Elon Musk hilariously explains why Optimus has to learn like a toddler, by playing, making mistakes and getting better over time 😂 “In order for Optimus to get the training data we need, we actually need to make a lot of Optimi. So we need to make, I think, on the order of 10,000 or 20,000 bots and then have them do self-play. We're building up an Optimus academy where Optimus can practice doing a very wide range of tasks And then we can use that data in a flywheel to make it better and better at these various tasks, a big difference with Optimus versus the cars Is we don't have this vast fleet of cars from which we can gather training data. So with Optimus, we have to bootstrap it by making the robots and having them do self-play, which is really how a human learns to navigate the world You can see this when you have a toddler and they grow up and they initially are wobbly and they don't know how to do things, and eventually they, they learn to wipe their own ass, which is a big milestone, because anyone who's had kids knows And then they learn to read and do all sorts of things and be able to do these things. And they learn this by playing And we actually need Optimus to play at scale in order to have it be really good at tasks in the real world”

Elon Musk: Neuralink's Blindsight vision implant is coming soon "Even if somebody's completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex" The first version will offer low-resolution vision, but the long-term goal goes much further: "You would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths. You could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation"
