Great overview as always. Super impressive vids, if a tad scary. Makes me wish I'd gone into robotics though. Must be super cool getting to work on such.
Thanks, Nathan! It seems like every time I turn my head, I'm blown away by another piece of paradigm shifting technology. It's hard to keep up with the vast amount of progress. However, what is going on with robotics, like you mentioned, is both fascinating and startling.
Musk does talk a big game, but historically, he or maybe more accurately the companies he is affiliated with, have a strong track record for execution. I think that many of these spaces will have significant advantages for early adopters.
Put me in the skeptical corner. Sorting blue and yellow blocks is not exactly a great achievement. Far more useful automated/robotic systems are in place already on mass-production lines in the automobile industry. In my opinion, the Tesla project merely exploits the natural attraction of the human-shaped structure of the Optimum, but offering what is ultimately nothing more than an expensive toy.

The real question, would you buy one?
I'll wait for the Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 to release first 😅

Yeah!
It's Musk, so grain of salt with his statements I guess, but he's certainly got the power to pull it off.
