The first round was, somewhat ironically, an AI screening, requiring his AI persona to converse with the company’s own AI chatbot. He passed. In the live video interview that followed, Moore ran a separate program in the background that listened to the conversation and fed him suggested answers whenever a question came up he wasn’t sure how to handle.
Moore turned down both roles, citing other opportunities, and neither firm was ever told they’d been duped. He felt too guilty to let them know.
What do ya wanna bet both employers went on to complain “millennials/gen z is so unreliable, no one wants to work”.
If a company is willing to ship a computer with all the risks that potentially entails without even verifying the identity of the candidate, they deserve what’s coming for them.
I can’t blame them for getting fooled on a videocall for an ai deepfake, but I mean, they really won’t meet even once? I’m pretty sure if they are hiring someone for a remote position, they can afford paying whatever to find a way to verify if the person they are hiring can be trusted and is real.
having spent the past 20+ years working for various startups, tech companies, contracting and what have you…no, I can see this working out for someone very easily.
very few, if any, of these places would actually verify your credentials. Once. only one time. has my education been verified. once in 20+ years. NEVER have I needed to show ID for any position. all they required from me is a social insurance number and bank account number for direct deposits. that’s it. something someone would be able to easily obtain/fake if need be. I’ve worked at places who had employees they’d never met in person at all. Pretty much ALL of these places have at least one guy (and you all know who i’m talking about) that never stepped foot in the office, was completely remote, did practically nothing, but was on payroll because he built something or “maintained” something that the entire company depended on. he’d get paid to randomly pop up in a jira or something once every 3 months to say “don’t do that, it’ll break it.” or chew out a junior dev for doing something.
But you’re 100% right, it’s completely on the company. If they want to run house that way, and many of them already do, then don’t expect any sympathy from anyone when shit eventually hits the fan. But the fact this dude just did something utilizing AI and special tools that has been happening for years isn’t ground breaking.

That an applicant needs to “chat” with AI at all is infuriating.
Nothing about the job application process determines who is fit for the role, it just determines who is good at job applications.
She was real. “Every time she came up with a question that I might not have known, I had another program running that would come up with a suitable answer that I should deliver in bullet points,” he said. “If there was anything I didn’t know, I was able to say something that would have passed what she was wanting to hear.”
That’s a real fucking person just using real time cgi. Jesus guys 🤦♂️ some crystal thought plx.
Fight fire with fire. All that’s left is automating the video interview and then we can spam ghost interviewees as a response to ghost job openings.
Why the fuck with you use an AI to screen out other AIs?
