Recruiting presentation? I don’t really buy that, AI guys are wise enough to see through it, and it’s not like FSD will be finished soon. I saw it more as trying to detract from the lack of FSD progress and the revealing of some fundamental issues 5 years after they started shipping cars like image alignment from the different cameras. Has it really taken them 5 years to realise that was a problem?

There are some clever machines in the world but few are general purpose ones - maybe the JCB being one of the few. Almost anything the robot will be able to do will be able to be done better by a machine built for the job. Picking fruit there’s machines, selecting the bad apple from a conveyor - there’s a machine for that with specialist sensors etc

40 years ago there was no such thing as an app developer. No-one had ever heard of Java programming.
30 years ago the Internet was something only known about by the very hardest of hardcore computer geeks.
20 years ago no-one could imagine houses having an 85" TV display lit by organic LEDS and controlled by voice.

It's very dangerous to think that we can judge the future using our standards. I personally would think that specialised devices show that we are on the very early parts of the development curve. Designing bespoke tools used to be the way that we built machines. Every maker had their own specification until some bloke called Whitworth came along and suggest standardisation. Now we know that we can pick up any 13mm spanner will fit any metric threaded bolt with a 8mm outside diameter.
 
So long as it’s a metric thread and not an American or indeed a Whitworth thread and the head is actually hexagonal... 😈
And none of the above has really improved 'Happiness' - just fuelled more jealousy, greed, obesity and population...
 
noone mentioned Agility yet? - let's just buy Agility Robotics, looks like they already built exactly what Tesla needs for the start:

Is anyone suprised they left stealh mode right after AI day to position themselves for Tesla to be aquired?

I mean - we can replace that LIDAR thing on the top with Tesla Vision, paint the robot in black/white and we're done right? :cool:

Don't forget the red Tesla logo on the chest ;)
