I'm sure people are thinking about it, but with high resolution scanning, 3D printing, etc., it feels like it should be possible to create extremely high quality reproductions of famous artwork at scale, and at a fairly reasonable cost.

Is anyone working on this?

There will also be things like not having DWIs and even cheap parking (since the car can drive away and park) that'll net out for self driving. And feedback loops there- the same size police force only pulling over manual cars from a smaller and smaller pool.

Consider: if a non-self driving car is in an accident with a self driving car, it'll almost always be the non-self driving car at fault. And with the telemetry from the self-driving car, they can prove it too, so accidents that would have been no-fault or shared fault become fully the non-self driving cars fault. And so I think insurance for non-self driving cars gets expensive fast as there are more and more self driving cars on the road.

I'd want to do it so I could sell my place and move. No doubt if I sell my place now, the bank is just taking that money and lending it out again, making a profit on the difference in rates.

Given they're so securitized, I wish I could buy back my own mortgage at a discount given how much interest rates have risen. It feels that given the notes about conforming mortgages being fungible, that product/service should exist.

"Honestly, I'm worried I can't afford to move, you're a smart guy, I bet you're worried about that too. I get it, I don't want to be 'that' tenant." (label the negative emotion, empathize)

"How am I supposed to move so soon? It'd cost me $1500 and I can barely even afford the rent." (Anchor a price, turn it into problem solving)

"This is probably going to sound unreasonable, but could you help me with the move? That way I can be sure to be out on time." (Calibrated question to guide the conversation)

What have your experiences with vector databases been? I've been using https://weaviate.io/ which works great, but just for little tech demos, so I'm not really sure how to compare one versus another or even what to look for really.

I think incentives are part of the solution, but culture is the other part. The organizations views toward risks and failure are going to shape how people place their bets in their career.

In big companies, it's rarely the success of the project. Usually it's a combination of keeping your job and growing your career.

Most big companies provide limited upside for success, and the downside risk is higher for the people. Consider:

1. The project is successful. You get a nice little bonus at the end, if anything. Maybe a promotion a year later.

2. The project is a failure and people can point part that you were responsible for. You get nothing, or worse, you're fired.

3. The project is a failure, but people can't point at you as the reponsible party. You keep your job, even get a small raise because you did your part.

Part of this is inevitable in my opinion, but organizations should really ask themselves what behavior they're incentivizing and rewarding, especially in a repeated fashion. If your people swing for the fences and miss -- what happens, and how does that compare to the people who bunt or stay on the bench?

Is changing the terms of a service agreement with no confirmation/acceptance from the user even legal or enforceable?
