    At this point guys, I should have learned that 99% of people are incredibly stupid and don’t do research, and the other 1% does just enough research to get the gist, while not actually understanding it.

    Notice Boston dynamics didn’t show its robot actually walking because they don’t have that down properly yet it could stand but walking around is a whole different thing for them they changed from hydrologic the electric motors now they have to learn

    New Atlas seems calmer version of Atlas HD, a down to earth bot, meanwhile Optimus has glamour vibe to it, like a celebrity, sparkling bot

    someone upload ChatGPT to Atlas like they did Figure. That be a trip.

    I hope these robots will be affordable for households to purchase. As a small business owner it would be amazing to have an infinitely trainable and tireless worker that doesn’t need health insurance, take sick/vacation days, etc.

    We need to program these robots how to love each other. May humanity’s replacements be better than us. In the meanwhile, let’s watch them get it on.

    Boston Dynamics: over 30 years as one of the world’s premier robotics companies.
    Tesla: The company that couldn’t build a gas pedal that doesn’t try to kill you.

    Enough said.

    Old Atlas is still 1000x better than Tesla robot whatever Tesla is calling their CGI nowadays! This comparison is an insult to even the first generation of Atlas robot!

    The thing I don’t understand is that Tesla’s bot reminds me a lot of Honda’s Asimo… from 20 years ago. Boston Dynamics bot actually feels like a real step forward in robotics.

    Wait until they reveal what they really have, they want us to think this is the best they’ve came up with so far, but they probably walk among us, keep in mind Boston Dynamics is Directly connected with DARPA. Endless funds & supplies for how long now??

    All I want is a robot butler that I pay for once off and won’t be capable of judging me in my own home. Can these companies do that? ????
