      Unfortunately if it is anything like AI for software development, if the CEOs sense any progress they will fire people first and ask questions later. Even if the technology is subpar.

      When new factories are created in the US, they will be as automated as they can be. Farming, driving vehicles (delivery, taxi, trucking, etc.), unloading trucks, stocking shelves; all of that will be done by robots eventually. Other jobs like entry level office jobs and customer support will be eliminated too and replaced with AI, as well as mid level management and creative work.

      I don’t know if Elon will deliver, but someone will – and there is a ton of money on the line for whoever figures it all out first.

      Maybe we’ll all get to all live in some utopia, but I doubt it…

        I think that if utopia is achieved, many of us will have to bleed for it. I am not looking forward to being part of the process…but I don’t think the elite will give anyone a reasonable choice.

      Does it even matter if they deliver? While admittedly their whole history has been a gamble with new technology, there is not a known market for those robots. It’s easy for everyone to play with ai because you can start for free. However even if they can get a robot down to the price of a new car, who is buying that? For what?

      It may happen and I’d love to see widespread adoption of humanoid robots, but it’s hard to see this working out for them.

      If tesla has any hope this decade, it is trucks and storage, not ai or robotics
