If they don't bring out the dancing robot guy again and then reveal that it's actually Optimus wearing a costume I'm going to be disappointed.

Actually you have that completely backwards.Elon says that Neural Networks (NN) are replacing C++ code. Specifically, heuristics are being replaced with NN code. Heuristic is something that is learned through trial and error, rather than something that is known to be true. A non self driving example of a heuristic is the size of tcp window for optimal TCP transport.
Isn't it normal to say you're laying off employees to cut costs when you're actually just trying to get rid of the bottom 10%? You just freeze hiring until the layoff is done for plausible deniability and then start hiring again right after.Interesting that Tesla postponed AI day .... just before announcing hiring freeze. Or may be the AI team is exempt from hiring freeze.
There are all kinds of rules about layoffs and hiring. In WA for eg., you can't hire for the same position (which usually translates to same title) within a certain time, IIRC. I'm sure CA will have similar rules.Isn't it normal to say you're laying off employees to cut costs when you're actually just trying to get rid of the bottom 10%?

Interesting. That is a process that some companies do. I used to consult for a greedy executive named Marggraff that liked to do this every year. I stopped doing work for him simply because of that process. It didn't sit well with me.Isn't it normal to say you're laying off employees to cut costs when you're actually just trying to get rid of the bottom 10%?

It's called 'rank and yank'. It's a great technique to keep morale in check.Isn't it normal to say you're laying off employees to cut costs when you're actually just trying to get rid of the bottom 10%?

That could backfire too. More people on beta, more chances for someone to mess around and cause an accident which would bring negative press and government scrutiny. Many people aren't ready for the intense experience and heightened concentration required for beta.Well Elon could help TSLA by opening up FSD Beta to the next 100k persons waiting for it. It will jolt the market that non Beta FSD is around the corner. It will also remove Elon from the negative portrayal in the media. No one in the US has been added since last year. If he says wide release of FSD Beta is due this year and half a year gone, and he is still afraid to give FSD Beta to those who are at 95 score just indicates the product is far away from full release.
A large financial (that rhymes with Capital None) does this regularly across their tech divisions. The way it’s done there is to hire more than needed first, then 6 months later announce “redeployments” (layoffs) to include bottom 10-15%. Great way to eliminate lower performers and mix in some persons over a certain age to covertly eliminate to make way for younger fresh talent, typically 21-28 or so. Bright eyed, hard working, motivated, not yet jaded by corp world politics.Isn't it normal to say you're laying off employees to cut costs when you're actually just trying to get rid of the bottom 10%?

I hate to be a contrarian, but IMO, his not releasing FSD Beta to more people is about the only decision he's made recently that I actually agree with... it's just not ready.Well Elon could help TSLA by opening up FSD Beta to the next 100k persons waiting for it.
Correct, also more people means more chances of accidents and an increased change of a fatality. Despite the 100 US deaths a day on roads when this happens, and it will happen, it is going to clobber TSLA and be headline news for days.I hate to be a contrarian, but IMO, his not releasing FSD Beta to more people is about the only decision he's made recently that I actually agree with... it's just not ready....
I don’t believe the current beta participants are somehow more ready than any of us who have achieved the same safety score and mileage.That could backfire too. More people on beta, more chances for someone to mess around and cause an accident which would bring negative press and government scrutiny. Many people aren't ready for the intense experience and heightened concentration required for beta.
I only see people who already have beta access making this argument…I hate to be a contrarian, but IMO, his not releasing FSD Beta to more people is about the only decision he's made recently that I actually agree with... it's just not ready.
I'm in the Beta program, and have had numerous white knuckle (and potentially deadly) moments with FSD Beta that I'm very surprised no one has been killed by it yet.
Up until the last couple of updates, FSD Beta was timid enough that it gave you quite a bit of time to recover from any poor decisions it made. The last few updates have increased the speed at which it reacts to various things (like accelerating when making a turn) that cuts the reaction time for you to correct it down a long, long way. It is now capable of "doing the worst possible thing, at the worst possible time" at a speed exceeding the ability of a mere human to correct it.
Yes, I do believe that Tesla will get this figured out eventually, but we are going to need to have a lot (a lot) of patience. Let them get further into the development process and get a safer product before releasing it to more people.
They're not more ready, it's a percentages problem, a battle of attrition.I don’t believe the current beta participants are somehow more ready than any of us who have achieved the same safety score and mileage.
Then don't take my word for it, take Elon's.I only see people who already have beta access making this argument…
That has zero chance of becoming true i.e. SP getting a "jolt" because of some more people getting FSD Beta. Infact media can spin this as another negative by printing how Tesla is threatening traffic safety by unleashing test software (like many haters here do).Well Elon could help TSLA by opening up FSD Beta to the next 100k persons waiting for it.

I was only speaking to the final sentence. “Many people aren't ready for the intense experience and heightened concentration required for beta.”They're not more ready, it's a percentages problem, a battle of attrition.
Oh, Tesla definitely has their reasons. I suspect it’s partly due to perceived safety risk. I also suspect they either can’t handle the additional influx of data, don’t see a need for it, or don’t have means to sort through additional data efficiently.Then don't take my word for it, take Elon's.
If Elon et al felt that it was safe enough to go ahead and release it to more beta testers, he/they would. They aren't holding back the floodgates just to be jerks about it, they are doing it for a reason. What other reason could there possibly be other than the fact that it just isn't ready/safe enough yet?
