      Careful. You wouldn’t would upset a huge bitch that has no friends when they have a 200kg robot with an internet connection in your house now, would you?

        If it’s built anything like a cybertruck about the best it’s gonna do is burn the house down after it gets stuck on the living room rug.

    I’m calling it right now, if these things ever come to market, they will be remote controlled by slaves in the third world, with a bowl of rice per day as their payment.

    Man a cleaning robot would be kinda neat, but realistically it would have too much potential to make a huge fucking mess. Like, a roomba that drives over dog poop can only mess up in a single dimension but a full-ass robot?! Just imagine the mess it would make literally every time it takes out the trash. Or if it mistakes a flower pot full of dirt for a dish that needs to go in the dishwasher.

      There’s no way these things will be affordable for most tasks. It takes a million dollars to raise an American worker, but many people will quickly suffer and starve if they don’t work for a small cleaning wage.

        I wouldn’t be quite so pessimistic! Many places, especially in Europe, have been making massive breakthroughs in consumer rights to repair and data privacy laws. If we keep big companies in check and pressure the government for further progress in those sectors, it might be possible for us to just kill rich people and take their robots without the robots tattling 💕

        Those eyes are to record you so Tesla can sell the VR videos on onlyfans.

        Like how they sell excess power from your powerwalls to the power companies.

      I’m picturing one of these bipedal robots carrying a ripped, dripping garbage bag all the way through the house, hobbling along in that slow, wobbly gait they have, struggling with the doorknob for 5 minutes and eventually arriving at the sidewalk bin 20 minutes later to deposit a soggy mostly empty bag and then spending the rest of the day attempting to gather all the trash from the ground in this mysterious trail of garbage that leads from the sidewalk all the way back to the garbage can.

    The robot has a chance to do something really funny when it’s on stage with Elon and becomes self aware.

        I have a feeling we would get the one that rips it’s own head off or shoots itself despite hoping for the other one.
