Scale AI Valued at Nearly $14B With Amazon Funding

[@hjtechguy]

Lol I work in Silicon Valley. I know this company very well, I've visited their office since my friends used to work there. My previous companies received funding from same VCs. This company is a sweatshop data labeling company where they paid 20 bucks per hour to annotators whom I've met. There is no AI. They first spent all their energy having annotators label google images to sell to ride sharing companies for their AI division before these customers churned and burned. The company is literally run by 20-30 year old management who literally have boba nights and super smash brothers game night for their employees. This company is the ultimate pinnacle of sillcon valley AI charade. This guy just rode the wave of VC AI craze before the eventual tech meltdown. It's no coincidence Scale raised 3 rounds of funding in 3 years to reach sudden 1 billion valuation to get all the marketing hype.

I can actually see this being true. Especially the Boba nights 😂

[@rafae5902]

Yep, totally. And to be honest, it's a stupid question. The clothes they were wearing surely were made by people earning terrible salaries, but they are still wearing them. Hypocrites, all of them.

[@recursion.]

It's a data labelling outsourcing company, why does everyone talk like they've made some profound hardware or software? Can someone care to explain if I'm missing anything?

[@ainanirina758]

3 points: They are more than that, they are the best at create the infrastructure to collect the data and they were the amongst the first to do it on a large scale That's it

[@ainanirina758]

*at creating

[@karatsurba4791]

I feel the same. It's a glorified data labelling company.

[@marvinmeng7213]

Stories from people online who know the company / CEO personally give a not great view of it. Seems very toxic, "house-of-cards" kind of business model, gives me very Theranos vibes

[@kesun32145]

Seems like another hype train to suck in people to invest into the AI bubble at insane valuations.

[@PeterParker-wj3cr]

If Allen Iverson wanted to start a business. Now would be the best time for him to go public! AI is trending!...lol

[@wizaaeed]

Bro ain't got no clients nor profits, but his company valued at 14B, welcome to the biggest scammer capitalist world, where people seek investment, flip their company for 2-3B then make courses on how they got so successful

[@nitishsreeram3002]

How are you commenting when you know nothing? He got $1 billion in contracts from the US govt.

[@wizaaeed]

At least i'm not ignorant & believing every bs they throw at me. This company is full of shady business & employee & service schemes. It's main evaluation comes from fake marketing & funding from questionable sources. Look it up & stop embarrassing yourselves

[@moonlightfitz]

He and his family are best friend with 90% of Hollywood stars. That says everything.

[@wizaaeed]

My comment got deleted, but yeah, they're full of shady business, look it up!

[@erichshan7964]

he did not even try to address the point of underpaying labelers

[@maxcady360]

If I understand correctly RemoTasks and Outlier are subsidiaries of Scale AI.

He didn't even answer her question. Her question was good.

[@deanayer3822]

The company is basically just a layer between an actual AI company and Fiverr.

[@zaralin9825]

Why can't they build an AI which can facilitate data labelling tasks and use fewer people to get the task done?

[@tolearn4799]

Will Eventually.

[@AlessioToniolo-hw3hb]

All AI will have some degree of error and frontier models do not want to compound the error of a "less intelligent" AI doing the labeling.

[@Mohamedahmed-hd8sj]

They use the labeling data for Training the Ai .... its like you tell why the teacher help the student to learn right Pronunciation for new Language he should learn it himself

[@Paolo1964]

Excellent overview of AI.

This dude is insanely smart and so mature for his age. While his peers are recording tik tok vidoes, he's one of the leading figures in AI. He speaks like he has 20-30 years of wisdom. He has potentially to become bigger than Musk.

With around $250k to invest, what's your advice on entering the market? I'm considering replicating the strategies of experts instead of investing independently to avoid both financial losses and emotional stress. What are your thoughts on this approach?

[@AshleyKeith-vw7ws]

Consider diversifying your portfolio with a mix of stocks and stable assets. Seeking professional advice now could provide valuable insights and strategies to navigate market uncertainties and protect your investments.

[@ScottLarrry]

This is an insightful perspective to consider.

[@HRMColoniallifeinsurance]

Agreed, my portfolio is well matched for every market season, yielding 60% from early last year till date. I and my advisor are working on a 7-figure ballpark.

[@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi]

Your financial advisor must be really good, Wehrine. I hope it's okay to inquire if you're still working with the same advisor and how can I get in touch with them?

[@HRMColoniallifeinsurance]

That would be Desiree Ruth Hoffman.
