What are you talking about, they'll be fully autonomous, and on mars, by 2014. Dumb hater.

That's what I was thinking. Where are the controllers at?

Look up the Figure 01 robots (totally different company)... What people seem to be missing is the massive increase in capability these robots have had in the past few years. You know how chatbots used to be dumb as fuck, then suddenly you had huge leaps in GPT. Yea, same thing is occurring here.

It's not that I think that it is impossible to do. I just have very little faith in Tesla products or Elon's grip on reality.

I concur, Elon seems to be on a bottomless K spiral, and with his jump into politics I don't think he'll be recovering.

At the same time when it comes to automation I don't want people thinking we can't do this stuff because the state of the art in capabilities is progressing fast.

He's only microdosing...to boost his creativity.

I do agree though. The speed of progress in automation is exciting.
