for people who cheat, it is still the ideal time to look for a job before companies return to in-person hiring. i interview nowadays and it is crazy how ubiquitous these cheating tools are.


We have proctored testing centers (Pearson Vue etc) if companies wanted trusted remote interviews.


We've decided to do onsites for all hires, in part to combat this.


Good - it costs the company more $$$ and cheating is still easy as hell.

We have proof that the "Anal beads chess cheating" accusations could have been legit (https://github.com/RonSijm/ButtFish). You think that people won't do even easier cheating for a chance at a 500K+ FAANG job?

Also, if you want the best jobs at Foundation model labs (1 million USD starting packages), they will reject you for not using AI.


> they will reject you for not using AI.

Well, I don't work for a foundation model lab. But actually, I'm happy for folks to use AI to augment their skills.

I also want to make sure that they can use it well and aren't just a mouthpiece for ChatGPT. Having them come in is one way to verify that.

False - many biglabs will explicitly ask you to not use AI in portions of their interview loop.

Just nonsense.

False.


Same, between the interview cheating and AI slop resumes... hiring has become a dreadful process.


Yeah, hiring was always hard but has just become mind bogglingly difficult.


why are the cheating tools even necessary?
