Have you seen the recent “We Robot” YouTube interview with the newly debuted Tesla androids? IF they are to be believed and are not just iRobot ripoffs with Little People inside they show unusual dexterity and have much nicer and less homicidal tendencies than Will Smith’s mechanoid counterparts. 

Elon Musk the weird (and probably on the spectrum) genius has somehow managed to create a remarkably likable even socially adept android using high speed AI algorithms that he claims “for under 20k” not only can serve us cocktails, babysit our children and cut the grass but also shmooze with humans in real time by determining and then utilizing Vonnegut’s “mutual but meaningless” social connections (grandfalloon) to increase their owners comfort and trust, ie. “You a Hoosier? That’s amazing i lived in Grand Rapids for 14 years!”

Of course, my twisted Captain Cliff mind immediately imagined a future Larry David episode in which all of Larry‘s LA friends have Tesla service robots that they absolutely adore while only Larry’s service robot hates his guts and, like Siri, consistently refuses to cooperate. Picture Larry being served Mocha Joe coffee by his pronoun identifying robot now wearing a keffiyah and whispering in his ear, “Free Free Free Palestine!” Add in the greek chorus with Leon Black chiming in, “What the fuck Larry! Did you go and get one of those open box refurbished robots at Best Buy?You know that shit dont ever work out!” 

Epilogue: Ok , makes more sense. It figures. He may be a genius but he’s also a charlatan. Birds of a feather :  https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-robots-remotely-controlled-analyst
