"However, going by the 52-second clip, the carmaker has a long way to go until it can successfully have AI-powered bipedal robots replace human jobs. Is this really what will make up a whopping 80 percent of Tesla's value, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised in a tweet earlier this week? In an apparent effort to shift the company's priorities from slumping car sales, the mercurial entrepreneur has doubled down on AI and its humanoid robot in an apparent effort to stop investors from running for the hills. But Benioff's latest demo leaves a lot to be desired, suggesting the company is still a long way out from realizing Musk's goal of having the robot catapult Tesla's market value to a dubiously high $25 trillion, let alone complete the most basic of human tasks."
"After the pair talked over each other for a bit, Optimus finally lurched into action, awkwardly waddling down the aisle of a nondescript office environment. "I think we need to give it a bit more room," Musk could be heard saying off-camera. "Right now, it's kind of paranoid about space." "It'll be able to walk a lot faster, too," he added, in an apparent attempt to reassure Benioff as the robot slowly lumbered down the carpeted hallway."
Marc Benioff announced replacing 4,000 employees with AI and posted a video of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot, calling it a "productivity game-changer." The 52-second clip showed the robot unable to provide real-time information, hesitating in speech, and awkwardly waddling down an office aisle. Elon Musk noted the robot's spatial sensitivity and said walking speed would improve, while also promising aggressive production targets. Musk has claimed Optimus could represent a large share of Tesla's value and drive enormous market gains. The demo exposed significant limitations and cast doubt on near-term job replacement claims.
