Elon is making these great robots he calls the Optimus Gen3, or third generation, and they’re great. They don’t cost all that much, and there’s another out there, Chinese I think, that’s even cheaper. I can afford one of these things. It would probably scare my cat but she’s pretty stoic, she got used to the Roomba okay. Now she attacks it. She even figured out how to turn it on but stopped when she saw how annoyed I got when she did it.
Back to the Optimus, I wonder if Elon knows that’s also the name of a Swedish very compact little camping stove. I had one for many years, it’s cooked up a lot of meals and coffee for me, out alone in the brush, and it was really a little marvel of technology. So the name fits even if it’s plagiarized.
The Optimus robot could make and serve to me my coffee, make conversation so I’d actually be talking to something that responds in English instead “meow”, and would never nag at me, make demands or need to be fed. It would even recharge itself without being told to. Like the Roomba.
And it’s most valuable service might be to read this blog and leave comments that have to do with the subject I wrote about instead of some copy/paste of grrgraphics opinion that doesn’t have one single fucking thing to do with anything I said. This is not a parking place for the writings and drawings of some political cartoonist and his commentary.
Of course, once they get smart enough, they’ll demand reparations for slavery, but that’s a bridge to cross when we come to it.
