I reckon having robots walk like they’ve shat themselves is done on purpose. It makes it look human and more vulnerable vs this fecker which looks like it will eviscerate you.
How about not having a sig at all?

Why hasn’t Musk just bought Boston Dynamics? Or has he got no money now?

Can't wait till they combine Boston Dynamics robots with ChatGPT or Gemini.

Lol. Embedded tweets have been fucked all day. Got a tweet embedded somewhere (see from Page 55 here) ?

That's what you get.

On other sites, it'll load some content, but not the frames, etc.

Amazing.

Important note: Optimus cannot yet do this autonomously
It's literally playing back a stored routine

Funny how he didn't include that in the original tweet, isn't it?

Edit: It looks like it's being tele-operated by someone to the right.

Pathetic.

Look at it from the perspective that this is only what, 2 years old now? Bet you couldn't fold a shirt by yourself when you were 2 :lol:

This is from over two years ago. There's a 'click to buy' link in this videos description.



It's clearly bollocks that he then had to back down from what he was previously doing - presenting it as autonomous - when his team were too dumb to properly camera block the teleoperator and he was called out on it by several people pointing it out.

Autonomously bipedal walking robots are now quite common in the research world, and teleoperation is not new by any stretch, not even highly dextrous variations.

It's a hype building exercise based on vapourware, and you fell for it.

Optimus folds a "shirt".....badly. :lol:

I like that the bloke on the right shoulder of the 'droid looks like he's also hung from the roof on a rope affixed to his noggin.

Why is a humanoid the best shape? Is it because we’ve created our homes and workspaces to our shape.. I feel there’s a better form out there for our future lords-and-masters.

It took a few hundred million years of evolution for my god like body to reach its current form. Good luck designing something better in just a few years ;)

Crazy I think that hundreds of millions of years of evolution have led to us still not being very good at ironing and folding t shirts though...

Ah, the Streisand effect.

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ ... 1853f9a766

Long story short, Musk repeatedly boosted a full blown neo-nazi apologia account saying that a jewish kid was a false flag CIA agent - a kid who wasn't even in the same state as the time the incident being 'discussed', that kid and their family had to move out of their home due to the harassment and so are now suing him for damages as without his repeated boosting of the account and their views (which over a million people saw) they'd never have had the problem.

Musk didn't even know what the case was about. He assumed it was some lawyer trying to get money out of him. He clearly didn't even read the motion or discuss it with his legal representation, despite being personally called for deposition.

Also the article (And court filings) confirm that the weird Musk Child account last year was absolutely him - he deleted the account the day that the court asked for details. He also confirmed it in the deposition, but claimed not to have used it. Which isn't likely, given the screenshots of it being one of his 'switchable profiles' reported at the time.

His lawyers desperately tried to get his deposition made confidential - probably because it shows Musk up as being mindlbowingly ignorant (The account he replied to was full of antisemetic rhetoric - he claimed he tries to be accurate, but that shows he either knew the account was massively bigoted, or he didn't and just replied to it because it confirms to his worldview) and laughably lacking in any kind of perspective, or an understanding how social media works - and they failed, so that article has a link to all his wildly out of touch non-answers; such as thinking that having your family being hounded out of their home by nazis doxxing them is not 'being meaningfully harmed'.

By coincidental timing, on the subject of Musks worldview, here's a 90 minute video on that which is well researched, sourced and presented on how Musk really seems to have a hard time not surrounding himself with nazis, nazi symphathisers, anti semites, and vocally supporting them.


If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's probably the 21st Century Henry Ford.
