[MrMarkyMark]

Just hired a machine learning contractor, now not really sure if he was the right guy.

Can't put my finger on it, but it seemed like he may have been a bit of a blagger, sounded the sort who may just be picking up a book, from Amazon, this weekend .

We were really desperate as it is a critical machine learning project ands needs to start ASAP.



What should I do?

Hire Sas at least you can have a laugh at his conclusions.

Based in Switzerland this guy.

We did it all over the phone, he said his video conferencing was broken.
I had a feeling he was looking up stuff as we talked.

Seemed a nice enough chap, albeit it a little odd, Northern type.

Started blithering on about being a big moderator type on some obscure forum, but we had all switched off by that point.

What should I do?

Me? I'd run around in circles, with my arms above my head, crying "The sky is falling*.

Because I've got the contract, know where you live and have no moral encumbrance preventing me from twisting the terms for my benefit until you squeal.

You learned all that from an Amazon kindle book? I'm impressed!

Also, as I'm sure you will be aware, you can always sub suity in, if I really pee you off

Unfortunately he he didn't work out that cheap .

Started going on about having to purchase the latest research materials, generous expenses and possible expensive, as of yet undefined, technical difficulties, all charged on top.

Then there were consistently shifting and conflicting priorities and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a cocaine and alcohol habit to support.

I'll let you know how it goes
