Tesla unveils "Optimus" robot prototype with opposable thumbs

Elon Musk showed off a prototype humanoid robot walking and waving its hand, seeking to demonstrate Tesla Inc.'s advances in artificial intelligence.

At the electric automaker's AI Day late Friday, Musk also showed a video of the robot picking up boxes and moving through a rendered office building to water plants.

Whoa walking and waving, so cool.
Anyways.

Boston Dynamics is laughing.

Give them out for free to work as domestic robots & all the data they gather is for The Company.

COSATU will object.

Is Elon going to raw dawg the "girl" version of the robot ? Making more children...

Elon really should have just made a bid to buy Boston dynamics.

Cheaper than Twitter and actually has a product.

At least he doesn't require the government or tax money to care for his kids.

He got the government money earlier... well played . But yes..at least he can support them financially.

Wish we could bring out a uniquely SA / Western Cape version of these new Ai driven robots but like Twiki,
call it Twakkie.

Biddie biddie, jou ma se p**s, gooi'it jouself jou sleg f*k.

Aside from having to show off something to back up his claims, I think what he is trying to do is sell people on the idea of commercially scalable "cheap" robotic servants. You know, if we do this right we end up in a time of plenty...


When ever have we done "it" right?



Lol.


Honestly to approach the future he's going on about, we need to be already exploring the acquisition & processing of raw materials in micro gravity, by robots. As well as then construction in zero g and then scale that so it becomes economically feasible to do so.

We also need to really step up our recycling game and tech. Like a lot.


If we are as close as they say we are to Fusion as a viable power source, we probably will have the energy density we need to do all this, but we'd anyway have to start looking outside of the Earth for our next supply or raw mats.

Earth will have to be the breadbasket of the solar system as well as still being home to the majority of humans... for quite some time.
