My optimist: surely Musk will not be able to get away with being caught in this obvious lie.
My realist: he's gonna get away with it again.
The optimistic take is that no one is that stupid.
The realistic take is that musk fanboys will claim that the robot is so advanced, that it thinks it's alive and mimics someone taking his headset off, because it has seen it.
I'm sure we'll see, "the AI was trained on human operator recordings - which unfortunately included headset removal actions, Tesla is now working to filter that from the model".
The operator typically goes straight to sleep after removing his helmet as it's a very taxing job. Nothing unusual.
They're actually shot in the head when their shift is over and they remove the headset - to prevent leaks of Optimus being a charade.
Sadly it's not even limited to fanboys, just the completely oblivious. I was kinda shocked recently to explain to a work friend how idiotic musk is with receipts. He was perplexed, "... But he's that smart tech billionaire, right?" Just taking the world at face value.
I remember coming into my actualization in my late 20s and making the horrific realization that the vast majority of people never go through that.
If we wanted to to do that we’d say it wasn’t taking headphones off, it was throwing up its arms in panic that it was having a stroke. See the immediate collapse
Remember those Tesla solar roof tiles? Fake. Made by a prop company in LA.
Tesla solar still exists, but they just install typical panels, because PUTTING SOLAR TILES IN THE SHADY ROOF SIDE WAS STUPID.
I’ve seen a local installation of the tiles. I asked the contractor all about them as they went in. They are real.
While I really don’t want to defend that flop, they didn’t. Their goal was to create identical tiles so the roof looked consistent but only some would be the more expensive solar tiles
Yeah but they delivered fuck all.
I know theyre banned in my town, fire marshal and electrical inspector said fuck that.
Theres actually a guy who has them on his roof. Hes not allowed to turn the system on, even islanded to make power, and he eats a decent yearly fine just for having them on his roof, which is deemed a hazard by the fire marshal, should he have a fire.
Are you sure? I remember seeing other legitimate roofing companies selling solar roof tiles too. I think I even remember watching an installation video. They weren't rigid tiles, they were flexible and nailed down similarly to shingles.
