https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1001860992769318914 Dr. Li’s concern about the implications of military contracts for Google has proved prescient. The company’s relationship with the Defense Department since it won a share of the contract for the Maven program, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret video images and could be used to improve the targeting of drone strikes, has touched off an existential crisis, according to emails and documents reviewed by The Times as well as interviews with about a dozen current and former Google employees. It has fractured Google’s work force, fueled heated staff meetings and internal exchanges, and prompted some employees to resign. The dispute has caused grief for some senior Google officials, including Dr. Li, as they try to straddle the gap between scientists with deep moral objections and salespeople salivating over defense contracts. ... Executives at DeepMind, an A.I. pioneer based in London that Google acquired in 2014, have said they are completely opposed to military and surveillance work, and employees at the lab have protested the contract. The acquisition agreement between the two companies said DeepMind technology would never be used for military or surveillance purposes. About a dozen Google employees have resigned over the issue, which was first reported by Gizmodo. One departing engineer petitioned to rename a conference room after Clara Immerwahr, a German chemist who killed herself in 1915 after protesting the use of science in warfare. And “Do the Right Thing” stickers have appeared in Google’s New York City offices, according to company emails viewed by The Times. lol

I think they knew there were failures but they founds the parts sheet that confirms these are cast aluminum which is horrifying everyone in the thread that works in the auto sector or metallurgy and even for a cast part they're saying the quality is dogshit

Taintrunner posted:oh godddd that hits the spot like hot drat roll that beautiful bean footage well whats funny is he didn't even start the car company; he just bought it whats unsurprising is the Model S, which was basically his baby vs the original founders and is something actually built entirely by Tesla vs the roadster which had a power-train by tesla and a chassis by lotus, has serious flaws because Musk micromanaged it to hell and probably ended up with an engineering department full of mostly loyal/overworking/cheap personnel rather than competent

I don’t know jack poo poo about pre-musk tesla. they were originally started by a loan from the department of energy from the same program that republicans attempted to vilify after solyndra the loan allowed them to build/retool their fremont factory after all the private lenders turned them down in case you might've thought that elong was actually involved in something that wasn't subsidized by the government in some way

The execs in charge of this just seem so intent on making themselves look as greedy and out of touch as possible.
