So, I teach IT at a university, and of course part of me has concerns.
But honestly, at heart, I respect the hacker ethos more than I do the majority of "big (or little) tech" business hiring processes. They accomplished the job.
When I deal with cheating, I see it as my job to be "ahead of it" or I'm not worthy to teach? (And also, I don't much see it my job to be a cheating cop as much as it is my job to teach.)
PERFECT case in point; all the Chat AI things that came out recently. I have a few multiple choice tests that I used to be able to recycle pretty easily. But ChatGPT comes out, and can get 100% with explanations on them. What that meant to me was "time to rewrite at least some of the questions."
And so today, I tell my students exactly this. Most of the time it'll probably be correct, but I've deliberately put like 5 or 6 in there that the Chat things confidently answer completely incorrectly. Good luck.
(note: Yes, they're open-internet / take home. They weren't until the pandemic, and to my complete surprise, my averages came out exactly the same whether or not they were closed-book one hour in class or open-internet, take a whole weekend)
