A San Francisco 23-year-old fabricated his resume and interview experience, tailoring it exactly to executive AI job descriptions, and landed a Head of AI Transformation role at an a16z-backed company paying $280k/year. His entire transformation program was reportedly just a Claude subscription, some generic .md files, and a slide deck about becoming an "AI-first company," plus buzzwords like "MoE" and "test-time compute" dropped into conversations.
