Student Uses AI Beats Amazon's Brutal Technical Interview. Uni Suspends Him (gizmodo.com)

[Roy Lee, the student facing down Columbia] said he’s booked a one-way ticket out of the city and won’t even be on campus when Columbia wants to talk to him.

Honestly, fair to him, he caught the interviewers with their pants down, made an absolutely amazing promotion for himself and created a useful product that points out a terrible societal error. That's some hacker spirit.

I'd honestly be interested in his MRR now, it has to be at least on the level of an internship wage, right?


Anyone has a copy of the video of the Amazon tech interview?

It was taken down by Amazon through a copyright claim.

edit: They re-uploaded the video and it's here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DTAO3kSZMs


The suspension part? Perhaps this.

Student was right. I also don't know why the university would suspend him. Him cheating big tech interviews using an AI has nothing to do with school work.
