Today's DeepSeek interview went viral on the Internet. At first, everyone thought that only top geniuses had bad intentions, that big companies were bullying others, as if they were trying to stand up for others. Less than a day later, the reversal came.The reason was that Li Bojie, a former Huawei genius boy, posted that he went to DeepSeek for an interview and the experience was terrible - the interviewer questioned him for cheating for no reason and did not give him a good face during the whole process.
As soon as the post was posted, almost the entire Internet came to his side, making all kinds of complaints about the DeepSeek interviewer's arrogance and messy process. It looked like a script for workplace bullying.
But no one expected that the scale that had tilted to one side did not last long before it reversed and fell over.
The protagonist of the interview, Li Bojie, has a really impressive resume. He has a PhD from the University of Science and Technology of China and is one of Huawei's first batch of talented teenagers. He has started a business and served as the chief scientist of an AI company. His technical skills are recognized in the industry as solid.
So when he first complained about being targeted during the interview, everyone believed him without much thought and started to complain on his behalf.
According to Li Bojie's own description, he passed the written test, but the other party gave him up for almost half a month, and he only got the interview opportunity after repeated urging.
As a result, the interview experience was extremely bad.
The second interviewer was late, but the most outrageous thing was the coding session.
Li Bojie worked on two screens, but the interviewer decided that he was cheating just because he glanced at the other screen, and asked him to prove his innocence, otherwise the interview would be terminated.
It would be uncomfortable for anyone to be questioned with such baseless evidence. Li Bojie ended the interview on the spot and turned around to share his experience on social platforms.
As soon as the post was posted, the entire Internet sympathized with him.
A person with such a strong technical skills was casually made things difficult and smeared by interviewers from major companies. DeepSeek was too amateurish this time.
For a time, the entire Internet was criticizing the big companies for their chaotic interviews and the arrogance of the interviewers.
Just when public opinion was all siding with Li Bojie, a reversal came, and it was his old investor.
Du Jun, an investor who had invested in Li Bojie’s AI project Metagent, directly said publicly:Li Bojie is the most uncontractual entrepreneur he has ever seen since he entered the industry.
Du Jun also listed specific incidents.
In 2024, Li Bojie’s AI project received institutional investment.However, the team did not follow the agreement at all, the project progress was not synchronized, and the finance was not disclosed. In the end, no one could be contacted directly, and the project was stopped. It was also speculated that Li Bojie went for an interview because the new project was not available again.
As soon as investors took action, the entire online trend turned. It was only after being chased and asked by the entire internet that he couldn't stand it anymore, Li Bojie came forward to respond.
He said that he didn't look for a job because he couldn't start a business, but because he wanted to delve deeper into the underlying technology of AI and change his direction.
However, he did not respond to a single word about the loss of contact and breach of contract mentioned by the investors.
The investor's real name was torn apart, and he was forced to respond to the interview. With such a commotion, the original "genius's cool article on rights protection" completely overturned and turned into a controversy-ridden public opinion mess.
Three different voices were found in the comment area, one criticizing DeepSeek like Xiao Lei’s article today. Another voice complained about the protagonist, saying that he relied on his reputation as a genius and wanted to do something special and enjoy privileges as before, but he was frustrated by DeepSeek, which is based on hard work, and it didn't work at all. Most of the remaining passersby do not take either side and only look at the facts.
It is true that DeepSeek’s interview process is poor and the quality of the interviewers is not good. It is also true that Li Bojie hides his controversies, unilaterally portrays himself as a victim and biases public opinion.
