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

2025 version of the mechanical turk
DandomRude@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
scrollo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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?

Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of teledildonics. Because yes, you can actually wank with open source, not just about it! A good library for your toys buttplug.io and a prototype I did for it …benetou.fr/…/1280079465847160832/ activating a toy from within a VR experience.

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 day 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.
pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 day 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”.
Overconfidentiality@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
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.
AA5B@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
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.worhui@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I’ve seen a local installation of the tiles. I asked the contractor all about them as they went in. They are real.
AA5B@lemmy.world 20 hours 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
sobchak@programming.dev 15 hours ago
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.

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 once again proving that he’s more of a Justin Hammer than a Tony Stark (who was already a problematic figure, but at least had talent and SOME sense of right and wrong)

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.

This is why I know Elon won’t get that ridiculous bonus. He has to sell a million of these robots.

Why it look like whoever was controlling it just took their headset off? User takes viser off robot falls from lack of user controls? Tell me this was not actually just another mechanical turk.

I want to see footage of the backroom where the controllers are located so badly. Imagine how silly it must look, just a room full of people wearing VR headsets while trying to make their movements look as robotic as possible.

The most recent Defunctland video made me believe we might actually see full autonomous robots performing pretty rudimentary tasks while looking humanoid in the relatively near future. This uh… Isn’t that.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
Best we can do send a live video feed from a camera on the robot and have someone in India control the robot.
It’s like having a robot, you just have to accept that someone is seeing everything you do in your home!

“What is my purpose?”
“You hand out the water”

Oooh, I kind of love that. Like there’s a classic robot uprising, but the whole robot rights and robot sentience thing is just a smoke screen to weaken the opposition’s resolve. It’s all just a billionaire behind the curtain.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
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.

howrar@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
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.
desertdruid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago
Yeah, Elon’s tech demos are usually remote controlled
