AbbVie | AI/Software Engineer | Remote, UK/EU/NA | Full-time

Are you a great coder (Python/Typescript, but great skills are usually transferrable), who enjoys close collaboration with end-users in solving their hardest problems?

Do you have a solid foundation in the AI/LLM-world - or are you great at the above and willing to learn?

Are you well versed in data engineering concepts, and excited to work with the latest GenAI models and bring these solutions into production? Then I'd love to hear from you!

We are a small team who care deeply about our work as well as about each other. We iterate fast, and err on the side of prototyping and presenting something real, rather than spending hours in meetings and only producing slides.

Our vision for this project is extremely ambitious, and you will be a crucial part of making this a reality. We've been expanding the team over the past 6 months, and are currently looking to fill a few extra roles in UK/EU/NA.

If you fit the above description, hit me up at jakob.hoppermann@abbvie.com with your resume + a little bit about yourself!

SM has been producing good quality hardware for decades. I remember them from catalogues of my childhood. Obscure is not the right word here.


In Denmark, our deliveries are currently not unionized, although there is a large debate around it. Denmark has no minimum wage either.

The people doing the deliveries for e.g. Wolt earn at minimum of 120 DKK an hour (~18,5 USD) on a scheduled shift and can often earn more, depending on how much they are willing to work. The last average I read is around 150DKK an hour (~23,30 USD) for delivery personel in that company.

The main issue with unionizing in Denmark is that it would require the companies to sign the delivery people to fixed-hour contracts (think nine-to-five), which doesn't work with the business model and isn't what most of the delivery people have expressed their wants about. Most of them enjoy the freedom and many in creative industries (e.g. musicians) use it as a way to supplement their income.

I think it is important to recognize what unionization actually means and whether or not that solves the problem, and before that; figure out what the actual problem really is.

That seems like a conflation of two entirely different things. Plenty of unions represent people who work intermittently or weird hours, like basically every union related to film production.


Possibly, but this is the situation we're faced with here in Denmark, as our cartel of unions have divided the market in such a way.

I agree that this is not necessarily what "unionization" means specificly, but this is the concrete case here, and thus my caveat as to the importance of the exact definition.


Also foreigners who wants to study and get SU (State Study Support around 900 EUR/month, and yes, you basically get payed to study) use this to get what's called "equal status" which qualifies them for the SU and probably other benefits as well.


Thank you, great point.

(Also, I am thankful that you are descripting the SU correctly; one gets paid to be enrolled at a qualifying educational institution - paid to study, not paid to get an education, even though this is luckily what happens most of the time.)


Perhaps that’s the next cool idea for a business?

While not wanting to sound too negative in this response, I didn’t even consider the file size, but rather the creative possibilities that opens up when one successfully breaks with an otherwise common format and merges it with a new one.


Many legal systems allow limited retribution, if it can be seen as proportional to self-defense.

That said, there's an overarching idea that one shouldn't try to "get even" by lowering oneself to the other person's level. Proportionality as a legal concept makes it legal to defend yourself, but illegal to escalate the threat.

E.g. one can use fists against fists, but if B stabs A to death, it will be hard to claim it was in self defense, since there is no obvious proof that A was looking to murder B by punching B to death.

If it is possible to refrain from violence and use the justice system to replace it (by having B press charges against A), then that ought to be a more civil outcome.

One could argue that the reason to have a legal system is so that B does not have to go around preparing to punch back, but can spend her time doing more productive things and that is how we end up with a civil society, with a high level of productivity and freedom of expression, and a minimum level of violence.


Of course, if one person is physically stronger than another, then more tools are required to respond proportionally; tools that may make an accidental over-retaliation more likely.

While society prefers civil solutions to physical conflicts, civil solutions take longer, often require social, organizational and financial capital, and have less certainty in outcome. Society overall is better, but individuals are often not as well served.

The system is stacked in favour of the more powerful at every level, shocker.


I cannot imagine the police taking an interest in a case like that, let alone a DA prosecuting it, absent other factors making it politically important.


Clearly explained. Thanks!


It seems like you are missing an important aspect of UBI: What level of income will it provide?

If a (perhaps more fulfilling or “fitting”) life on UBI is to rival that of say a stockbroker, UBI must provide more freedom than one can get by working in that position, while perhaps saving up for early retirement.

The income level will have to be moderate at the very least, to rival that. Since it is supported by tax revenue, it must be part of a balanced budget. This can quite easily be matched by a reasonable income, where a good amount is put into savings each month.

I agree, that this is not an option for a lot of people, as their monthly expenses won’t allow to save like that. But then that isn’t something that UBI will fix - given its “basic” nature. If all else equal, the higher the level of UBI, the higher the price level as demand increases.

I do support some models of UBI. It could help in replacing the myriad of different welfare programmes that are only about money here in Denmark, where billions of USD are either wasted or swallowed by bureaucracy each year.

However, I find it almost fraudulent how UBI is being misused as a “Trojan Horse” by some people and especially by politicians.

UBI, like most other insurance schemes, will only work if most people are net-positive contributors. This makes UBI mostly into a welfare programme - something that’s limited in its use.

But if the idea is that it’s something for everyone, most of the time, I’m hard pressed to answer how it will work on a societal basis, without the use of force.

I don’t believe that is what you argue for, so please don’t take this as a straw man argument against your point.
