Gigapress
Trying to be less wrong
Right. The beginning of the Optimus section was Ashok saying, “I’d like to introduce Elon back on stage to give some more updates” and then the video started.Oh no it's a straight on lie because Elon talked about the demo as if it's a real demo. First thing he said was "few months ago optimus couldn't even walk" as optimus was walking in the demo. We have seen optimus walk in CGI simulation from AI day.
If the capabilities demonstrated in the video were faked with CGI, then this was tantamount to lying. A pretend animation is not an update.
Maybe it is fake but that’s an extraordinary claim that should require extraordinary evidence. That would mean that Tesla decided to defraud investors for some reason and spent time making this video instead of doing actual work towards the mission. That seems implausible in my opinion.
