System also used AI to track and shoot down projectiles fired by Pakistan. This means India is most likely the first nation in the world to deploy AI on the battlefield. Meanwhile, India has announced a ₹50,000 crore package for the defence after Operation Sindoor.

Tech firm interviews 450 out of 12,000 applicants, hires none. Here's why
A tech company's hiring drive for a junior developer role took an unexpected turn as not a single candidate made the cut, despite 12,000 applications and 450 interviews.A Reddit post, now doing the rounds online, revealed how the company's recruitment process hit a wall when most candidates turned out to be over-reliant on AI-generated code. 'We recently posted a job opening on LinkedIn for Junior Frontend/Backend Devs and QA roles, offering a salary range up to Rs 20 lakh,' the post read. advertisement 'Over 12,000 people applied. We filtered out more than 10,000 candidates due to insufficient skill sets or resumes that didn't align with the role, not because we want to be harsh, but because we don't want to waste candidates' time as well as ours by putting them through interview rounds only to reject them later,' it added. The role was open to junior developers, and even though the company permitted the use of tools like ChatGPT during the process, they were met with answers that lacked understanding.'We even allowed candidates to use GPT to solve problems,' the post read, adding, 'However, when we ask about time or space complexity, or an explanation of the code they just wrote, many are unable to respond.'The hiring team pointed out that most applicants were 'vibe coding,' copy-pasting AI responses without grasping the underlying logic. advertisementAccording to the post, this has made it nearly impossible to identify candidates who genuinely understand what they're company also admitted that the entire process has left it questioning how to refine its recruitment methods going a look at the post here: The post received mixed reactions online. While several users supported the company's frustration, others called out the flawed interview strategy.'Either your recruiting team is bringing you bad devs or your process has some issue,' a user pointed out, while another wrote, 'Allowing AI in DSA round is more of a red flag. This seems more like a boast about how no one's good enough.'One user suggested a solution the company might already be adopting: 'Apparently, we are switching to quiz-based interviews on DoSelect. Once cleared, then the Google Meet round.'The post has sparked a wider debate about AI-dependency in job applications and the evolving challenges in hiring genuine talent in the tech world.

AI and future of jobs: Here's what top tech CEOs Sam Altman, Jensen Huang are saying
As more companies adopt artificial intelligence and automate jobs, fears about AI's impact on low-level tasks and entry-level roles have sparked a heated debate about the future of white-collar jobs—especially among those just entering the workforce. Despite widespread fears that artificial intelligence could automate jobs and reduce employee wages, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes that while jobs are undoubtedly evolving in the AI era, entry-level white-collar roles won't be entirely wiped out. Huang leads Nvidia, now the world's most valuable technology company. 'Some jobs will be obsolete, but many jobs are going to be created… Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people,' Huang said at the VivaTech conference in Paris last week. His comments were in response to recent claims by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who warned that up to 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs could be eliminated by AI, potentially pushing unemployment to 20% within the next five years. 'One, he believes that AI is so scary that only they [Anthropic] should do it. Two, that AI is so expensive, nobody else should do it… and three, AI is so incredibly powerful that everyone will lose their jobs, which explains why they should be the only company building it,' Huang said. 'I think AI is a very important technology; we should build it and advance it safely and responsibly. If you want things to be done safely and responsibly, you do it in the open… Don't do it in a dark room and tell me it's safe.' While Huang believes that AI will open more career opportunities in the future, OpenAI's Sam Altman have a different view on how artificial intelligence may impact the job market. According to Altman, whose company makes the most advanced LLM, expects there could be 'whole classes of jobs going away' as AI develops. 'The rate of technological progress will keep accelerating, and it will continue to be the case that people are capable of adapting to almost anything,' he said in a blog post last week. 'There will be very hard parts like whole classes of jobs going away, but on the other hand, the world will be getting so much richer so quickly that we'll be able to seriously entertain new policy ideas we never could before. We probably won't adopt a new social contract all at once, but when we look back in a few decades, the gradual changes will have amounted to something big.' According to Altman, while the job landscape may change in the coming years, there will also be new opportunities created by superintelligence: '…maybe we will go from solving high-energy physics one year to beginning space colonization the next; or from a major materials science breakthrough one year to true high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces the next.' Huang and Altman aren't the only tech CEOs with strong views on AI and jobs—Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu also has clear thoughts on how AI could impact employment. According to Vembu, if artificial intelligence disrupts the job market, there are two possible outcomes: the prices of automated goods and services could drop significantly, or the remaining human-centered professions may see a substantial increase in pay. 'On the subject of AI and jobs: Hypothetically, if all software development were to be automated—I want to emphasize that we are nowhere close to that goal—and all software engineers like myself were out of work, it's not as if human beings would have nothing to do.' Vembu also pointed out the broader economic challenge: 'How do people afford all the goods that pour out of automated factories that employ no workers?' Meanwhile, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman believes that what young people learn in college isn't the most important factor when it comes to getting a job. According to Hoffman, the ability to apply AI tools and leverage connections is far more essential to landing a job. ''It isn't specific degrees, specific courses, [or] even necessarily specific skills that are relevant to you,'' he said in a recent video on his YouTube channel. 'It's your capacity to say, 'Hey, here is the new tool set, here's the new challenge.' That is actually what the future work's going to look like. One thing is to not focus on the degree, but to focus on how you learn and to be continually learning,' Hoffman said. ''The other part of college that's super important, that you should not forget, is that life is a team sport, not just an individual sport,' he continued. 'You can help each other.' In recent months, more and more tech CEOs have weighed in on the rise of AI and its impact on the job market. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has urged workers to embrace AI to stay competitive. 'If you're an artist, a teacher, a physician, a businessperson, a technical person—if you're not using this technology, you're not going to be relevant compared to your peer groups, your competitors, and the people who want to be successful,' Schmidt said at TED 2025 in May. 'Adopt it, and adopt it fast,' he warned. Others have downplayed the likelihood of widespread job losses due to AI. Among them is Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who described AI as an 'accelerator' for productivity and new jobs—while still acknowledging the importance of Dario Amodei's concerns and the need for an industry-wide debate. Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, has expressed less concern about labor impacts, focusing instead on the broader risks of AI. Meanwhile, Bill Gates has argued that AI will lead to a proliferation of much-needed expertise across industries.

Tech Company Fails To Hire After 450 Interviews, Says Candidates Are Copy-Pasting From AI
A tech company recently took to Reddit to express disappointment after failing to hire a single candidate for a junior developer role. In its post, the anonymous firm revealed that around 12,000 people had applied, and 450 were interviewed. However, it ultimately didn't hire anyone, citing concerns that a large number of applicants relied heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) tools for coding without truly understanding the underlying logic. "We recently posted a job opening on LinkedIn for Junior Frontend/Backend Devs and QA roles, offering a salary range up to Rs 20L. Over 12,000 people applied. We filtered out more than 10,000 candidates due to insufficient skill sets or resumes that didn't align with the role, not because we want to be harsh, but because we don't want to waste candidates time as well ours by putting them through interview rounds only to reject them later," the company wrote. "We even allowed candidates to use GPT to solve problems. However, when we ask about time or space complexity, or an explanation of the code they just wrote, many are unable to respond," it added. Took more than 450 interviews for a single vacancy. No one got selected. by u/ZestycloseWater5742 in developersIndia Further, the firm claimed that a lot of candidates are "copy-pasting" code from AI without understanding a single line of it. "This makes it extremely difficult these days to find a developer who truly understands what they've written," it said. "We're starting to question whether we're making mistakes in our hiring process, or if it's just high time for junior devs to realize the importance of actually understanding the code before pasting it from GPT," the company concluded. The post has triggered a discussion online, with several users suggesting that it evaluate its interview process. "You seriously need to evaluate your interview process and the time wasted on interviews. Either your recruiting team is bringing you bad developers or your process is having issues. Either way, wasting 450 hours to find one engineer is stupid, to say the least," wrote one user. "Evaluate your interview process. Highly inefficient. Don't blame the candidates. There are serious expectations mismatch," commented another. Responding to this, the company stated, "The entire point is people are going to use AI anyways in their Jobs as well everyone does, so there is no point of saying to them that do not use AI to write code in the interviews as well. The candidate should understand the solution and the logic behind each and every line, that is our only concern." Some users also agreed with the original poster. "Truly agree, candidates nowadays are missing on core funcdamentals. Your HR team can try to implement a resume shortlister and a tech assignment round before F2F," wrote one user. "Looking at comments, I somehow feel, people are not ready to accept that candidates are not good and just relying on AI without understanding basic things. Everybody is blaming either hiring process or budget issues," commented another.
