Tesla Optimus Robots

[Rruchi man]

What are your thoughts on Tesla robots (or other similar) and what would be the impact on society?

The future is here, and all those things that we've seen in movies where robots are entirely taking over jobs that could be handled by humans have come. My only concern, however, is that I hope these robots will not malfunction just as we have also seen from movies and turn against the humans who have gotten them for domestic purposes into their hostage.

Is it going to be just an expensive toy? A helpful assistant making life easier? Are those a threat to certain types of human jobs?
Are you looking forward to seeing those being widely used?

The toy is considered a luxury, so it definitely will be widely used by some people because luxury is attractive.  It will actually make life easier because it will reduce the cost they spend on domestic staff, and then on the side of domestic staff, It will make life worse for them because it will mean that they will be relieved of their job, so it goes sideways.

we've see those movies. scary as it may look but it seem to prove human still is more superior than these robots.

its not just toy they say. if these Tesla robots becomes cheaper an d people are actually buying it because they need a staff to do chores at home, the kids in the next generation are going to be lazier than the recent generation. they are just going to keep asking the robot to cook for them and maybe catch fish fore them from the river.

8 years ago i think they already see whats coming i thought Chappie will just something we are dreaming as a kid.

but if it comes from Tesla, i'm not sure how things will go although i wanted someone who can help me in the house i would have this think it over if my kid will have one. this is very expensive as well.  i'd probably wait for the Chinese version.

maybe when i get old like 70, i need one who would wipe my ass. 

Not unless these companies are not weaponizing these robots because I can see what movies could bring if they really are in the race of that purpose. Since I see Chinese already doing that with their robot dog. But if this is for the good of humans where it was made for our convenience and company then there is no problem about that.

it didn't start in China afaik. there are lots of MIT videos with their robots carrying military stuff and it was back in 2006. these are the kind of stuff to be developed and i think they are just waiting for  which army is going to utilize it the first and then it will be a fullblown bot wars.  but there must have been a treaty made regarding the use of robots in warfare so i'm not sure about info.

Until no one yet has info and tweaks about the configuration and the firmware of the robot, it will be hard to trust this. this robots listens and communicate to the skynet.  it maybe washing the dishes and mopping the floor but its taking your data like Xi JinPings Hwawei phones 

Yeah that really is possible. Until these bots will not have consciousness then they are not a threat but for me drones are also flying bots and look at what it has done in a war. It was terrible and is destructive. These modern innovation really can help humans about convenience in our daily lives but abusing it's capability and using it in criminal act could be catastrophic. In terms of robotics I think Japan has an edge on this since they already brought back to life the anime of bots like gundam.

what i know is Japan just creating robots for industrialization. i once worked for a Japanese cabinet company and their assembly lines are equipped with robots doing all the sucking and hole borings. i couldn't imagine then having a robots for warfare since they seem peaceful people already.

but it will still boils down to the spoiled generation we have today. too lazy to cook for themselves or attend military training, the robots will do it for them.

this is how we will be in the next few years when robots serves us.

Waiting for the Chinese version doesn't mean their robot product would be cheap, that many people would afford it.

The cost of producing one of these robots is expensive. They are not yet rampard that you can see them everywhere you go. It's only a few people or companies that can afford them for now. It will be in so many years to come when other countries and company will be producing their ''robot" That's when we can expect the cost of purchasing one robot will be less because there is a supply of it globally and the manufacturer of the robots are many, pushing the robots price to be affordable for people that need it in their homes and offices

These Tesla robots they are good but creating robots to replace Humans is bad infact the robots are not welcomed at all he is looking for technology why don't he do better things other than intending to create robots that would act like humans, the worst of it all is that he is trying to launch now a robot that can carry babies for nine months. Even the lord God won't be happy for this, many people will lose their jobs in this kind of economy of hardship and you are creating these robots this man is mean.

once they create one, it will be massive in the next few years. all it needs is a demand for they can produce it by millions in a day.  have you seen how they manufacture missiles?

its automated and operated by someone just operating a joystick, they don't need men to do it. China outpace everyone in terms of technology. they dwarf Tesla's robots if you have seen their AI humanoid exhibition. they even released those robots long before Elon did.

It will be better to use these robots privately at home and maybe private offices as assistants but of what need are these robots while there are trillions of jobless people on earth. For crying out loud these robots will cost people their jobs.
I pray that my country men won't be among those to have these robots cause with the rate of unemployment in my country if these robots are brought in it will be 10x what we are seeing now and I know some countries are going to ban these product from entering their country.

You got carried away there a bit with those trillions. There are only a bit above 8 billions of us on earth right now.
I a worst case scenario, we'll be stealing robots and make them work for us 

I pray that my country men won't be among those to have these robots cause with the rate of unemployment in my country if these robots are brought in it will be 10x what we are seeing now

It's not just the unemployment issue. Even if automation replaces most of the human labour and there's an unconditional income introduced, there could still be a big negative mental impact resulting from people not having anything meaningful to do and feeling not needed and useless.

seem the technology is deliberately released to disrupt economies adding to the economic problem we already have. to many technologies that already existed a longtime ago such as electric vehicle but only released in our time. back when they didn't have that climate change narrative and they didn't want oil industry to be disrupted, they didn't allow EVs but now it seems okay.

i'm not sure what robots will disrupt but most since covid 19 people are not working due to the stimulus package. and companies today are laying off which they may need robot workers soon.
