Precise definition isn’t really practically necessary. It’s only useful if you need to independently recreate a system in isolation. It’s much easier to have a reference material and just copy it. You can even build a reference length if you have something with known measurements.

It’s a widely applicable concept that could be attached to any fascist or authoritarian style faction or belief.
Zone of truth doesn’t compell answers. “I won’t tell you” is a true answer.
This looks like a gambling app. So it’s not that you can’t close it until it’s not used. Voluntary exclusion is a mandatory policy required by legislation so a gambling addict can ask a casino to functionally ban them. This app is extra predatory in that they don’t allow a permanent ban right away. Their goal is to make it take multiple requests so an addict can relapse and spend more money and it’s the addicts fault.

- applications are outright fake to a much higher degree than ever before.
- ai can’t really tell the difference between real candidates and fake ones.
- finding the actually qualified applicants is harder because they have to have an equally fake resume to get past the ai filters.
- ai interviews alienate applicants.
- AI use in interviews makes a lot of existing techniques less useful in interviews.
