Title:

North Korea has been sneaking thousands of fake IT workers into US tech companies via LinkedIn to fund their nuclear program. A recruiter discovered that asking them to say ‘Kim Jong Un is a fat ugly pig’ on camera instantly exposes them, they freeze, fake a connection drop, then vanish forever.”

Taking the rest of the story at face value, what could possibly be the validity of the last paragraph? How do they know no one can say it? They know the people they "caught" couldn't say it, but that's absolutely no indication of it catching everyone. If someone did get through this, how would they know? It's like dragging a fishing net, hauling it up, pointing to the fish and saying that it catching some fish is evidence that no fish could get through.

Which is like a paragraph to say this is functionally a form of "survivorship bias."

Even if they said the stupid sentence (freeze peach land of the free btw) AND someone saw it AND they gave a shit AND they gave enough of a shit to say something then you'd say "the stupid fucking chud interviewer asked me to say it as a condition of employment". THEN they'd have to care enough to escalate it AND someone higher up would have to give a shit MORE than they care about the money that the worker could now get.

Which seems dubious to me

If those kids could think more than one step ahead they'd be quite upset
