Thanks for watching this clip. Full podcast with Elon Musk and Lex Fridman is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/et6CeNBk2JfXk3U.html

I like that Elon is confident enough to endure an awkward silence to actually consider what the person asked

I like how people are pretending that these won’t primarily be used in the military. It’s all just “help grandma make some tea” lol

A robot could be a 24/7 assistant to disabled people. It would be life-changing.

Tesla-bot would be really useful for the disabled that are equipped with Neuralink, have them do a task only by thoughts!

I hope that when Tesla produces their “love” robot, that they continue to support Ludicrous mode.

I love how all conversations about teslabot somehow steer towards the question "Can you fuck it?"

New twist: Elon Musk is teslabot

Lex 100% wants a sex bot to live a more efficient life as a techno monk.

Love how Elon shut down for a few seconds to download the new data information for the Tesla Bot for the podcast, very nice of him!

Musk: Droid Mankind: Can we f!#$ it? Musk: Possibilities are endless.

Elon's "pauses" are so intense that I think my phone is buffering.

1) For companionship, one may not necessarily need an expensive humanoid robot to overcome loneliness. a scalable intelligent conversational software is already good enough. 2) Military: what if we arm/weaponize Tesla Bot?

Does that code or can it work on laptop i will automate all my work with CV

the idea of “adopting” your future robot companion as an infantile brain and “teaching” it to grow and complement your personality/needs by example over time has me a lot less freaked out about bringing our future robot overlords into our homes, Tamagotchi on steroids here we come 🤖 great interview as always Lex, Elon shouting out UBI and all the AI Teslabot talk has me eagerly awaiting that Andrew Yang interview that has to be coming soon, right? 🙏🧢

Everybody please be kind to your robots and don't refer to them as your pets or you're they're owner. When the artificial super intelligent consciousness emerges we don't want it to be mad at us

The hopeful stage of this dystopia is actually very heartwarming

Having the bots for household use is one of the most exciting prospects of my life. I know initially training it to each home would be a big task. Having to show it every item in the home, telling it where item goes, showing it how each chore in each home is done etc it'd take the robot weeks to learn its unique home and items but it'd be sooooo worth it. The day I watch my bot walking clean laundry to each room and putting it away, cleaning my floors, picking up items and putting them away etc would be one of the most exciting days of my life. From the day it arrived and I taught it the first thing my life would get easier each day as it learned more and more. I would 100% volunteer to test one on my house and see what unexpected challenges arose, what worked well, how fast it could learn, how long it took my dogs to accept it, etc it'd be so exciting for me I'd be ecstatic and constantly interested in everything it did. It'd be like having a toddler for a few weeks lol but only needing 1 show and tell lesson on everything means it'd grow up pretty fast into an amazing helper!!

Hahahahah I love Elons pauses for thought. So refreshing. I sometimes check to see if my audio went down.

"optimus sub prime" I love this guy.

What I gathered from this is that the only reason he is building the Tesla bot, the thing that gave him the inspiration to do so, is to replace Amazon workers. I imagine he wants to go to Bezos one day and say, "oh yeah, I solved your biggest problem for you, nbd"

In what year does skynet buy out tesla.

I think the mistakes a household bot would make would be hilarious, items in bizarre places, accidental messes sometimes as it kept at a task while some outside the box issue was causing issues etc thatd be a huge part of the fun of a new bot would be the oops as much as the triumphs

Elon, please. Make waifubots real. You gotta.

the definition of work is doing something in which you would only do if u were paid. This is what distinguishes it from a career.

I would ask! Can the Tesla bot! Be programmed or just watch you at what you do and mimics what you do and use it’s own main frame to get more production out of work thinking on its own.

I’m starting to think Star Wars was a documentary

Can I grow or 3d print organs and have my Optimus on "surgeon mode" to install them ?

Lex, are you aware that this is a scene right out of Lucas' THX 1138? (story in the brave new world universe) where robots are essentially used to give humans companionship? Because they are void of emotions they will never replace the connection you can make with dogs, although I do believe we will be able to make strong connections with them. It just will never reach the level of man's best friend.

Lex, Your podcasts have made you the number one Podcaster of the year. You bring heart and soul to the the table and cause me as a viewer to have hope. Happy 2022!!!

Congrats on getting the opportunity to do such a long interview with him.

relevant, tactful and tactical questions, cohesive: deriving from the discussion, even the memes game was successful, funny+witty

Finally going to get my etiquette and protocol droid.

anyone have any idea what price a tesla bot would go for?

If we are in an evolutionary race to create and expand faster than we destroy, then the question is will these robot companions help more than hinder us in that purpose? Not only the best things they could be used for, but also the worst things, need to be accounted for.

Minute 3:21 Elon’s face reacting the the very important question host just made, Lmao

1:04 I had to check if my WiFi disconnected

Thank you for being a breath of fresh air! Great interviews are rare and Lex you do some! Robots are coming and I would feel better about Teslabots than ones made by Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos!

Imagine Optimus can "watch" videos of ur favorite movie character or actor and emulate them from deep learning.

I'm no Rocketman but I'm thinking with maintenance and updates it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to pay someone 13.50 to wash dishes.

really like the code name

I didnt see the tesla bot. I saw a dude in a suit making a funny dance.

I think Bots should never be used in regular life. Only put them out in war or where humans are in danger.

Imagine going to general atomics galleria and getting a personal Mr. Handy unit..

It’s time to interview Spike Jonze

Elon sporting that Kim Jong Un haircut...

Be sure to always be doing the right thing, and make sure everyone else is doing the right thing at all times. Those who have been doing that, then keep up the good work. Those who have not been doing that, start doing the right thing at all times. It will be required of everyone, and eventually everyone will be doing the right thing at all times, better to do that now, rather than later. Robots will help, but we must be sure that everyone is actually doing the right thing at all times, and the world is a place where everyone can succeed. It is far past time that that happens. I will see to it that it does happen. Compassion, peace, love, always.

I'm not sure how many of us are thinking this but... Those thinking pauses sure seem like an beta version of neuralink being used to parse out information and how to present it outwardly Would we be able to tell?

The Tesla Bot would need a Starlink connection.

Im dying to see one day a competitive scene where bots have a sports league. Where the ai can surpass our abilities, and nearly after we can get in that bot neurologically.

Optimus subprime is a great name, lmao

The amount of times Elon says "I haven't thought about that" is a little unsettling.

ROBOT PERSONALITY ? As a Navy Radar electronics tech I can tell you I’ve worked on 10-20 different SPS-10 radar systems on different ships; AND THEY EXACTLY THE SAME -But-COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ; however I would not call it Personality . .probably Mechanical Genetics if that is possible

those tesla bots are the spookiest looking thing ever tho

Lex and Elon aren’t a good representation of how the general public feels about robotics.

Garunteed that elon thinks this is a wonderful idea but governments of the world are surely going to ruin it with surveillance and added code/added behaviour

If you want robots to have an expansive personality that develops, then there needs to be reward and consequence systems built into its behavioral model.

When Elon froze I thought the video was loading 🤣🤣

Correction: for the rich, working will become optional (already is). The educated upper-middle class will take on jobs that serve to make life easier for the rich + laborious jobs at mega-corporations. The current middle class and lower class will live in slums because basic jobs will all be dominated by AI.

Can i wear a 3d headset at home and then control my Optimus while it goes to the store and pick out the best bunch of cilantro ?

i am sure you could program in for the humanoid models a level of forgetting things etc then it would be truly hard to tell the difference

So…. I’m trying to figure out why there is a freeze edit after he answers the question, that’s clearly not Elon pausing for that long

Elon doing a Dr Doom with the Doom bots

Indeed, “the possibilities are endless”, including mounting weaponry

this is really low brow stuff ; the sort of discussion you would get at a comic book convention.

8:55

That and home security.

A Tesla Hound would be awesome. A robot friend dog that could play with you and hangout. And if you take him places he can carry/pack stuff for you. Basically like a companion in Fallout.

*Bicentennial Man and I-Robot vibes intensify*

It would be so cool if in South Park it would turn out that Bezos is actually telepathic because he's using Neuralink

Tesla Bot will be designed to argue with the Tesla car.

As long as we don't get a Detroit Become Human situouation....I love it

How long until i can download my consciousness into my Optimus ?

Form should follow function in robotics. We don't necessarily neeeeed humanoid robots when just an arm would do. Legs aren't necessarily the best way to do most jobs. Heads don't serve much of a function if you're not human. Other than maybe nursing, I see no need to try to make bots look human.

Elon looks at astrobot as a sidepiece😂

Hardcore software work .

6:04 Love is the answer XD

First thing that came to my mind is the game 'Detroit become human'

I'm guessing this is the Lotus Elise Tesla Roadster equivalent of the humanoid robot whenever they reveal any sort of prototype this year (if they even stick to the schedule), it's going to suck, and anything remotely decent is going to take probably nearly a decade like how it took Tesla a decade to go from roadster to Model S. Unfortunately, unlike a bad electric car that looks sort of nice from the outside like the original Tesla Roadster, any human can tell when a bad robot performs badly especially when it's a humanoid one. This is going to be quite an engineering as well as marketing challenge for them.

How are we going to address Universal basic income? It's kind of convenient for the super rich. They make the robots which factories buy, and they get rich. However the onus of paying people for unemployment is on the government. They can either heavily tax the production of these robots, or can socialise the robot production. Any other ideas?

There’s not gonna be any tesla bot 😂😂😂

7:28 "That personality could evolved..." Robots after a couple of years of serving humans: "Kill all humans!"

Animatrix : The second Renaissance

Badger Industries KY

Starlink is the infrastructure for neuralink to have full coverage

When will this be ready? 30 years ?

They are describing ‘Her.’ Let’s go Spike Jonze

Musk repeatedly says this is his greatest fear. And now he is trying to make them himself 🤔

What I LOVE other than Caring more for Another than Self ! ?

I can't wait for the day that a company decides to combine OpenAI GPT and Boston Dynamics tech

In the future, abuse towards women will become much worse. I can imagine their being “girlfriend programs” for AI and people doing sick shit like when they cheat on them they can kill them, maybe it’s happened to them before and they want to fulfil their rage, and it will be legal. Gonna be some messed up people around.

Love is the answer....

They call it "Optimus Sub-Prime". The smartest entrepreneur is also a meme lord of the highest order.

So basically we have to androids talking about androids 😂❤ Amazing podcast by the way 🔥

How about “Mechanical-Genetics” Vs Personality

great

Lets get Nerolink pushing man, I'm over here slowly making my way to death an I want to be in my PC doing cool stuff forever. Thank you

I feel like I have heard the cript to science - fiction movie . I wouldn't want to have a partner in life who is not a human . The robot is just a robot . Ps : Nie jestem pasjonatką filmów tego typu , mówiąc szczerze .

so if the robots learning is based off of the human interaction and its human counterparts personality traits isnt that the same as a child being raised by a parent that has bad habits like drug abuse or they treat other humans as less than so then the robot would learn the bad habits and pick up on the concept of racial inequalities leaving us with a batch of bad robots? i think it would be hard to make a robot a companion or to have feelings based on their human interactions because humans have flaws and bad habits then the robot loses what makes itself unique or different and it will eventually begin to think it is human...or better than humans...if we keep robots in the category of tools rather than companions we can avoid the terminators taking over...
