I don't think that less employees/layoffs directly correlates with less productivity. As the mythical man month has teached us: what one engineer can do in one month, two engineers can do in a year. It's possible that Intel

You make an interesting point. I initially do think there is a scale where someone should not be allowed to just destroy something just because it's theirs. In the same way the US government has eminent domain to stop someone from hoar

It is victim blaming. No reasonable person can keep up with all the privacy notices in their life. Did you read your cars privacy notices? How about your email? Your phone? Your kids school website? What about the terms and conditions for a

Unnecessary victim blaming. The implications of technology like this are significantly less obvious than you think they are. It's not even very obvious that Tesla's have in cabin cameras. It's not mentioned anywhere during th

Tesla is a luxury car manufacturer. Of course they have less sales. Luxury brands have lower volume and higher profit margins. You're comparing Gucci and Levi's.

I'm a vegan and I'm disappointed this is being down voted. This is a real concern and is even addressed by the FDA in the proposal. Plant based milks are not identical in vitamin content and can cause nutritional deficiencies if d

That's exactly what's being proposed. The document specifically says that the word milk should be proceeded by the plant used to make it.

The same is true for butter, yet nobody has any qualms about "peanut butter" not being made of dairy products. The term "oat milk" is clear. It is made of oats and resembles milk.

Research isn't always about finding surprising things. Some of the most important research ever conducted is proving things that seem intuitive, especially when it proves the opposite.

I think this opens up an interesting cat and mouse game however. Once the model is trained on this shirts, the shirts could just be left around town and all of a sudden everything is a human. Now they have to refine their algorithm even mor

I hate this ridiculously unfair double standard. If someone costs a company money, we ruin their life. If a company ruins someone's life, we charge the company money. If a cashier at a fast food restaurant takes $30 from the register,
