Fuck Hive

Imagine being such a cuck you can't even register hive.ai. Looking at you, Cuckvin.

Here's why thehive.ai, or Castle Global Inc., or Chatous Inc., or Gencraft.com, is perhaps the worst company to invest, work with, or work at.

False advertising, fraudulent business practices, and more:

  • Everything is stolen from open source repositories, zero R&D guaranteed
    • All detection models are simply fine-tuned EfficientNet models
    • Gencraft is simply Stable Diffusion from Stability AI (not even fine-tuned)
    • Chatous is simply LLaMA from Meta AI (not even fine-tuned)
  • Fast growth? More like rapid collapse, I'm afraid
    • Model training data are illegally scraped
    • Churn rate is at an all-time high (most leave within 6 months)
    • Zero senior engineer, minimal testing, the product constantly breaks
    • Positive reviews on Glassdoor/Chrome Web Store are all fake (AI generated)
  • IPO? In your wildest dreams, LOL
    • Revenue reports and claims of being profitable are entirely fabricated
      • Barely stays afloat by firing employees and withholding benefits
    • Retention rate is dropping to single digit due to ridiculous pricing and poor results
      • Most clients have already terminated their contract
    • To refer to Mr. Cuckvin as the "Elizabeth Holmes of AI" would be a compliment, as it suggests that he actually possesses a near-human intelligence

Investors, ask yourself: would a successful Startup...

  • raise so many rounds but with nothing but lies to show for it?
  • have no "layoffs" because every week someone is fired or left on their own?
  • only chase hype and still end up falling behind?
  • change its name multiple times due to the overwhelming amount of negative reviews?
  • attract so much hate that an entire website is dedicated to exposing the lies from the founders?

Violations (non-exhaustive):

  • Illegal scraping and copyrights violations
    • If it exists on the internet, it will be stolen and stored in their databases
  • Software license violations
    • Any code found online is considered "free for commercial use"
    • Commercial software are either illegally obtained or used without proper licensing (Adobe, Zoom, GitHub, etc)
  • User privacy violations
    • IP addresses and personal information are stored without permission
    • Anything sent to their services are used to train the next model

Toxic culture:

  • Firing before stock vesting and bonuses, which means employees only get half the pay promised
  • Unrealistic deadlines and unrealistic expectations, with zero trust in employees
  • Frequent verbal abuse and constant threats of firing
  • College grads are hired as cheap labor but expected to perform as seniors
  • Workers benefits violations:
    • Vacations? More like getting pre-fired
    • Work life balance? Not an option
    • Ex-employee review: "Indentured servitude in the 21st century. I would rather be jobless."
