    I am personally rather skeptical about the commercial viability of humanoid robots in 2026, but I suppose that we shall see.

      They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.

        I’m sure that’s the vision but I’m not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.

      You should see just how far Boston Dynamics has progressed. They’ve been working on it for literally decades, and it shows. They may have humanoid AI robots working in automotive assembly lines within a year or two:

        If it’s taken Boston Dynamics decades it’s going to take Elon Musk centuries.

        Doubt. There was FT article about robots efficiency in factories with title.

        Robots only half as efficient as humans, says leading Chinese producer

        https://archive.ph/Gzi41

        Robots in this and next deade will be big flop. It will be like with VR from 80s and 90s

          It won’t matter if they’re cheaper.

          People are very expensive.

      He is shifting production to a robot he can’t even show a working prototype for. The US taxpayer will be buying some expensive Roombas in 2026…

      The military and DHS will buy them up like hot cakes i bet. Coming soon to a street corner near you. My question is will they be armed with 5.56 or 7.62?
