Tesla Bot vs Boston Dynamics Atlas! (Watch their reveals)

Tesla just announced its first humanoid robot, which it's calling Tesla Bot. Boston Dynamics has been working on its own humanoid robot for more than 10 years. Watch how both bots compare.

Agreed. We have videos of Boston robots doing backflips and jumping around without any harnesses. Elon shows us a picture and had a weird doomsday doubt about this product coz he’s weird like that… we don’t get to see what it’s mobility actually is, or what kind of tasks it can do or how good it is at navigating or balancing or anything practical or useful or interesting… it’s kinda a joke to compare these two lol

Elon’s whole marketing and planning for Tesla is “just trust me bro”. Tesla is super overvalued as a company and a stock. Most of the products it pitches are nonsensical or secretly super inefficient/ineffective. Most of Tesla’s plans are about pitching some really stupid and “futuristic” idea to the public and market investors that have no idea what they are doing, and then having engineers behind the scenes try to walk back from the fund idea to something that even remotely resembles “functional”.

When that video got made that was the reaction of a lot of people that watched it. I have never understood that reaction. It was a demonstration of the ability of the robot to deal with situations. How can you show the robot can deal with it if you don't put it through it? In addition, that robot does not have a conscious mind. It doesn't remember anything, it doesn't know anything, it doesn't think about anything. The computer brain that it has is only capable of following the instructions that are programmed into it. And no matter what anyone else wants to think, that robot was not abused. It cannot be abused. Everyone who has that feeling is assigning human traits to a machine. This is not something new, as we have been doing this with various machines over the years. The greatest example is our cars. We give them names and we treat them as though they're human. I think it's time people started getting over themselves and started accepting things for what they are instead of making them be something they are not.
