How Keccak Wong and Nectar AI uses take-home tests for free engineering labor and exploits independent AI developers..

I am sharing this as a direct warning to the developer and AI engineering community. If you are approached by Nectar AI (a tech startup backed by major institutional investors like Paradigm and BAM Ventures), protect your labor and your wallet. Here is exactly how they operate: The Bait: They publicly advertise a technical AI pipeline role with an agreed scope of $2,500/month. The Take-Home Exploitation: They assign a mandatory production-level technical assessment.
