Hi, I’m James, and I’m currently a highschool senior. I’ve worked on a couple of hardware projects, and I’ll be sharing them on this account.

A company had an AI interview a guy for a job, so he had his own AI clone sit in for him and walked out of the room. Which means there's a job interview going on right now with zero people in it. And honestly, he made the most rational move of anybody involved. An economist basically called it back in 1973. His name was Michael Spence, and he won a Nobel Prize for this idea. Companies can't see inside your head to know if you're any good, so they look at stuff that's a pain for you to produce. You spend four years getting a degree, or you sit on a live call for an hour where you can't hide anything. The hassle is the whole point. Somebody who isn't serious about the job won't put up with it, and that's how the company sorts real candidates from everyone else. Problem is, AI has been making that stuff easy to fake. Cover letters went first, then résumés. Gartner surveyed 3,000 job seekers and 6% admitted to some kind of interview fraud, like having someone else pretend to be them. Researchers at Palo Alto Networks showed a person with zero editing experience could build a fake candidate good enough to get through a video interview in about 70 minutes. That left the live interview as pretty much the last thing that still took real effort from you. Then companies decided their own side of it wasn't worth a recruiter's time and started sending avatars. Put yourself in his shoes for a second. The company wouldn't spend one minute of a human's time on him, but still expected him to sit there and perform for software that turns him into a score. If they're not going to show up, why would he? The company was the first one to skip its own interview, and all he did was return the favor. So you've got two AIs trading polished answers while his camera films an empty room, and nobody comes out of it knowing anything. The company has no clue if he can actually do the job, and he has no clue if the job is even real. Gartner found only about half of job seekers believe the postings they apply to are legit in the first place. I'd bet the fix ends up looking pretty old school. Gartner also found 62% of candidates are more likely to apply when a job requires an in-person interview, so the serious ones are already telling companies they'd rather just show up. A lot of companies paid good money to automate the handshake, and they're about to pay again to bring it back.
