Hi, I'm the CEO of Scale.ai.

This comment does not represent the company's viewpoint, and cardigan is not speaking on behalf of Scale.

We are very excited to have been able to work with Lyft in open-sourcing this dataset and advancing the research community. We are also very grateful to Lyft for choosing to leverage our point cloud viewer and have credited the annotations to us on their launch page.

This is pretty effective marketing... generate some fake controversy over some small slight and have it go viral on HN.

Thank you.

Plot twist: Original comment was also the CEO.

[FBISurveillance]

That escalated quickly.

Still odd Lyft doesn't credit this when posting about it.

Gotta love HN.

Good people come to comment on a minute notice!

[mkagenius]

Business should not be lost. Credit is secondary.

Under the bus they go!

Someone will get fired today

Hopefully not. Cardigan obviously is has the company's interest in mind, even if perhaps the execution is a little flawed. Cardigan has just learnt a lot about PR and also gave a lot of free airtime to Scale.

Also hopefully Scale will use this opportunity to educate team members about situations like this.

> I doubt leaving out Scale completely from the announcement is in the spirit of the agreement

CEO Narrator: it was.
