Tesla has unveiled “Optimus Gen 2”, a new generation of its humanoid robot that should be able to take over repetitive tasks from humans.
Optimus, also known as Tesla Bot, has not been taken seriously by many outside of the more hardcore Tesla fans, and for good reason.
When it was first announced, it seemed to be a half-baked idea from CEO Elon Musk with a dancer disguised as a robot for visual aid. It also didn’t help that the demo at Tesla AI Day last year was less than impressive.
At the time, Tesla had a very early prototype that didn’t look like much. It was barely able to walk around and wave at the crowd. That was about it.

Let me know when they get to Optimus Prime. That better be a Cybertruck that transforms into a humanoid robot.

Tesla has unveiled “Optimus Gen 2”, a new generation of its humanoid robot that should be able to take over repetitive tasks from humans. So we can elect them to public office? Grifting and lying are repetitive tasks.

Guaranteed to flip burgers 24/7 just right and never ask for a raise. No pay. No benefits.
Will trigger wokesters. The $18 Big Mac will still be $18. These things are expensive.
