Maybe it’s an unfortunate side effect of their success. Almost all early members of the team are now multi millionaires if they held their stock.

Anecdata but both of the people I know that worked on Autopilot quit within 18 months of starting, citing extreme overwork and Musk micromanaging things. This lines up with that.

  People have been claiming the same thing about SpaceX and Tesla for 20+ years now doesn't seem to stop them. Having a small sample size theater about people you personally know isn't really representative.

For the record these are some blatant & false FUD attempts.

  Good to hear it from the source! Great talk by the way. As someone in the CS field but with no knowledge of CV/NN I still find these presentations very insightful.

  There is a lot of that on HN whenever Tesla is the subject.

    If Elon was any good at keeping his word it wouldn’t be an issue.

This appears to be the source given[1] for the claims https://www.snowbullcapital.com/tracking-tesla-job-postings https://www.snowbullcapital.com/tracking-tesla-job-postings. No idea what to make of this methodology, which appears to be based on tracking re-use of req ids. Someone must be scraping LinkedIn data, which would surely be more reliable.

      Tricks? You detached a perfectly valid thread. Kathpathy only responded to this thread with a shallow dismissal and none of the other critiques. That should tell you something.
      - dang 5y ago
        By "trick" I mean posting whatever you posted and then deleting it and claiming that it was "censored by dang" when you had zero basis for saying that. That's obviously abusive. If you have a problem with, or a question about, why I moderated the thread a certain way, that's of course fine, but a different issue.
