What the fuck do you mean "autonomously"?

Like nobody gave it instructions, but its putting cars together anyway?

The article quoted the tweet as saying, "Deployed two Optimus bots performing tasks in the factory autonomously.”

That could mean assembling cars, or maybe standing in one spot and "don't get in the way".

I'll believe this when I see it.

A task could also be, carrying a box from point A to point B. Walk back, repeat.

It may do the job of a simple conveyor belt but actually, it's a multimillion-dollar AI-powered, um, robot,

So let’s just get the standard questions out of the way. As an Optimus humanoid, what kind of value do you see bringing our company?
