Elon Musk envisions a future where his Optimus robot becomes a personal companion, capable of babysitting kids, teaching them, and even performing tasks like factory work. He imagines a robot that can learn from videos and execute tasks on its own, even playing the piano. With a promised “radical” increase in autonomy, Musk predicts that Optimus will be able to understand and respond to voice commands, making it a reliable and trustworthy companion. While the robot’s current capabilities fall short of its competitors, Musk’s ambitious goals suggest a future where humanoid robots like Optimus become an integral part of daily life, potentially outnumbering humans and achieving a market cap of $25 trillion.

      Sure thing, but this community’s purpose is to record developments in AI companionship, regardless of who’s behind them. The Optimus robots have significant relevance and implications for this field.

        Yeah, no doubt. But we can certainly link to an article that doesn’t feature Musk as the tech messiah.
