Idk did you see the super robot Musk came out with last week? It's basically a PC strapped to a human form made up of actuators and could barely walk. Also the Tesla AI cars that have been on the brink of release for five years still aren't working. Somethings AI can do really well if it's confined in training on a particular subject, like creating art or writing a paper. Otherwise I don't believe we have to proper hardware to create an AI we need to fear just yet.

What cars on the brink of release are you talking about? Cybertruck?

I think it's safe to say that Tesla Autopilot definitely "works" but to what extent and how effeciently is certainly debatable. It's absolutely amazing what they have achieved considering automomous driving is a task so ridiculously difficult that most people still don't realise the scale of it.

I think it's the fact that Musk has been promising fully autonomous driving every year since 2016. Not like 3-5 years away, every year he says this is gonna be the year. I'm not knocking the stuff they've actually done, but Musk's mouth frequently writes checks his body can't cash.

When Musk makes a claim, pay attention to the time horizon. If it's something that can be fully delivered in under 6 months, then they can probably do it. If it's something where the end product will take longer than that, take his prognostications with a huge grain of salt.

AGI has hardly anything to do with walking robots

You've got to be kidding. A robot that has to do more than just walk has everything to do with AGI. And a robot that only can walk is a useless gimmick.

I think what the person you are replying to meant was that AGI can develop and exist independantly of robots, let alone ones that can walk.

Tesla AI day was a recruiting event. They had 8 months to work on that robot. I see this improving quickly this decade, and they have a huge software lead with Tesla Vision. It will actually be affordable later this decade, unlike any of the competition,
