Is anything hard except the hand from a manipulation point of view?
Or once you've solved the hand, are you good?
One intuition you could have for when we get this robotic stuff is that it takes quite a few years to go from the compelling demo to actually being able to use in the real world.
So 10 years ago, you had really compelling demos of self-driving, but only now we have Robotaxi and Waymo and all these services scaling up.
Doesn't this, shouldn't this make one pessimistic on say household robots, because we don't even quite have the compelling demos yet of say the really advanced hand.
Don't you need to merge XAI and Tesla then?
Because these things end up so...
Okay, but you can do a millionaire at Optimus 3.
And what will these first billion optimists, optimi, do?
What will their highest and best use be?
We're talking about Chinese manufacturing a bunch here.
And we're also talking about, you know, we've talked about some of the policies that are relevant, like you mentioned, the solar tariffs.
And you think they're a bad idea because, you know, we can't scale up solar in the US.
Right, and it can't without, like, good power sources.
Yeah.
Where I was going with this is,
If you were in charge, if you were setting all the policies, what else would you change?
So you've changed the solar tariffs as well.
So presumably some permitting reforms and stuff as well will be in there.
Yeah.
