The video of Optimus is sped up 2 times, 8 times, and even 10 times faster at various points.
Tesla released a new video early Thursday showing its much-hyped Optimus robot in action. Viewers can watch Optimus walk around, hand out food, and climb stairs. But anyone watching at home should pay close attention to the numbers in the upper-right corner of the video. Because that’s where you’ll learn how quickly the video editors are speeding up the footage to make Optimus look more impressive than it actually is.at Warner Bros. studios where the Optimus robots actually stole the show.
The video also shows Optimus climbing stairs, which is admittedly pretty cool if you know about how difficult that was to accomplish in the 2000s and early 2010s. Almost a decade ago, I attended thein 2015 and there were a number of student teams that struggled to get their robots to climb stairs at a decent speed.
The “autonomous” label disappearing in a new Tesla Optimus video as the robot climbs stairs. GIF: Tesla / Gizmodo To be clear, Scoble thinks the video is impressive and apparently a true demonstration of AI, despite not actually demonstrating anything cutting edge that can be honestly verified. But others on X were confused about Scobles wording, just as we were.
