Interventional

[N] Udacity had an interventional meeting with Siraj Raval on content theft for his AI course

​ According to Udacity insiders Mat Leonard @MatDrinksTea and Michael Wales @walesmd: ​ https://preview.redd.it/yr5yg453tjo31.png?width=978&format=png&auto=webp&s=358a16c6f4493eb0d15b57ed29e28ac69721e3e2 https://twitter.com/MatDrinksTea/status/1175481042448211968 Siraj has a habit of stealing content and other people’s work. That he is allegedly scamming these students does not surprise me one bit. I hope people in the ML community stop working with him. https://twitter.com/walesmd/status/1176268937098596352 Oh no, not when working with us. We literally had an intervention meeting, involving multiple Directors, including myself, to explain to you how non-attribution was bad. Even the Director of Video Production was involved, it was so blatant that non-tech pointed it out. If I remember correctly, in the same meeting we also had to explain why Pepe memes were not appropriate in an educational context. This was right around the time we told you there was absolutely no way your editing was happening and we required our own team to approve. And then we also decided, internally, as soon as the contract ended; @MatDrinksTea would be redoing everything.
