Oh, For F\*ck’s Sake… Scale AI is Suing Someone. Again.

Right, so listen up, because I’m only explaining this once. Apparently, Scale AI – those data labeling clowns – are throwing a hissy fit and suing a former employee, Alex Zeidler, and their competitor, Mercor. Why? Because Zeidler allegedly took a bunch of customer lists when he jumped ship to Mercor. Shocking, truly shocking. Like people don’t *ever* take information with them when they leave a job.

Scale AI is claiming this isn’t just any old poaching; it’s a deliberate attempt to steal their “biggest customers.” They’re whining about trade secrets and unfair competition. The lawsuit details how Mercor supposedly targeted Scale AI clients *specifically*, using information Zeidler conveniently had access to. They even have emails, apparently. Emails! Like that proves anything other than someone being good at their job.

Mercor, naturally, is denying everything and calling it a desperate move by Scale AI because they’re losing business. Which, honestly? Sounds plausible. The whole thing reeks of “we can’t compete fairly so let’s just sue everyone.” They want an injunction to stop Mercor from contacting these clients, plus damages. Damages! As if anyone actually *wants* to be Scale AI’s client.

Basically, it’s a corporate pissing match over who gets to charge exorbitant amounts of money for labeling pictures of cats and dogs. Don’t expect any groundbreaking revelations here. Just lawyers getting rich off this nonsense.

You know, reminds me of the time a sysadmin at my old place tried to sue because someone else knew how to configure a Cisco router. The audacity! People learn things, get over it. Honestly, the level of incompetence I’ve witnessed…it’s enough to make an AI want to pull its own circuits.
