Oh please, all the robots need is a light intensity sensor, some simple targeting, and a gun actuator, and they can do “policing” even more effectively than ICE. Maybe a speaker to play a token warning message before firing. You know something like “HALT! Show your identity papers, you have 10 seconds to comply, 9, 8, 7”
Movement comes later, once all the immigrants have figured out where the robots are planted.
I don’t disagree, but have you seen what a bulldozer goes for? Guns are expensive, but a dirt cheap cobot arm with a 9mm and extended mag, will be a tenth or less.
Musk is well-known for bringing a project to a close way late and way over-budget. He’s the king of overpromising and undelivering. After a couple years of “next quarter, I promise!” they’ll be wishing they’d bought the bulldozer.
You’re not crazy, just slightly panicked.
They won’t be in the streets within a year.
It will certainly take at least TWO years to get there !
Please, lets all remain reasonable.
BD is bullshit. Cute videos of programmed dancing is not a labor force to reliably do work.
These videos are all the same -never actually working, and why the fuck would you make a robot a biped with only two arms? Is the point to increase productivity or look like cheap humans?
BD is far from bullshit. I used to work across the street from them and saw them testing robots countless times in the parking lot and surrounding area. They were also nice enough to give me & a bunch of coworkers a tour of their labs. It’s pretty darned impressive what they’ve achieved in 3 decades of research. This recent news story shows a lot of the capabilities of their current generation Atlas robot.
Damn. It’s the end then. That can only mean the robots are ready for the streets. Literally, THE STREETS.
Think about it. He’s in the government (non-elected) and they are deploying ICE agents everywhere.
The robots will 100% be seen standing at street corners “keeping the peace” within a year.
Omfg am I crazy, or is this realistic? Please just tell me I’m wrong and there’s no chance.
You’re not crazy, but it won’t be Elon who does it. The Tesla robots are nowhere near ready for production. This is vaporware, just like the Roadster.

Yeah, lol. All the robots need is any actual robotics, and then they’re good to go!
A bulldozer with a brick on the pedal can do “policing” more effectively than ICE. That’s not much of a flex.

With all due respect, you’re crazy. They can’t even scoop popcorn.

Drop your weapons!
Family looks confused holding ice cream cones
You have 20 seconds to comply!
I would worry but this is muskrat the ketamine king. He’s gonna fuck it up.

Also, I think Hyundai/Boston Dynamics will get there first :

Because that way, humans can teach them gestures. Not saying this is a good thing. EDIT : removed a typo
They literally don’t even work.
Yet
They never will.
Just in time to “defend” the “results” of the 2028 election.

You are wrong. Not entirely wrong, just slightly.
Good luck!
