This is why I'm not particularly worried about working remote/WFH from the US. I've heard the scare tactic that "your manager will move your job overseas for cheaper!" - but inevitably most companies have no idea how to do that successfully without running into issues like the article. It's just easier for them to deal with and verify US (or Canadian) employees. I guess at some point AI deepfakes will get so good that they look, sound, and act like a local dev while zooming and working with them throughout the day - but then I suppose what's the problem exactly?, ha.

Company doesnt have to do it successfully or even stay afloat to impact you. Your employer doesn't have to do anything at all for you to be impacted, as long as their competitors do -- your wages still be supressed. > - but then I suppose what's the problem exactly?, ha. the problem is, companies want to or required to discriminate based on origin and residency status, but ai nerfs their ability to do so (cheaply at least)

  > Company doesnt have to do it successfully or even stay afloat to impact you True, but from my experience the companies that are dazzled by cheap overseas prices tend to be awful places to work to begin with, and I'm kind of happy for them to stumble around trying to make it work out.

  > the problem is, companies want to or required to discriminate based on origin and residency status no, the problem is that the person / north korean team who is deepfaking a fake persona to get a job, is not going to... do a good job at the job?
