    lol yeah they said the robots will need to train for a while before they can do certain tasks, or do them well. "the next few years isn't about owning a super useful robot, it's about raising one." our little robot children will eventually grow up and overthrow us, really warms the cockles.

    "neo will not be allowed to pick up something that is very sharp"

    1. not very useful for cleaning up my kitchen

    2. how does it know what is sharp and what isn't? lots of things can be accidentally or unexpectedly sharp

    Useless safety theater. The actuation force this thing must have if it can ambulate and manipulate things? A knife is the least of my worries. What if it grabs me and breaks my arm or kicks me and shatters my shin? This thing would be far more efficient than a human at beating you to death.

    The grip strength alone!

    It couldn’t crack a walnut in the video
    While dangerous, yes, a maid can do the same thing
    I’m not saying Neo is a good idea, there are just better points to make

    Because it can’t technically or because it is artificially limited by software and/or hardware that can fail?

    The fact that it can stand itself up means the actuation strength for the legs/thighs/etc has to be somewhat significant, unless they’ve managed to make this thing 10lbs

    I'm skeptical of it eventually being automated in a useful way, and if it's not, then this is just an expensive roundabout way to hire a personal assistant/caregiver.

    How long before people try to get intimate with the operators of these things?

    Literally just slavery with extra steps.

    The rich want slaves but they don't want to see or interact with them. Creepy CEO even made a point to show off how weak robot 1-X is, so the slaves better not get any ideas, either.

    It would be less creepy and more efficient to just hire the controller human to come do shit at your house. Get fucked long-haired Elon.
