The story that was going around on social media (which I only know because Claude refused to translate it sometimes) was that a particular developer was modifying weights in other developers models and crashing their training runs so that the developers own work looked better in comparison.

how is this any different from starting new projects at google and leaving them in a half-baked state because that leads to a promotion faster? incentives align behavior

If you really can't see how that is different I don't know what to say.

Maybe don't post stupid comments if you don't want people to point out that they're stupid?

^ You can't respond to this btw. It's rhetorical.

^^ Yes, that was sarcasm.

I didn't mean to suggest "don't reply" -- I did want to start a conversation on how they are more or less the same thing. I guess I wasn't asking for clarity, right, I just wanted to point out that they're similar.
