Every single one of them are perfectly sliced, to the exact millimeter. But the really interesting thing is, I was expecting all the tomatoes to be sliced and kind of stacked up, kind of like a deck of cards. But but when I turned around, he said he needed another another plate. And the reason for that was because all of the tomatoes he cut, none of them touched each other. Once he separates one slice of tomato from the other tomato, they shall not touch again.” ([via]( [Zuckerberg Huang swap jackets onstage]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Your kid's photos were used to train AI models (and you can't do anything about it) Human Rights Watch just completed a [sweeping audit of AI training materials]( revealed that pictures of children scraped from the internet were used to train models — without the consent of the children or their families.   “Some children’s names are listed in the accompanying caption or the URL where the image is stored.
