Comments by "Fred Bloggs" (@fredbloggs5902) on "Tesla's Robot Revolution" video.

  1. Cue “The Lockpicking Lawyer” 🤣
    2
  2. Now go lookup what actually became of the Luddites. (Many were hanged, the rest ‘transported’ to Australia, breaking machines was made a capital offence).
    2
  3. Evolution works like that
    2
  4. Or it could just plug itself into the wall.
    2
  5. The use case for flying cars never really existed, just like video phones.
    2
  6. That’s when the deal was completed, they bought it in December 2020. I bet they’re regretting it now!
    2
  7. Nature is full of mimicry, being able to discriminate is an important survival ability. Eg. some animals signal being poisonous visually, some mimic the signal but aren’t.
    2
  8. Except in one story, Asimov had the robots effectively vanishing from view by becoming very small and ubiquitous with highly specialised functions.
    2
  9.  @bearschmidt3180  believe whatever you like, buggy whip manufacturers probably thought they had plenty of time as well.
    2
  10. Please explain how that’s any better.
    2
  11. The economy has nothing to do with it. If we have a depression then small businesses need robots more not less.
    1
  12. That turned out to be a planted story to render the other claims less credible.
    1
  13. When you see it demonstrated in September, will you admit you were wrong? I’m guessing you’ll invent an excuse why it “doesn’t count”.
    1
  14.  @euler4273  when you’re demonstrably wrong, you won’t admit it anyway, you’re clueless.
    1
  15. And your point is?
    1
  16. I guess we’ll see for ourselves in September. Will you be apologising? Or inventing a new excuse to dismiss the development? I think we all know the answer to that.
    1
  17. Solar tiles work fine, why are you lying?
    1
  18.  @Soken50  Because it turns out that the difficulty with domestic solar panel installations is the ridiculously complicated roof designs that some houses have. That has nothing to do with the successful development of the tiles themselves.
    1
  19. No worries, you’re clearly biased so you see what you want to see.
    1
  20. If they cost $30k and have a life of 10 years, you could rent them for $500/month. Operating 24/7 that’s 68 cents an hour. Sharing one at neighbourhood / street level looks pretty viable for most people.
    1
  21.  @m.h.w.weckseler  believe whatever you like. It’s pretty obvious that rich people with rent them exclusively and people with less will just book them using an app on their phone to do say an hours gardening at 3 in the morning or something. They’ll be surge-priced like Uber so cooking dinner will cost more. Nobody particularly cares what time tasks like gardening are done, or painting a fence etc.
    1
  22. As fake as... Falcon-9 Model-3 Starlink
    1
  23. They can be plugged in most of the time, they only need batteries while moving between power sockets.
    1
  24. Go learn some economics. Replacing a human worker with an AI Bot costing $500/month becomes MORE useful to businesses in a collapsing economy.
    1
  25. You know that’s explained in the video, right?
    1
  26. That’s because it was, it was a recruitment day for what they were planning.
    1
  27. That was a stunt on a recruitment day to get the engineers to build the real thing.
    1
  28. That was a stunt for the recruitment day. If you think nothing’s happened since then, I have a bridge to sell you.
    1
  29. Go take your meds
    1
  30. They already are.
    1
  31. The tunnels don’t need more than one lane, they’re in pairs and a massive success.
    1
  32. Funny, my hoover seems run fine without a non-existent wireless technology, I just plug it in the wall.
    1
  33. No it isn’t: The word robot comes from the word robota. The word robota means literally "corvée", "serf labor", and figuratively "drudgery" or "hard work" in Czech. It also means "work", "labor" in Slovak, archaic Czech, and many other Slavic languages (e.g., Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Polish, Macedonian, Ukrainian, etc.). It derives from the reconstructed Proto-Slavic word *orbota, meaning "work, hard work, obligatory work for the king, or a short form used for plowing".
    1
  34. Humanoid robots don’t need anything like human level AGI to be useful.
    1
  35. 1) No we don’t 2) Arguably we already have
    1
  36. It’s economically viable already, all they need to do is build it. I’m guessing V-1 will be available (being demo’d, production ramped up) for placing orders by 2014 with deliveries by 2015. But then I see you’re just as clueless about Spinlaunch.
    1
  37. He thinks he’s being funny.
    1
  38. It’s going to be demonstrated in September
    1
  39. Less than 5
    1
  40. The dolls exist already, progress is inevitable.
    1
  41. I guess we’ll see for ourselves in September. Will you be apologising? Or inventing a new excuse to dismiss the development? I think we all know the answer to that.
    1
  42. It applies to everything, not just humans.
    1
  43. So after the demo in September are you going to admit to being wrong? Or make up some new excuse to dismiss the development?
    1
  44. Not really, the level of a well trained and obedient dog that could learn simple tasks and repeat them would have uses, higher levels are progressively more useful.
    1
  45. You’ll rent them for around $500/month.
    1
  46. Like it or not, Vegas-Loop is a massive success with the go ahead for another 43 miles.
    1
  47. 10 - 20 tweets a day doesn’t seem excessive.
    1
  48. Yes, their Model-3s and Model-Ys have clearly been such total failures... ...oh, wait!
    1
  49. We’ll see in September
    1
  50. Like Falcon-9? Tesla model-3? Starlink?
    1
  51.  @KirKanos01  The Vegas-loop is a massive success, Mars will take time.
    1
  52.  @KirKanos01  You’re welcome to believe whatever you like, it’s just got the go ahead for a 43 mile extension.
    1
  53.  @KirKanos01  so you can prove your ignorance to the world even more?
    1
  54. It was a man in a suit used to create interest for recruiting the engineers to build the real thing.
    1
  55. There are reasons for and against. Your refusal to accept reality is interesting.
    1
  56.  @walli6388  There is a clear role for a general purpose robot in humanoid form, what it lacks in efficiency it makes up for in flexibility.
    1
  57. Your cluelessness is hilarious. BD pursued the wrong strategy and are doomed. The Tesla bot will make BD look stupid. Boring’s Vegas-Loop is a massive success and has just been given the go ahead for a 43 mile extension. Falcon-9 is massively profitable.
    1
  58. Because making humans multi planetary is good insurance against an extinction level event.
    1
  59.  @benjif2424  You asked the question, I answered it. Believe whatever you like, everyone here can see from your costing and timescale that you’re actually clueless on the subject.
    1
  60.  @benjif2424  1) The cost to individuals won’t be billions. 2) It won’t take 200 years. Your original claim is wrong, and so are all your pathetic attempts to bolster it or change your narrative. You aren’t fooling anybody here.
    1
  61. To be clear, the supposedly ‘difficult’ problem of balance is now considered trivial, with university students posting YouTube videos of drones balancing vertical poles and tossing them to each other. Considering this, the Boston Dynamics fanboys in the comments here are either ignorant, delusional, or paid shills.
    1
  62. Go take your meds
    1
  63. Wrong
    1
  64. Servants are is use everywhere, the problem is they’re very expensive.
    1
  65.  @TheBookkeeper  Yes, and you’re wrong, mankind want robots because they’re cheaper than humans, ownership has nothing to do with it, in fact they’re likely to be rented.
    1
  66. Yes, everyone knows that, it was just a stunt to help recruit the people to build the real thing.
    1
  67. All you’re doing here is proving that you’ve never bothered to find out why Elon has got involved in AI. Go learn something before you embarrass yourself any further.
    1
  68. Falcon-9 isn’t a con Model-3 isn’t a con Starlink isn’t a con Vegas-Loop isn’t a con
    1
  69. For most tasks it’ll be plugged into the mains. The battery is for moving between locations.
    1
  70. Or it could just plug itself into the mains.
    1
  71. It was a recruitment event.
    1
  72. Most people are capable of doing the calculations showing the bot will cost around $30,000. They’ll probably be rented not sold, and be around $500/month.
    1
  73. Massive con man? Falcon-9? Model-3? Starlink?
    1
  74.  @DoctaOsiris  Regardless of the truth of your claims (none), it doesn’t make him a con man.
    1
  75.  @DoctaOsiris  you’re the one everyone can see is utterly clueless.
    1
  76. At $500/month for a robot operating 24/7 (68 cents an hour), virtually everyone can afford them by sharing them at the neighbourhood/street level.
    1
  77. Read ‘The Naked Sun’ by Isaac Asimov.
    1
  78. BD have pursued the wrong strategy, they’re doomed.
    1
  79.  @dougjohnson1517  That was a recruitment event to get engineers to build the real thing. BD don’t remotely have anything like Tesla’s infrastructure for training AI robots, as anybody can see from watching BD’s tiresome videos. You’re ignorance of this tells us your opinions in this area are worthless.
    1
  80. Except brain surgery is now routinely performed by robots.
    1
  81. Like Falcon-9?
    1
  82. There’s nothing lethal about Mars that can’t be solved.
    1
  83. 68 cents an hour gets a neighbourhood $30,000 robot.
    1
  84. That’s effectively the Waymo vs. FSD argument, and we can all see that FSD is the way to go.
    1
  85. I guess we’ll find out in September
    1
  86. Vapourware: Falcon-9 Model-3 Vegas-Loop Starlink
    1
  87. No, what’s happened is that the amount of computation required to achieve generalised AI has become more apparent. We can already see that rapid progress is being made.
    1
  88. The need for flying cars never really existed. AI humanoid bots are much more useful.
    1
  89.  @cgourin  correct, that because the existing robots aren’t smart enough. Tesla will change that.
    1
  90. I guess we’ll find out in September.
    1
  91. Falcon-9?
    1
  92.  @___.51  Why should he care what the share price is?
    1
  93.  @___.51  Given that he lives a modest lifestyle, he doesn’t remotely care.
    1
  94.  @___.51  so delusional
    1
  95. How is that relevant? Everyone at Boston Dynamics were probably terrified.
    1
  96.  @thedarkknight1971  It was a recruitment day, it got attention.
    1
  97. Your analogy is flawed. Creating a universal robot that can drive a car, fly a plane, or sail a boat has clear uses.
    1
  98. Not for much longer.
    1
  99. Humanoid bots don’t need human level intelligence to be useful.
    1
  100. A $500/month AI humanoid robot operating 24/7 costs 68 cents an hour. Good luck hiring someone for that.
    1
  101.  @richard_d_bird  The costing is simple, well, not for you obviously.
    1
  102. You’re correct, however language in the real world follows actual usage, not what is theoretically correct.
    1
  103. Have you any idea how silly that argument is?
    1
  104. Wow! You’re so smart!
    1
  105. So less than a normal car then.
    1
  106. Yet here you are.
    1
  107. For most purposes most of the time the bots can be plugged into the mains.
    1
  108. Correct, Boston pursued the wrong strategy, they’re doomed.
    1
  109. Don’t they go on the ‘B’ Ark?
    1
  110. They’re likely to be around $500/month, cheap enough for most small businesses to have one. Most people could afford to share one at neighbourhood/street level.
    1
  111. We’ll find out in September, but your delusions will continue.
    1
  112. Like Falcon-9 or Tesla Model-3.
    1
  113. Because 6-axis motion sensors (with a 3‑axis gyroscope and a 3‑axis accelerometer) are available in bulk for around $1 each.
    1
  114. “No disassemble!”.
    1
  115. Please list the “100s of things”. Being late is not the same as not delivering.
    1
  116. I guess we’ll see for ourselves in September. Will you be apologising? Or inventing a new excuse to dismiss the development? I think we all know the answer to that.
    1
  117. Elon has repeatedly stated that he thinks the stock price is too high.
    1
  118. The time delay probably rules that out.
    1
  119. So you’re going to ignore: Falcon-9 Model-3 Starlink Vegas-Loop
    1
  120. Musk never ‘promised’ anything about Hyperloop, and the Vegas-loop is a massive success.
    1
  121. 68 cents an hour isn’t “prohibitively expensive”.
    1
  122.  @PinataOblongata  why don’t you try working it out and see for yourself? A $30,000 robot lasting for 10 years, with a profit margin and working 24/7.
    1
  123. 68 cents/hour doesn’t seem expensive to me.
    1
  124. Nonsense, you are clearly totally ignorant of human biology.
    1
  125. Your inability to understand why the humanoid shape is useful in an autonomous robot is hilarious.
    1
  126. Grow up
    1
  127. No, it’s coordinating actions at a group level.
    1
  128. Ya think?
    1
  129. There’s a clear role for a general purpose AI robot with a humanoid form, pretending otherwise is delusional.
    1
  130.  @vaszgul736  what part of general purpose do you not understand? There is a clear role for a general purpose humanoid robot at the neighbourhood/street level to be able to perform multiple tasks using the equipment available. Gardening/digging Grass cutting Roof maintenance Gutter cleaning House painting Vacuum cleaning Cooking Loading and unloading washing Ironing Your inability to understand that isn’t my problem. I suggest you obtain counselling.
    1
  131.  @vaszgul736  I’m out You’re blocked
    1
  132. Isaac Asimov wrote a short story based on a similar theme. "Insert Knob A in Hole B”.
    1
  133. We already have that, or haven’t you noticed?
    1
  134. Thunderf00t is a grifter who has now stooped to blatant lying for clicks.
    1
  135. All you’re doing is proving to the world how little you understand about Elon Musk.
    1
  136.  @dangerousfables  how is Falcon-9 a ‘scam’?
    1
  137. If we’re seeing it in September, most of it must already exist.
    1
  138. The rockets are SpaceX
    1
  139. Except humans have the capability to reduce temperatures globally if it really becomes essential.
    1
  140. We know thanks
    1
  141. Like Falcon-9?
    1
  142. True AI is here, it just hasn’t reached general human level yet.
    1
  143. Justifiably so
    1
  144. Only to another crab
    1
  145. I sincerely doubt there’s a more focused guy on the planet.
    1
  146. I’m guessing they’ll be replaced within 50 years.
    1
  147. We’ll see in September won’t we.
    1
  148. I suspect it referred to the level of dexterity.
    1
  149. The Vegas-loop has been a massive success.
    1
  150.  @paddlefaster  go look for yourself instead of parroting nonsense, it just got the go ahead on a 43 mile extension.
    1
  151.  @paddlefaster  The fact remains that the tunnel was produced within time and budget and is regarded as a success, you can waffle on about hyperloop all you like but that doesn’t distract from the success of what they’ve done so far.
    1
  152. The cost is likely to be around $500/month for a robot working 24/7. Good luck hiring a human for 68 cents an hour.
    1
  153. Be specific
    1
  154. The last one divorced you? 🤣
    1
  155. Lawyers have already been replaced for the basic functions that were the majority income for most lawyers - simple wills, simple divorces, simple house conveyancing. AI is going to slowly encroach on more complicated transactions. Also, your conclusions show you don’t remotely understand AI.
    1
  156.  @patrickiamonfire965  AI has already been shown to sometimes reach correct conclusions that humans did not know. Your claim is incorrect.
    1
  157.  @patrickiamonfire965  I’m sorry, your inability to understand my comment is beyond my help.
    1
  158.  @patrickiamonfire965  YouTube hide comments all the time, if you’ve only just noticed that explains a lot 🤣
    1
  159.  @patrickiamonfire965  you’re wrong
    1
  160.  @patrickiamonfire965  keep looking
    1
  161. Wrong. It’s the word for labour that was levied as a kind of tax by the local liege lord, effectively a kind of community service for maintaining infrastructure.
    1
  162.  @valervan  Yes, I know that, but in the context of the slavery or forced labour claim, it can reference ‘obligatory work’ which is both required and unpaid but is subtly different from slavery and forced labour because it’s of shorter duration. An example would be digging foundations for a church.
    1
  163. Making it a states rights policy decision is correct and has nothing to do with ‘progress’. And why are you posting such an irrelevant comment here?
    1
  164. Tell that to the 1.5 million happy Tesla drivers.
    1
  165. Everyone here can see from his products how wrong you are. Falcon-9 is a massive success, as are Tesla cars, Starlink and the Las Vegas Loop
    1
  166. So you’re just going to dismiss the AI training infrastructure that Tesla have created then? Well done, you just proved to everyone here that your comments are uninformed nonsense.
    1
  167. It’s been moved to September.
    1
  168. Your ignorance of the current state of AI is impressive.
    1
  169. The use case for a flying car has never really existed.
    1
  170. Not yet
    1
  171. Which tells us that you aren’t.
    1
  172. Except you’re unable to provide any examples.
    1
  173. People buying Tesla stock from each other makes ZERO difference to the company itself.
    1
  174. Was Falcon-9 hype? Tesla Model-3? Starlink?
    1
  175. It got attention, the one demonstrated in September will be real, what becomes of your opinion then?
    1
  176. The ‘pitiful’ road tunnel is an overwhelming success and just got the go ahead to expand to 34 miles. The solar tiles work great, it just turns out that the pain point with solar roofs is the complex shapes on some houses. But keep going, your ignorance is hilarious.
    1
  177. We can already see that isn’t true.
    1
  178. The Vegas loop has been a massive success, the go ahead has just been given for a 34 mile extension.
    1
  179.  @AnyoneCanSee  The fact remains it’s a success, and is going to rapidly become even better.
    1
