Be afraid; very afraid.
Whether it's because of the company's innovative vehicle design or the antics of its Machiavellian founder and CEO, Elon Musk, you've probably heard of Tesla by now. And while the company may be most known for its cars, it's branching out... into robotics.
Yep, as if self-driving cars weren't dystopian enough, Musk is preparing to take things up a notch . At Tesla's annual shareholder's meeting, he gave us our first glimpse of Optimus, Tesla's upcoming humanoid robot, and it looks very, very creepy .Musk has only showed us the hands of the robot, in an unnerving image in which it's making a heart sign.
Initially, the robot is expected to be used in Tesla factories to take on some of the routine tasks currently carried out by staff, but could eventually get an AI brain so it can do other things. Musk has claimed that the robot will be"more valuable than the car long-term. It will turn the whole notion of the economy on its head".
Plenty of people are dubious about the actual existence of a Tesla robot ready for launch, however. Over on Twitter, one user tweeted,"I’ll bet he announces pre-orders for Tesla humanoid robot and that it gets delayed by 3+ years at least." Others just find the whole concept of the robot far too dystopian – and what will more and more people learningHumans need humans not AI NO THANKS. https://t.co/IMAK48xyYC pic.twitter.
