Damn. Deepmind, Stanford, Berkeley, only to end up doc parsing for Applied Systems/Ezlynx, and scamming redditors

this is a teachable moment for yc, maybe the cost of investing in a sour apple is a lot more than half a mil, maybe there's a brand or reputational cost, even in places you least expect it right, these two seemingly had everything laid out for them by investors, did they even come up with compliance? who told them to work on that? now look what happened, it's like everyone cant get far enough fast enough now. What about their lead investor insight partners? what's that conversation like?

it's all just very strange and stupid, ironically from the the startup posing as auditors..

waiting on the cluely scandal next

it felt very forced from the start, there was no iteration, narrative or pivots

who got these kids into compliance? cause it wasn't them

that's defrauding the customer

this will literally get them in court

I don't see a way to recover frankly

Their existing customers are seriously exposed, i don't see this going anywhere except court

The problem is the malicious intent, you just can't do that anywhere, esp not in a trust based business..

The CEO is a clear scammer. How anyone trusts another word out of her math is beyond belief.

this is nuts

I'm glad it got leaked, I wish it came in a zip file in my email when I pay over 100$

Gemini is a terrible product, I spent $15K on it. Anthropic and OpenAI make better models, it used to be that Gemini cooked but I don't feel that way anymore

Definitely. We can expect zAI, Qwen, Minimax CCs very soon
