Have you seen the mass produced humanoids from China? They’re incredibly capable (again, save for hands which is a huge mechanical and software problem) and cheap.

But what do they do?

I’ve only ever seen them performing choreographed routines or running races.

I’ve yet to see one doing something useful, so if you know of an example, I’d love to see it.

One of the Tesla's factories is winding down car production in a plan to convert to producing humanoid robots.

I can buy China doing it, but not Tesla. They have a terrible track record of production, nothing even close to China's capability. In the past they've "developed" factories by taking huge government incentives and then basically doing nothing with them and pocketing the cash.

You need to recalibrate your bullshit sensor, because that statement from Tesla is clearly a farce.

The line between moonshot and scam is thin and elon is known for doing jumping jacks on it.

Is that because they're close to building robots or because Chinese EVs are eating their lunch and Tesla is flatlining?
