Some are projects that have a changing variable over a long period of time (Framingham Heart Study, E. coli long-term evolution experiment) or strive to exist a long time (Clock of the Long Now). I would argue that these projects -- their process, data collection methods, and goals -- may have been developed quickly, in a short amount of time. Their longevity is proof that the original project was well established. But the same could be said of the invention of the wheel, shoe, sliced bread, etc

I can appreciate the idle curiosity, but for your consideration any call made to a presumed-fake candidate is an opportunity expenditure that could go to an actual candidate. As someone who never even got rejection emails from a bunch of companies from the whoishiring thread, I'd prefer if that precious time on Earth were spent accepting or rejecting candidates

Sure. We accept or reject all candidates as quickly as we can. But do you think this candidate should be progressed or rejected?

Our actual decision was to ask them to send in a video introduction before we schedule a phone screen with one of our engineers.

It sounds like they are using GPT to make the resume from the same template. People are desperate for jobs and will lie on their resumes and even submit false names and resumes so if one resume isn't chosen the other might be?

I'd call just for the giggles and see if it is the same person or using GPT.

LLMs don't make up identical resumes twice. For example, the second position on both resumes has this description: "Worked on first class video conferencing platform for qualitative research using Typescript, Go and React.js."

What are the odds that GPT makes up that same copy for two different users?

Re: calling them -- There is no phone number listed on either resume! Also makes me suspicious this is a scam...
