Well, it weighs 125 and can't carry more than 45lbs. One thing about Musk. No matter how much AI or killer robots scare you, they terrify him more. He's spent billions making sure if we build AI, it's one we can pull the plug on. And he made sure his robot is so weak it can be pushed over by most adult humans. You want Terminator, look at Boston Dynamics Atlas..... Damn thing does parkour.....
I want one.

The one from Tesla is a sex bot plain and simple.

Not at all. If it can take a lot of the simple crap I spend time doing, I'm all for it.
Wait, which piece is from 2019?

Just sneakin' around....
There was an inset "More Parkour" 39 seconds, dated 2019. It looked just like the one you posted to, wrongly assumed they were from the same time frame...
If that idea takes off I'm going to buy stock in SERVPRO because I'm sure they'll start up a new specialized cleaning service.

You laugh, I know someone who had a similar business, they got a call to clean up an apartment after the resident died. The apartment was full of sex toys, porno magazines and wadded up tissues covered the floor knee deep.

Didn't watch, was this part of his plan for Mars colonization? These guys do the initial setup/grunt work?

Not spoken of during the presentation, but I'm of the belief that there is not a single thing he does that doesnt have that as an alternate purpose.
- Spaceships to get there.
- EVs to travel around once you get there.
- Boring Co to make the tunnels for habitats.
- Robots offload a lot of the grunt work, sweeping off the solar cells, keeping the airlock tidy.
What he said was that it's stated purpose was to do jobs that humans hate to to or are too dangerous.

Or simply can't exist in, like no atmosphere and sub-zero temps. Robots for Mars colonization makes a lot of sense.

And then we're stuck with even more people with nothing to do.
Though I hope it succeeds.

We've been existing in such environments for quite a while now.....

Yes, but with expensive and cumbersome external support hardware. Robots won't need any of that.

Maybe as helpers, but the whole point is to get some eggs out of this basket.
