    Lol I work in Silicon Valley. I know this company very well, I've visited their office since my friends used to work there. My previous companies received funding from same VCs. This company is a sweatshop data labeling company where they paid 20 bucks per hour to annotators whom I've met. There is no AI. They first spent all their energy having annotators label google images to sell to ride sharing companies for their AI division before these customers churned and burned. The company is literally run by 20-30 year old management who literally have boba nights and super smash brothers game night for their employees. This company is the ultimate pinnacle of sillcon valley AI charade. This guy just rode the wave of VC AI craze before the eventual tech meltdown. It's no coincidence Scale raised 3 rounds of funding in 3 years to reach sudden 1 billion valuation to get all the marketing hype.
