Yes Mr. Musk.
From The New York Post, October 15:
The walking, talking Optimus robots that stole the show during Elon Musk’s splashy “Cybercab” event in Hollywood last week were operated in part through remote control by humans, according to a report.
The faceless, nearly six-foot-tall figures served fruity cocktails, danced to techno music and chit-chatted with guests.
Although Optimus bots were able to walk using artificial intelligence, many of their actions were controlled remotely by Tesla employees, sources told Bloomberg.
After the event on Thursday, guests took to social media to speculate over the bots’ so-called autonomous capabilities.
While Musk didn’t discuss the limits of the technology behind the bots during the event, the Optimus bots appeared to be forthcoming under questioning from guests.
In one video posted to X, a bartending bot at the event told a guest: “Today, I’m assisted by a human. I’m not yet fully autonomous.”
Tesla did not respond to requests for comment....
