X overlord Elon Musk recently shared a clip of Tesla's robot Optimus folding a shirt. While the mundane feat was supposedly a demonstration of the robot's refined capabilities, instead it confirmed to me that current robotics are a little far from world domination.
As the owner of 2023's messiest rebrand (among other accolades) Musk's droid demonstration was underwhelming at best. Eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice what appeared to be an engineer just off-screen controlling the robot's movements, suggesting that its groundbreaking autonomy was not as it seemed.
