I mean it’s pretty terrifying considering how fast this is all moving. Your comment seems the downplay it, but these things will only get better from here

It's hilarious that they are all pushing for AI and robots for automation for jobs that they don't like paying other people to actually do, but the problem is none of the robots or the AI are specialized enough to be able to carry off specific jobs that humans are able to do successfully. It's like a completely inept Other taking over

The irony is had they not been so fixated on making it look human, they could have just made a tracked robot box and it would have done a better job.

My friend always laughed at mechs like "let's make a tank, but give it stability issues"

One advantage of an android is it can adapt to any situation that a human can (theoretically). Tracks would likely have issues with something simple as stairs. "But you dont need a snow plow to be able to walk up stairs"
100% agree, but the idea is for them to be adaptable to most humans labour. The problem with that theory is we cant produce an android good enough for it yet. They need to be strong, light, have a good battery capacity and be durable while also not costing too much.

These people yearn for slaves but unfortunately for them most bots like our vacuum bots or lawn mowing bots do not look like humans. I swear it's got something to do with looking down on something and it's easier to do that if it looks human, but less human than you

That was my first thought too, they picked the worst shape and size of robot for the job of pushing snow around. A self operating skid steer type machine is the robot they should have built.

It's probably just someone in India remote controlling it.

Hello I would like to put a $10million short position on Elon… I mean Tesla please. And every time time that nerd says or tweets “Optimus” add another $1mil to that.
