Thanks for writing this up!!!

I just wondered about the following (unrelated) triggered by this: Am I entitled under GDPR to get the internal writeups on my interview performance when I interviewed at a company? Does it matter whether I am in the EU but interview at a US company?

Yes, in practice. GDPR applies any time that EU/EEA residents' personal data is processes. If the company doesn't operate in the EU/EEA directly it's likely you are going to have a hard time getting this data, and more likely to not be given this data at all. It's up to you as a resident to formalize a complaint through your regional DPA (Data Protection Authority) in those cases.

Do most companies do such writeups? We don't at mine.
I know the last company I worked for had each interviewer interview separately, then had each person write up a few paragraphs of thoughts. Then they were allowed to discuss with each other.
All data means all data, including that yes.
What benefit would it be if you did?
My past experience is that yes you can DSAR scorecards if you are covered by GDPR, aka you are in the EU.
Yes but what is the point? You're asking to get fired or to be moved to the basement.
I didn't imagine they got hired.
Claude thinks I am entitled to- but CISNAL (Claude is not a lawyer)
Why do people write ‘Claude thinks’ or ‘ChatGPT says’? It’s literally less reliable than ‘some guy down at the bar said’ or ‘my mother’s cousin’s ex-boyfriend’s cat’s previous owner’s dad thinks.’
it's part of being honest and citing your possibly unreliable source, you should be very glad about people who do this. The real problem is that he didn't post any actual information in his comment.
You both seem to agree that LLM answers are just noise
I'm pretty sure that ChatGPT or Clause is more reliable than a random guy on any particular subject, although less reliable than an expert on the subject.
My guess is that it's accepting the anthropomorphisms pushed by the vendors' naming choices: Alexa, Siri, Claude, etc.
