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.
It's a scary thought, like the first time I was confronted with statistics about literacy. Googling just now: 21% functionally illiterate (<5th grade reading level) and 54% read below a 6th grade reading level.
We all have different experiences, mine was likely brought on by circumstance as I was raised very conservative fundamental Christian. The lightbulb began to glow in highschool, then brighter in college, but I didn't fully acknowledge it until later. Even then it took over a decade beyond that to come to terms with my own identity, but that's a different story in a way.
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
