  • engineer: so this model was actually developed by our biggest competitor
  • lawyer: wtf?????
  • engineer: And we used a pretrained checkpoint, again from even bigger competitor
  • laywer: wtf??
  • engineer: All cool, It was trained on this imagenet thing
  • lawyer: And who owns this imagenet thing?
  • engineer: ????
  • lawyer: And did everybody in this imagenet thing consent to his or her picture being used?
  • engineer: ????
  • lawyer: what the actual f ?????
  • engineer: So I guess we are using our own model trained from our own data then.
