Man that’s pretty shitty that Mercor tricked 40k contractors, and then did a poor job of securing their data. There should be stronger consequences for stuff like this.
At minimum, collecting voiceprints should come with much stricter consent, retention and security requirements than ordinary "training data"
What happens now is that a lot of clueless CTO that didn't know about this company now know it's name. So the outcome of this mess is probably more business for Mercor
I mean, just look at what happened to Crowdstrike....
