        It’s a scene from 1990’s RoboCop 2.

      Kind of what I hoped happened, without the corpse. Could have been cool to see it rip its head off.

      Indeed, a case for Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a service that is shamelessly and deliberately named after its historical model. The principle has not changed after all this time: poorly paid people do the work to make it look as if machines could perform this task.

      It is a very popular thing among all the companies that claimed that “artificial intelligence” was the future.

        They’ve already demonstrated time and again that these robots only exist so the rich can have slaves without actually having to see or interact with the slaves.

        I thought Mturk was primarily used for labeling data for ML models, i.e., “here’s data. Look at it and give it a label according to our specifications”. Do they have a component of Mturk for piloting devices?

      With his delicate all these robots move it’s nice to see one throwing some weight around. And it’s holding up really well, you’d assume a connection would come loose after the first swing.

      Elon Musk was in Iron Man 2 because he was the closest thing to Tony Stark. And then Lex Luthor looked and sounded like Elon thinks he does, because he’s the closest thing to Lex Luthor.

    My optimist: surely Musk will not be able to get away with being caught in this obvious lie.

    My realist: he’s gonna get away with it again.

    • FatVegan@leminal.space ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The optimistic take is that no one is that stupid.

      The realistic take is that musk fanboys will claim that the robot is so advanced, that it thinks it’s alive and mimics someone taking his headset off, because it has seen it.

      source
      • pulsewidth@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I’m sure we’ll see, “the AI was trained on human operator recordings - which unfortunately included headset removal actions, Tesla is now working to filter that from the model”.

        Sadly it’s not even limited to fanboys, just the completely oblivious. I was kinda shocked recently to explain to a work friend how idiotic musk is with receipts. He was perplexed, “… But he’s that smart tech billionaire, right?” Just taking the world at face value.

        If we wanted to to do that we’d say it wasn’t taking headphones off, it was throwing up its arms in panic that it was having a stroke. See the immediate collapse

      Remember those Tesla solar roof tiles? Fake. Made by a prop company in LA.
      Tesla solar still exists, but they just install typical panels, because PUTTING SOLAR TILES IN THE SHADY ROOF SIDE WAS STUPID.

      source
      • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        While I really don’t want to defend that flop, they didn’t. Their goal was to create identical tiles so the roof looked consistent but only some would be the more expensive solar tiles

        Are you sure? I remember seeing other legitimate roofing companies selling solar roof tiles too. I think I even remember watching an installation video. They weren’t rigid tiles, they were flexible and nailed down similarly to shingles.

      handing out water is actually a great challenge because it requires sensitivity (to apply just the right amount of grip pressure)

      so it’s a great way to demonstrate sensitivity of the machine.

    This is something that can happen with an autonomous robot if it was trained via imitation learning, which is one of the common ways of doing things when using transformers, and transformers are in vogue right now.

    But knowing how tech demonstrations usually work, it’s much more likely that this is actually just a robot being remote controlled by another human.

    • Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To make you feel better, this was the remote operator, that makes the robot appear autonomous, removing their headset before handing control off to someone else to keep the lie going.
