Episode notes

We are in a world designed for humans now. Every object, from the door knob to the stairs is made for a human to be able to enteract with. I think another example would be data from the old star treck movies or t v shows. And i wonder, like, what level of adaptability is possible from these machine learning, computer vision enabled robots that test this building? How hard is it going to be to make them as good as a real human?

This week, Marques and Andrew discuss the new, slightly crazy announcement from Tesla: the Tesla Bot! Tesla Bot is a planned humanoid robot that will be able to help people with everyday, boring/repetitive tasks. But this announcement begs the question: is a humanoid robot really the best option? Marques and Andrew debate that conundrum, as well as read questions from the community Discord to see how people think Tesla Bot might help humanity in the future.
