TechTakes @awful.systems David Gerard @awful.systems 10mo ago saluting our fallen comrade at TikTok www.bbc.co.uk TikTok owner ByteDance sacks intern for sabotaging AI project
Ok, so what are bytedance denying? Their official position seems to be that they fired an intern, but that the intern also didn't do anything. What actually happened?
Apparently there are two GitHub repos up with strongly conflicting information on what happened, this is gonna be a three-buckets-of-popcorn incident.
My pal dug these up:https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110/issues/15 andhttps://github.com/william-sto/JusticeNeverTooLateThey have issues providing commentary and caveats, and are in Chinese, ofc. And also take all of this with several boatloads of salt.
The intern was only doing their fiduciary duty to the shareholders!
