after all of this, if you get an interview video call, they will ask you to do funny things, like put your hand in front of your face or touch your nose or ears to break the AI face filter. it is so normal now that the interviewer doesn't even feel bad about it. they just say, put your hand in front of your face, okay? acting as if they are doing you a favour. the AI powered deepfakes keep ruining everything
In my experience the face filters are pretty rare. But I'm still on multiple panels a week these days where it is obvious that the candidate is reading answers from a screen.

@nixCraft Don’t forget the part where you do an assignment for free for them.

Yeah, and we're even asking people to show us how they use AI during coding interviews, if they happen to be people that like AI. It's not verboten. Ya just can't misrepresent AI work as your own!

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I retracted my application last that they asked for an introduction video. GTFO with your whole circus crew, it's just a job!

@nixCraft well glad I'm retired as my 1-finger salute when asked to a hand in front of face probably wouldn't go over very well. Maybe it would and that might indicate a good place to work.

@nixCraft another reason I'm not going to leave my current job until I retire or die (probably the latter).

@nixCraft Also this. One asked me to "do something unexpected."
I put on a Devo energy dome and held a plushie octopus in my lap.
I did not get the job.
