Dave Morse and Varun (later Toan, great FDE i learnt a lot from him about many things at both Scale AI and Anduril)

they hired me and kept me on the team and tried to get me not to leave ever by being kind managers

because i did support in slack and was a human Pylon and it was nothing. they were small tickets and API integrations. trivial for claude today.

as i said i did nothing. truly very little. my contributions to training openai or chatGPT or whatever roomers you here or hear or whatever are dump dumb hallucinations. sam altman can confirm rofl

run that one thru grok or gemini you fool

anyone who helps me get cancelled is doing the world a favor honestly

bro just keeps trying to inject historical context in bad faith

i did very little to impact scale's success and have publicly stated i deserve absolutely zero equity even less than the 0.01% i was initially offered (please compare with others who started same day as me Jeffrey Li for instance)

then the 0.02% Richard ni offered to double it to on the day i resigned with Sara Niyogi in the room as a witness as Richard's hands visibly shook on a routine firing of an employee...

it was sad and easy and pathetic for all of us. i was particularly immature and idiotic in how i handled that. please see my numerous blog posts on scale ai or use grok to find a list of them.

i was not paid severance at scale ai. i resigned. totally different situation. thanks for bringing it up Reticulates.

here are ones off the top of my head: - andys.blog/rare most recently - https://thenextlevelcareers.com/lessons-in-rejection-turning... (someone else wrote this) - https://world.hey.com/tratt/my-5m-choice-036905be (this one actually got a lot of emails from random people - wow thanks for sharing so brave helped me move on from the job i didn't like even tho i had golden handcuffs etc etc) - https://trattner.github.io/Scale-AI.html - i think this was the best one probably, i wrote it after doing the initial interviews on my 3rd attempt to get hired. thankfully Rilka / Angela didn't blacklist me after i failed that one coding challenge in js haha andytrattner.com/scale - the google doodle thing its on github somewhere - https://trattner.github.io/decade-reflections-2020.html this certaintly touches the scale ai days but i dont think it was directly mentioned here just for more context for the public you want to show the world my insanity about thanks

BTW i think all of this is ridiculous to outline in grave detail. anyone with a good enough memory who cares is at this point liquid, exited, under different management.

girlfriend is on the case. we are good. thanks

oh wait were you referring to reticulate the other guy who was being mean and has been kicked by mods?

I stand by it. I am not being hostile, I am making a statement. Not that it matters, but I consider myself insane, too, and also unemployable. The point of my comment was to inform others that this is not what it looks like when you are going through a manic episode, this is just who you are, this is Andy being Andy. The point of my comment is also that whatever happened between you and Simple was obviously going to happen and it isn't a reflection on Simple. Well, they were bad in their hiring but whatever, they are a startup, it happens.
