Every conference/tech showcase is carefully staged to maximize investments.
Well, often times not Tesla.
Is the future just having a human slave in a third world country strap into VR and carry your groceries for you?
Similar to the company who just dressed up models as robots for their presentation
I feel that almost certainly that is where Musk got the idea from, it worked for them, etc!
You remember the first time Musk talked about robotaxis? He never delivered. This robotaxi is another vaporware
Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren’t using it. Still waiting on that one…
Whaaaat? A company whose market valuation is almost entirely built on a perpetual lie about automation they are delivering “someday” lied about their ability to deliver automation??
I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
We live in a fucking nightmare. Rich assholes wining and dining with robots while most of the world fucking suffers. It’s actually crazy. We are bringing into our reality what was just a bad dream like 50 years ago. This is just wild man.
All those sci-fi novels were meant as warnings not instruction manuals
Elon Musk loves a fake presentation.
Turk in a box you say? I’m shocked! Shocked!
Well, not that shocked.
Question - assuming they are human controlled, how do these compare with bots created by competitors like Boston Dynamics?
They don’t. They are not competitors. This is not a product that exists as a real purchasable item. Those little robot dog toys are closer to BD than what Elon has done here.
i’m expecting the first million optimus robots will be remote controlled by armies of ‘trainers’ and elon will claim the ai will use the footage to train itself to do everything later, but we need a trillion+ dollars of compute to achieve that, but the software and hardware required are simply not possible at any budget anytime soon. maybe its good enough to have mass remote slavery for some.
The people apologizing for this sort of behavior, even here, just shows how easy it is to manipulate people.
Maybe there’s a brain in there imported from some poor country.
See: the cyborg soldier subplot of Metal Gear Rising: Revengence
The real reason for the brain implant chips company… brains in jars controlling robots.
I mean if drone pilots are cucking people and blowing them instead of blowing them up, I’ll take that as progress at this point

He [Elmo] referred to these as “your own personal R2D2 C3-PO,” and that in the long term, these robots would cost less than a car – specifically, ~$20k-$30k. A video also described them as an “autonomous assistant, humanoid friend” which could be used for basically any task you can think of.
Perhaps don’t market things as something they’re not?
Imagine paying 30k$ so that some guy in India gives you regular handjobs 🤦
Now imagine that’s your job 🤦
They’re not marketing them as something they’re not. They’re marketing them as something they will be…
I mean that’s probably false also, but my point stands.
It’s incredibly misleading to just omit the fact that they’re remote controlled but misleading is very on-brand for Tesla.
They’re marketing them as something they will be…
That is false advertising—which is illegal.
LOL WTF? You think product concepts are illegal? 🤣

So what’s our timeline here?
Not long! It will probably happen in our lifetimes. We just need to figure out… how to make it work

You’re pretending as if he’s just honest and this is just the most reasonable ways of doing things.
You’re completely ignoring the intentional misrepresentation of the capabilities of the technology. The main point of the robots is to be autonomous, which they’re not.
It’s like if I were making some waterproof product and then made a huge presentation in which I have to avoiding getting any water on the product, while pretending they’re immersed in water.
In this instance he is marketing what the final product is meant to do
He’s been doing that with full self driving for the last decade and the event showed it might be a decade more. It doesn’t give much confidence.
Is Tesla selling their fully autonomous driving cars yet?
A promise from Melon means nothing.
Which is lying. Miss selling conceptually in the UK. It would be illegal.
shouldn’t market them as fully developed humanoid assistants, then.
