    Their last "humanoid robot demo" was literally just a guy in a suit, now they're doing literally just a guy controlling waldoes, what progress

    Tesla always fakes demos. Literally. Always. The first model S demo was a Mercedes with different body panels

    This robotaxi thing? Same thing. I'd be willing to bet on it. The only thing that's surprising is that rubes keep falling for it.

        honestly wondering if it's safer for everyone to have the Foolish Fash in charge, which is a wild thing to be thinking as the parent of a trans kid, but 🤷 here we are

    theyve been talking about doing this to replace baristas and waiters and stuff with cheaper 3rd world labor remotely for a long time now.

      Really incredible that they're going for low-wage humanoid telerobots instead of just robotic arm baristas/bartenders (which actually work & exist, but presumably are too expensive & don't look like a slave).

    Amazing, we finally got a more advanced version of this guy and it only cost many millions of dollars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK6sqxT0ttQ

    It's really telling that all the batshit crazy scams that come from that asshole are always from the non-SpaceX companies he owns. Shotwell obviously knows how to manage her boss so he doesn't fuck things up for her.

        True, but SpaceX's entire premise of colonizing mars during our lifetime is potentially the most damaging lie that Elon pushes. Mars will not save us. No tech innovation is going to save us and Mars is never going to happen if we can't even take care of the planet that we have.

    I am pissed for all the millions of kids (globally) who got into tech dreaming of changing the world only to find out that everything big tech promised was either a lie or is actually making the world worse off. Or worse still, that they wasted the very best years of their lives and took on crippling levels of debt for a computer science degree that is now worthless because capitalists have decided that training juniors doesn't maximize short term profits. Fuck capitalism.
