Maybe, but it would need a destruct button like on a key FOB.

If the robot can drive cars folks won’t need FSD Teslas.

While I no longer have a wife, I'd like one assuming it's got Grok integration, which would make sense logistically.

Well it would then have a wifey quality, you could tell it what you think and have it set to fact check everything on Grock you say and correct you

I fold my own laundry (wife does hers, I do mine) and I do 99% of the cooking, because I like to.

That being said I already told my wife to put $40K into the budget for and Optimus robot the minute they have one available that will fold clothes. If it can do the lawn and weeding, even better. But if all it does is fold and put clothes away it will be worth it for m.

WTH do you think a Tesla with FSD is, buddy?

Well, it won't fold your clothes and mow the yard....

Do you think they'll get automatic 9mm jubblies?

From the description of what they can do, I believe my name should be Optimus.

As far as mowing the lawn, we already have robots for that, and they are much cheaper.

Probably easier to get Optimus to mow your lawn than to get your teenage son to do so! Probably do a better job of it too.

I think I am going to buy one for my daughter, the one with the two cutest granddaughters in the world (stolen from JAllen). She puts all her attention and energy (the latter quite limited) into raising her girls to be Christians; and their love for us is something sent by God.

But our daughter can't keep the house tidy. It's a mess. Remember they've all been living with us for 6 months; it will take another 6 to recover.

So an Optimus to keep the place tidy, I'm sure it will teach the girls to put their books away; do the laundry, fold and put it away.

My daughter deserves this. I'm certain as certain can be that if I offered one to my wife she would say, "No, give it to Sarah."

Besides simple chores what else can they do? Can they change the oil in a car? Rotate the tires? Paint rooms? Change the pads on the swamp coolers? What about patrolling the house at night? A kill switch would be a requirement.

Wish granted...

My lawn being mowed by Gort, far too wet to put a tractor on it...

I wonder if you can teach it to shoot.

I think that would break one of the three laws....

Not unless I ordered it to shoot a human.

Last night I watched some Johnny Carson reruns from 1972 and there were Sears commercials featuring Kenmore dishwashers. I remember as a kid when we got our first dishwasher and helping my dad install it. Here we are ~54 years later talking about robots to clean the whole dang house and more!

Pretty amazing but I'll be waiting on Gen. 10 or so before getting excited about it. By then I'll probably need a nurse robot to help me around the house.

It would be a downer when it yelled "Oh my Elon" ...

Absolutely and more and faster.

Agriculture alone will consume almost all of their production for awhile, if they can replace manual picking.
