Okay, so I didn't really know the ins and outs of everything you went into in your original post to be honest, it all just seemed quite intense and overly thorough. But, I thought it was kinda odd when you said he told you that he "asked Codesmith to not represent he's work

I messaged him after Codesmith declined to comment on if Alex had Zoox's approval to do the curriculum yeah so I put even more work into it. But time-wise very little time. Yeah doesn't have a problem being connected to his DSML work, he just doesn't want it to be implied that he is currently working on it or recently worked on it as it's fireable and worse at Zoox to create IP relevant to your job without permission. I sent him all of the links that made it seem like he was more recently involved and Codesmith has since modified those, including the blog you linked to, that was modified as a result of this. The title of that blog post changed from containing Alex Zai's name, and you can see the remnant in the url. Jared's name was not mentioned nearly that much in marketing materials it was all Alex Zai and a little James and Jared had significant involvement in DSML. But the recent curriculum that I've seen, the first two lectures, sem like mostly James Laff reviewed by Will. No Alex.
