Emitting slogans like “the machine that makes the machine”
I was under the impression that Tesla is really good at marketing and slogans and general hype building. They once did a tech demo event with a “robot” that was a guy in a robot costume. I think Tesla are more interested in looking impressive than in actually solving the tricky problems.
What tricky problems here do you think they’re ignoring?
I think Tesla are more interested in looking impressive than in actually solving the tricky problems.
I can’t really disagree with this as phrased, but they’re so interested in looking impressive that the phrasing doesn’t really imply a lack of a high interest in solving tricky problems. It’s also quite difficult for them to look impressive without actually solving tricky problems, given how easy it is to measure their outputs.
Well one of the things they did was have a “Robot” that was actually just a human in a robot costume. That’s something that looks impressive if you don’t realize what’s happening, but avoids 100% of the tricky problems.
More recently, their robots have been teleoperated. Which is still avoiding a lot of the trickier problems with AI operation.
Tesla has a strong track record of making predictions/promises that they couldn’t keep. They have been promising full self driving next year for a while. Cybertruck is mostly intended to look cool, and is otherwise pretty mediocre as an electric vehicle.
