Model Collapse doesn't seem to be real and from recent models it seems synthetic data seems to actually work no?

Author is overlooking a major thing, if the code works the person paying for the code doesn't really care where it came from.

Author works on "a platform that helps companies do collaborative coding interviews AND avoid LLM cheating", thing is we're getting a growing sentiment of CEOs who WANT you using LLMs. I've seen them get visibly frustrated that some of the dev team were not using them or not using the latest approach. Lots more talk of results focused hiring rather than could they write this without an LLM hiring.
