Thr question is can that thing jack me off and can it look much less creepy?
Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of teledildonics. Because yes, you can actually wank with open source, not just about it! A good library for your toys https://buttplug.io/ and a prototype I did for it https://twitter-archive.benetou.fr/utopiah/status/1280079465847160832/ activating a toy from within a VR experience.
This is why I know Elon won’t get that ridiculous bonus. He has to sell a million of these robots.
This is something that can happen with an autonomous robot if it was trained via imitation learning, which is one of the common ways of doing things when using transformers, and transformers are in vogue right now.
But knowing how tech demonstrations usually work, it’s much more likely that this is actually just a robot being remote controlled by another human.
Yeah, Elon’s tech demos are usually remote controlled
Why it look like whoever was controlling it just took their headset off? User takes viser off robot falls from lack of user controls? Tell me this was not actually just another mechanical turk.
It was AI – Actually Indians
Anonymous Indians since we’ve never met them
Well at least it’s not Turk?
i read that omg seems its always just a room full of exploited humans.
The most recent Defunctland video made me believe we might actually see full autonomous robots performing pretty rudimentary tasks while looking humanoid in the relatively near future. This uh… Isn’t that.
Best we can do send a live video feed from a camera on the robot and have someone in India control the robot.
It’s like having a robot, you just have to accept that someone is seeing everything you do in your home!
They should have brought Putin’s blanket of shame
The Indian operator just finished his shift
He meant AI as in Affordable Indians

I was gonna post a joke but nothing will top this lol
My optimist: surely Musk will not be able to get away with being caught in this obvious lie.
My realist: he’s gonna get away with it again.
Remember those Tesla solar roof tiles? Fake. Made by a prop company in LA.
Tesla solar still exists, but they just install typical panels, because PUTTING SOLAR TILES IN THE SHADY ROOF SIDE WAS STUPID.I’ve seen a local installation of the tiles. I asked the contractor all about them as they went in. They are real.
Are you sure? I remember seeing other legitimate roofing companies selling solar roof tiles too. I think I even remember watching an installation video. They weren’t rigid tiles, they were flexible and nailed down similarly to shingles.
While I really don’t want to defend that flop, they didn’t. Their goal was to create identical tiles so the roof looked consistent but only some would be the more expensive solar tiles
Yeah but they delivered fuck all.
I know theyre banned in my town, fire marshal and electrical inspector said fuck that.
Theres actually a guy who has them on his roof. Hes not allowed to turn the system on, even islanded to make power, and he eats a decent yearly fine just for having them on his roof, which is deemed a hazard by the fire marshal, should he have a fire.
The optimistic take is that no one is that stupid.
The realistic take is that musk fanboys will claim that the robot is so advanced, that it thinks it’s alive and mimics someone taking his headset off, because it has seen it.
Sadly it’s not even limited to fanboys, just the completely oblivious. I was kinda shocked recently to explain to a work friend how idiotic musk is with receipts. He was perplexed, “… But he’s that smart tech billionaire, right?” Just taking the world at face value.
Just taking the world at face value.
I remember coming into my actualization in my late 20s and making the horrific realization that the vast majority of people never go through that.
I’m sure we’ll see, “the AI was trained on human operator recordings - which unfortunately included headset removal actions, Tesla is now working to filter that from the model”.
The operator typically goes straight to sleep after removing his helmet as it’s a very taxing job. Nothing unusual.
They’re actually shot in the head when their shift is over and they remove the headset - to prevent leaks of Optimus being a charade.
If we wanted to to do that we’d say it wasn’t taking headphones off, it was throwing up its arms in panic that it was having a stroke. See the immediate collapse
Be funnier if the robot ripped its own head off.
I kinda clicked into here expecting that outcome
Robocop 2 is a hell of a movie.
Precisely the scene I thought of too.
He doesn’t shoot them off, he tears them off.
Upside: Service workers can now work from home
Reality: Prisoners can and will be required to work as service workers from their prison cells.
It’s called capitalist innovation, sweaty
There is no need for name calling. It’s a glandular problem you monster.
I, for one, can’t wait for the inevitable robot murder committed vicariously via a murderer controlling a robot from their cell.
With 24h surveillance prisons are not needed, just the mandatory work.
Oh no. There could be a whole revolution in sentencing people to house arrest work programs. Just think of the cost savings of making inmates pay for their own housing, and the surveillance potential to keep the neighbors “safe.”
ah god damnit that’s fucking bleak and i know you’re right…
Well shit….
What is this from?
It’s a scene from 1990’s RoboCop 2.
Oh sh— I gotta check that out.
There was a RoboCop 2!?
Must’ve been so bad that I blanked it out of my memory.edit: Nevermind lol. I’ll check it out, thanks.
No, RoboCop 2 is alright. RoboCop is probably my favorite movie. RoboCop 2 is good, not as deep, not as gratuitous, nor perfectly campy as the first but good enough for a watch. 3 is not, don’t waste your time… Even Peter Weller didn’t come back.
The remake totally missed the mark; had some interesting ideas and callbacks to the originated but didn’t know how to capture the tone and thought of the original and took itself too seriously.The new game is supposed to be good. It’s been patiently waiting on my PS5.
You guys talking about RoboCop: Rogue City (the one that’s already on PC)?
If so, don’t get too excited. The game is mostly a mindless shoot-em-up. I was bored in under an hour.
I personally like 2 better, but you’re spot on. I would say the game on PS5 is the true RoboCop 3 lol.
I also love that the original is a perfect chiachism: a palindrome of a film, every scene at the start as a mirror at the end.
Robocop 2 is the superior movie IMO. The story, action, basically everything is improved. Definitely check it out if you’re a fan of the first one.
I don’t quite agree, RoboCop 2 lacked some of the depth of the original in my opinion and come on: can you really beat Ronny Cox and Kurtwood Smith as the villainous duo? 😉
Having said that, RoboCop 2 is definitely still worth watching!
I will agree the villains in Robocop were better. It’s been such a long time since I watched but I remember just enjoying the nuke addiction the whole city had lol. Plus the main villain was a nuked out junkie in a massive mech suit. My heart was full lmao. Both are definitely worth watching though! Great movies!
I always found it hilarious that the villain in Robocop 2 is actually called Robocop 2.

What I thought of immediately.
Excellent.
I came here expecting to post it myself, delighted to not have to put in the effort.
Kind of what I hoped happened, without the corpse. Could have been cool to see it rip its head off.

Elon Musk once again proving that he’s more of a Justin Hammer than a Tony Stark (who was already a problematic figure, but at least had talent and SOME sense of right and wrong)
Elon Musk was in Iron Man 2 because he was the closest thing to Tony Stark. And then Lex Luthor looked and sounded like Elon thinks he does, because he’s the closest thing to Lex Luthor.
Problematic? He was a Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist and the Hero that saved the world!
Remember cyberguy? I like the energy.
With his delicate all these robots move it’s nice to see one throwing some weight around. And it’s holding up really well, you’d assume a connection would come loose after the first swing.
Trial and
ERROR!!!amirite
Everything about Elon Musk is a scam.
2025 version of the mechanical turk
Indeed, a case for Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a service that is shamelessly and deliberately named after its historical model. The principle has not changed after all this time: poorly paid people do the work to make it look as if machines could perform the task - as if it were an unprecedented technological breakthrough, as if it were some kind of magic.
It is a very popular thing among all the companies that claim that “artificial intelligence” was the future.
Edit: However, this does not appear to be a demonstration of autonomous technology.
Edit edit: Apparently, this was actually intended as a demonstration of autonomous technology - any source other than Reddit would be more credible.
They’ve already demonstrated time and again that these robots only exist so the rich can have slaves without actually having to see or interact with the slaves. They even had their robot strength nerfed so that there could be no uprising.
I thought Mturk was primarily used for labeling data for ML models, i.e., “here’s data. Look at it and give it a label according to our specifications”. Do they have a component of Mturk for piloting devices?
It existed before that use case was prominent. Basically it was for whatever trivial for people but hard for machines task you could have people do over the Internet.
I can’t answer that competently, but I can well imagine it, because there is demand for it.
Mecha Türk intensifies
