Elon Musk’s Humanoids
Posted by Many-Foundation8017@reddit | collapse | View on Reddit | 31 comments
How do you guys feel about Elon Musk’s humanoids? He said he thinks they can help do common tasks and be common in households.. What are y’all’s opinions on how this AI could impact society and potential collapse of? I’ve been seeing lots of memes about it and people comparing it to the I-Robot movie. Personally I think it’s pretty crazy to think about, and is low key anxiety inducing. He’s saying they’ll be sold at $20,000-$30,000, and could begin being seen in houses in 2027. May seem far away, but it’s basically only 2 years away 😬

Nothing that man produces will ever be a part of my life for any reason. Line fucking drawn.

I initially read this as man meaning humanity. Lol that's hardcore primitive living
nihilistpartyclown@reddit
Lol, yeah that’d be a pretty tough way to live! By its own definition I’d have to dispose of everything I made to help myself since I’m man.😂😂😂

I know him. Because he IS me!

LOL, multiple major Japanese companies have been working on this for a couple decades so far and all believe it is 2035 to 2050 before it is commercially viable.

If he's promising $30k they will end up going for more than double that (if the Cybertruck is any indication). I fail to see what a robot could possibly do that I would spend that much money on. As others have said, this is probably just another ploy to boost his stock price.

I believe him when he says everyone will have one some day. You will fight it at first but eventually you'll buy one too. Every family will have one at least. All of human history has led to the moment where we can buy AI assistants. We are in wild times.

Guarantee that robot won't be there to help you during a natural disaster and will be easily be left behind during an evacuation.

It's not about needing help in an emergency. It's about having your own personal assistant that will increase your quality of life 100 fold for relatively cheap.

Sure bro

"I think it’s pretty crazy to think about"
ChatGPT is crazy 3 years ago. A smart phone is crazy 20 years ago. A plane is crazy 200 years ago.
Not even star trek (which aired in 1966) predicts smart phones. Their communicator is way worse than an iphone.
Robots will not be crazy once every household has one. And who does not want a robot slave? I will buy one in a heart-beat if it can do what Elon promises.

LMFAO
Many-Foundation8017@reddit (OP)
I understand phones and chat gpt and stuff that people used to think were crazy is now normal. However, phones and a humanoid robot in my opinion are a bit different. I’d rather keep doing my house work and other things my self, and not spend that much money on something to do things for me and I don’t trust it.

Why would you want that?

Once the sex robots can do chores and make food it's over for the human race.
Background-Head-5541@reddit
LOL
thatguyad@reddit
Weren't they pretty much fake?
Gingerbread-Cake@reddit
How much do these things weigh?
People’s roombas got hacked last week and started shouting racial slurs. I don’t even want to think about what these stupid things could be made to do

Very happy with the comments here. :)

I hear they were controlled by humans. I got to thinking about a future were jobs were done remotely by the lowest bidders of robot operators.

I thought the Muppets were better.
mygoditsfullofstar5@reddit
lol, cut out the middleman and just do like Elmo: Hire college interns/Indian call-center workers to clean your house, mix your drinks and scare your kids. Because these "robots" are just remote control toys and Elmo will never, ever, deliver the products he promised Thursday.

This is literally the same thing as those robots japan was releasing years ago. The ones you saw in the presentation are being puppeted or on a premade track and there’s nothing novel about them. Want to see real robots do robot things? Look at what general dynamics is doing. Its all hype to try and boost TSLA’s stock price but theyll never deliver like they didn’t on the robotaxis.

Turned out humans were pretty much controlling Musk's.
Basically a big remote-controlled toy
1Squid-Pro-Crow@reddit
Turned out they were HEAVILY human-aided.
Visual_Ferret_8845@reddit
Great, now I can finally get a robot to fold my laundry and judge my outfit choices! But let's be real, with my luck, my humanoid will probably just binge-watch Netflix and leave dirty dishes in the sink.
Muhbeeps80@reddit
They’re his future bodyguards for when he doesn’t need humans anymore
Patriot2046@reddit
As an ecologist, I’m not crazy about making a species (machine) that will be superior to humans. Never ends well in nature…

Musk makes cars that catch fire if they get wet. if he's the one ushering in the great robopocalypse, then I for one welcome our new overhyped future scrapyard occupants.
aznoone@reddit
I prefer the Boston Dynamics with a side of Google ai. Why some like Musk through Trump want Alphabet dismantled.
