It’s why greyscale colors are the most popular car colors, with grey pulling up to white as one of the top car colors (white is a very common color for rental cars) www.basf.com/dam/jcr:0ddf....

I’m talking about parenting, by the way.

The idea of creating and training another intelligence, through a process so opaque people who work on it often don’t even fully understand how it works, giving it all of our important stuff to do, then expecting to be able to understand any of its decisions seems completely unreasonable.

You’ll be missed Tracy! Best of luck!
