@65dBnoise It's called cheap labor. I remember people laughing about the idea of burger bots replacing workers at fast food joints, but that is a reality now.

Elon’s goal is to build a cheap robot that can replace human factory workers. It's that simple.

Companies would pay for this & while it would not usher in a utopia, it would increase unemployment (at least in the short term).

@darnell
Yeah, that's quite simple an idea for anyone willing to buy it.
Musk though is a smart guy. His goal is not to build a cheap android he knows he will not build in his lifetime, but to sell hope for a SciFi future in exchange for hard currency now, by hyping lame fantasies to those who believe him.

The articles you link to are just hype; no hard numbers at all. Machines (now called robots) have been in use in industry for centuries. Android AGI robots have not. Nor will they be soon.
