  1. It’s not like the instant you outsource that all your IP becomes open source to China and everyone else. And they aren’t going to get anywhere near anything secret this way. More corpo espionage than government.

  2. somebody post this without paywall I wanna know how they do this for *science*. Third world wages suck balls

    We didn’t realize the machine war would be between AIs representing hiring firms against AIs representing job candidates.

  4. Which would explain the increase in hacks.

    We’re in a new era of war that goes beyond person to person combat. It’s now powered by AI and those who have the capacity to understand these technologies.

    I fear that the U.S., given academic performance in comparison to other countries, and the fact that many companies use manufacturers in other counteries to manufacture our tech devices (and have for a long time, until event shifts in chip manufacturing) shows how unprepared we are for new types of warfare.

    Can imagine what chatting with a remote co-worker who was secretly NK would be entertaining at least. So bro what you do this weekend.

  6. It’s insane that I know legit qualified Americans who can’t find IT jobs yet these NK fakers seem to have it down to a science. I guess it all comes down to fake resumes that meet the absurd requirements companies put into their job postings?

    How companies trust hiring people, let alone giving them any IT access, without having a single face to face meeting is beyond me.

    Yeah, Fake ass news to justify returning to the office. Either that or they’re working for pennies on the dollar for greedy employers who’re looking for one hell of a deal.
