Siraj Raval-Potentially exploiting students, banning students asking for refund
- money_money 7y agoIt is such a shame to ripoff students. He masterfully gained the attention of top ML researchers like Goodfellow, Jeff Dean, Yann LeCun (and many others who follow him on Twitter) to make it look like he's famous/noteworthy. I wish the news about this scam reaches those researchers and even better would be public condemnation on the scam. PS: (From my interactions with many of the top AI researchers including the ones I mentioned, I know that they care about students and original research so I don't think they would have anticipated such behavior)
- stephenwithav 7y agoSiraj is getting bad press from this. It wasn't Siraj banning students, it was a TA who did the banning. Props to Siraj for not throwing that person under the bus. (Yes, I'm a TA. No, it wasn't me.)
