Dit lijkt althans zeer toepasselijk op Mercor, het bedrijf dat een meteorische groei op dit moment lijkt te koppelen aan een supernova event waarin alles in elkaar lijkt te donderen. Herinnert u zich nog de volgende blog posting nog?

Waarin Mercor onderstaande schoonheid van een  volzin bezigt:

Your privacy and security are foundational to everything we do

Dit heeft TechCrunch daarover te zeggen in een recent artikel:

a hacker group has claimed to have obtained 4TB of stolen data from Mercor’s systems, including candidate profiles, personally identifiable information, employer data, source code, and API keys.

Met een reeks aan zorgwekkende ontwikkelingen voor Mercor:

While there have been no formal acknowledgments of how much data was scooped up from Mercor, there have been repercussions all the same. Meta has paused its contracts with Mercor indefinitely

OpenAI also confirmed to Wired that it was investigating its exposure in Mercor’s breach, but said it had not paused or ended its contracts at the time.
However, TechCrunch has heard from multiple sources that other large model makers may also be weighing their relationships with Mercor after the breach, although we have not confirmed enough details to name names as of yet.

In the meantime, five of Mercor’s contractors have filed lawsuits, Business Insider reports, over their alleged personal data exposure. Whether these suits represent a serious threat or are just opportunistic and a nuisance remains to be seen.

Hoe dan ook, Mercor moet een zeer stevige reality check zien te verduren.
