#6Why the hell should he offer refunds? You have no right to a refund because of 'reasons'
Did he not deliver what he promised? Sounds like he did.
If he lied, then explain it.
The fact he forked code to use, which the open source community 'claims' they love is a bad thing? This says more about the open source community than his course.
This is just lynching culture.
Open AI has openly lied to ramp up publicity. AI is all currently built on lies. The course sounds ok in this space.

Linear regression is fucking important, using stock data is a dam good start to learning it and how data works and doesn't. Or did you think you'd get the secret formula companies spends billions upon billions for analysis of stocks for $200 in 10 weeks along with every other industry?

#7Although I hate Siraj's content, this is exactly what most freelancers or coders in companies do, use proper licensed code & use that for commercial purposes which is absolutely fine.
