Elon Musk predicts that the total units of Optimus will far exceed the human population and Tesla's long term value will be mostly be due to it

Well I guess we now know how that Mars base is going to get built.

but like SciFi movies those thousands of robots will likely be continually building an empty base for thousands of years as I'm sure we will blow ourselves up before having the chance to get there.

It would be nice when they look and act more human. But there’s a long way to go yet.

There should be an armed variant of this.

I really want a totally human like robot that can do anything humans can do.

Soon there will be sexbots and human fetuses will be cultured in artificial or lab grown environment.

Good progress. I'm looking forward to the time I can get one that looks like a hot chick and behaves almost human. But they said it would take a long time for that to happen because of the cost. It might cost a few million dollars.

I definitely believe that it will happen at some point in the future, maybe 30-50 years from now? Everyone can have a companion robot and there will be no need for human members of the opposite sex. Everyone will be happier that way.

You still won't have any luck with the lady-bots, in case you're wondering.

jk.

Tesla bot job opening hints at progress toward production​

A Tesla bot job opening hints that the company is making steady progress toward production, which means Optimus is a little closer to becoming a common face at Tesla’s factories.

Tesla posted a job opening for a Proto Production Supervisor to manage and execute the company’s actuator prototype production line for the Optimus humanoid robot. The Proto Production Supervisor will work closely with Tesla’s manufacturing and design engineering teams. The person who fills the role will be responsible for providing direct feedback regarding the assembly and design of the actuators for the Tesla bot. Below are more of the Proto Production Supervisor’s responsibilities.

Tesla Bot Journal on X provided more context for the Proto Production Supervisor position.

“Production of prototypes will likely involve a low-volume line with [the] majority of the assembly being done manually. The goal is likely to iterate through multiple designs for each type of actuator and fine-tune the designs after subjecting them to both lab and real-world testing,” commented Tesla Bot Journal.

During the Q2 2023 earnings call, Elon Musk forecasted that the first Optimus outfitted with Tesla-designed or production candidate actuators could be integrated and working by November.

“The first Optimus that will have all of the Tesla-designed actuators, sort of production candidate actuators, integrated and working should be around November-ish,” the Tesla CEO said.

“And then, we’ll start ramping up after that. You know, in terms of when will it be able to do some useful things, like, we’ll first be trying this out in our own factories and just proving out its utility. I think we’ll be able to have it do something useful in our factories sometime next year,” Musk predicted.
