AI experts pan Tesla’s humanoid robot reveal: ‘next level cringeworthy’

Why should I take that into account? This isn't school.

Meanwhile, Boston Dynamics bot is doing backflips, and Disney's superhero bot is doing stunts for it's movies / theme parks live.

Tesla bot can't even walk, but there are two robotics groups (Disney Theme parks and Boston Dynamics) who were ahead years ago.

If you wanna impress people who have been looking at bots for the last 10 years, you have to at least have the thing walk out on stage on its own feet.

Boston Dynamics simply has a different focus. They focus is not mass production of humanoid robots for everyday use. Their primary concern is not using their mass manufacture and self driving expertise to mass produce robots.

Tesla is expert in electronics and their robot is driven by electric actuators while Boston Dynamics seems to use a lot of hydraulics. Hydraulics are like better in some ways but also likely harder to mass produce.

Multiple companies working on these topics is a good thing in my opinion.

> Ph.D want to learn from others, not be the smartest person in the room.

If Tesla has the funding to heir people, do research and build many robots then what's the issue? You don't get people with experience and you don't get teams with experience unless you start building things.

I'm sure there are people who would like an opportunity to be in a leading position in such a project. Even when in theory there are other projects that are 'more advanced'.

Also, most other companies promise really mundane and uninteresting things. Sure, they deliver, but it’s still not much fun.

I don't expect entrepreneurs to be 100% successful in every venture and the things he has delivered on are pretty substantial.

Where when? Please show a source. I have followed Boring pretty closely and that was never claim.

> The cyber truck which is "just around the corner" ?

The Cyber truck is certainty delayed, no question, but that's not that crazy of a thing.

The have invested billions in the production facilitates for the product and there is every indication that this is product will be released.

If Tesla was not making progress at all this would be a major issue, but they are growing fast still. So they managed to grow the company even without the Cybertruck. That seems to be a good thing given the potential the company still has with that truck.

> /nderground highways made by the boring company other than a few demos to milk the last investors

Boring company is still in operation and has number of projects. Has any investor lost money? And Musk himself is the largest investor.

What investors have lost money in Musk companies? What investors has he dis-pointed. You seem to make an impassioned argument that investors are being milked dry by Musk. But who? Tesla and SpaceX certainty have made investors happy. Boring hasn't lost money from anything I have heard.

If there is one thing Musk's companies seem to have it is a combination of both velocity but also a willingness to go against the resulting momentum if it seems like that velocity is in the wrong direction.
