Blatant Thievery

Revision en1, by macaquedev, 2026-04-01 23:46:23

I'm going to preface this blogpost by saying that nothing, really, ever surprises me. Anyone who knows me in person will testify to this; I am not a person who is easily shocked, outraged, surprised, etc.

However, when you create a project that becomes famous / notorious within hours of release, and ten months later you see an AI-generated PowerPoint about your own project on Scribd, which has.... completely incorrect information.... on it, and claims that the project was not developed by you, but by someone who you've never met and do not know, don't you agree it's quite hard not to be surprised?

Well, this happened to me today, with the Cheater Database that you're all so familiar with. And here's the presentation, that claims that the project that I spent my free time creating (and later received some help from AksLolCoding) was created by... Prabal Pratap Singh, an individual I do not know and have never met. The account that posted the PowerPoint is called "swastkpandey" — one can only wonder whether there is any relation to the notorious cheater swarya that keeps spamming about a billion comments under every blog.

Can we please put an end to this garbage once and for all, and get rid of these people's accounts from Codeforces?
