as if cops themselves don’t love methamphetamine and not showing up when called? I unironically would love a tighter community where you can call members of it for help when you need it instead of some overarmed C-student from the suburbs who doesn’t care at best, and wants us all to die at worst. at least crackheads…

Many factories already use highly specialized and articulated robots in their automation systems and would have no use for a humanoid version.

I’m pretty sure Musk no longer has the slightest idea what either of those things mean anymore, but I’d love to hear him try and define them!

Elon Musk’s Three Rules of Robotics:

All robots are pre-programmed scripts. They can’t even preprogram Optimus. And Atlas doesn’t need preprogramming to work. It can do the same tasks with a controller.

If I was interested in people thinking I am very cool and smart. I would have just. Not shown people my robot until I had something cool to show.
