The Tesla Optimus Robot Scam

Earlier this month Tesla ran an amazing demonstration of its Optimus robots. They danced, they played games, they poured drinks.

It was deeply cool stuff and wow’d those attending.

For the past few years now there has been a regular Tesla tannoy announcing that they are turning to AI/Robotics as their next big thing, and so every October they have run an AI Day. This year it was called “We Robot”.

Here are a few samples of what happened…

Investors and others invited to the event were very excited by all this.

There is however one little flaw here, things are not as they appear to be.

These are not wholly independent machines using AI, it was all an illusion. Each Optimus was human controlled.
