Get Personalized AI Job Recommendations Every Week
This free edition gives you the same 20 roles everyone else gets. But the AI-era job market is personal. A PM in Shenzhen and a data engineer in Berlin don’t need the same list.
On top of the curated jobs, paid subscribers also get open DMs with me. Tell me about yourself, your background, what you’re optimizing for, and I’ll give you tailor-made recommendations. Flag roles you’ve seen elsewhere and I’ll give you my honest read. Over time, your feedback makes the recommendations sharper. The more I learn about what you’re actually looking for, the better the matches get.
Paid subscribers get a separate, customized weekly jobs email. Here’s how it works:
I take your background, your target roles, your preferred geographies, and your compensation expectations, and I build a shortlist that’s actually tailored to you. Not an algorithm. Not a keyword match. A human who understands both the AI talent market and the companies behind the listings, filtering for fit.
This is the part of semidiffusion that doesn’t scale, which is exactly why it’s behind the paywall. I can only do this for a small number of people, and I want to do it well.
If you’ve been reading semidiffusion for free and getting value from it, this is the moment to convert. The job market moves fast. Having someone in your corner who’s tracking it in real time is worth more than another browser tab of job board bookmarks.
See you next week. And if you applied to anything from this list, reply and tell me. I want to know what’s landing.
