I've read claims that they are desperately trying to hire.

View on HN

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.

Please don't perpetuate tedious flamewars.

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.

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.

> Purpose is recruiting.

This appears to be the source given[1] for the claims 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.
