    Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.

    When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”

      That comes for free with using an LLM to make the argument.

    Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.

    Hey, sorry overworked employees. I posted an ad to fill a position so we have enough wiggle room to let you breathe for once, but no one applied. Well, back to work!

      It’s definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?

        You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.

    I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”

    But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.

      Someone posted above that this was from a couple years ago and done as a test to see who would respond to this type of ad sort of thing.

      Unless there’s actual hidden value here (possible), it’s more like a joke. Chickens rarely cross the road and they’re not getting paid.

    Cross posting this to shitty million dollar ideas. This is the kind of out of the box thinking that we need to increase corporate profits and pump up those numbers. You are a real go getter here. good job.
