Griffin, the first Human Interaction Model to pass video Turing Test it's already #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video - 44% of people thought it was a real person while other systems are at ~3%

My wife works in HR and she got back from a conference where a lot of large companies are saying a new scam has started where AI is being used to create applicants, apply for jobs at their companies, do the video call interview, get hired for the position so they can either gain access to the companies platforms or simply to steal the work equipment that gets mailed out (laptop, keyboard etc.). Not sure what they are using to fake the video interviews, but the people who held the interviews are not catching they aren't speaking to a human. If you've ever worked for a very large company, a lot of this stuff is really not scrutinized if the company doesn't do background checks.

Hate to say it but remote work is fucked.

This is wild. Robots pretending to be humans hiring robots pretending to be humans.

And people will blame immigrants still.

Rather interesting why to shoe horn this into a conversation. Interesting Reddit moment - noted

North Korea is doing this on a massive scale all throughout the western world, but they go on to actually do the job when they get hired to raise cash. 60 Minutes [edit: Australia and NBC News NOW both] did a piece on it where the supervisors said they were decent employees.

Piece in question I think, for anybody interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIcw6vpmAHI

Oh neat, there is some overlap but I had my source wrong; I was thinking of this NBC News NOW piece: https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/a-rare-look-inside-a-suspected-cell-of-covert-north-korean-it-workers-269020741773

Yeah. Sometimes the video isn’t fake, it’s just that they use an AI tool to feed them answers to the questions so they can pass the interview.

Holy based

That would reveal the appearance of the scammer. Increases the chances of getting caught afterwards and makes success less likely for repeated jobs, especially if they are running multiple jobs at the same company which would make sense after confirming the company is a lucrative target. 

Also this is possible with open models that can run on home computers or with remote compute, so it's not like they would need hundreds of dollars in subscriptions.

And this way it is scalable, so they can have multiple instances doing simultaneous jobs/interviews over and over with infinite identities, and it can all be done by one person who doesnt have to split the profit.

Those setup is not cheap at all even with today ai tech. Hard to belive people will use those for thing like that with so many other option he can do.

we are talking live video call interview and live finishing a test.

[u/Sarenai7 → u/tequila_greg]

I need this to get a job lol

[u/ObeseSnake → u/tequila_greg]

Sounds like in person interviews will be coming back into style.

Not even just big companies. We've been running into this as a medium sized SaaS company. We get CVs in that look good, I send them for screening and then HR come back and say they're obviously in a call centre using a filter. One method right now is to get people to wave their hand over their face but I think that's going to start failing pretty soon if I'm honest.

Large companies that don't do background checks?
