I seldom use my PC anymore ever since i got a laptop. with the cost per token increasing along with the random "features" where models will just eat through your tokens in one hour. I really have been tempted to turn my PC into a server to run local models on there
I am glad that a lot of people in this thread have figured out the fraud and caught the rogue employee early on. But the reason this fraud is so prevalent is because it works.
I have a friend who had someone else go through the interview process for him and ended up getting hired at one of the top 10 largest banks in US.
Not only that, but because he was grossly under qualified for this job, he hired someone to teach him how to do his job. He works his normal 8-5, then he screen shares with this guy and they work together to complete his tasks.
I'm a bit surprised that this worked and that they still haven't caught on, he has been working there for 8-10 months now. He has been sharing company intellectual property of a top US bank to foreigners for 8-10 months.
The saddest part about this is that, he isn't a dumb, he is knowledgeable enough to get a decent job without cheating. In fact he has worked, both legally and ethically, for reputable companies.
