He read that in an Iain Banks novel. That guy has just completely lost touch with reality. But sure, let’s give him a trillion bucks. What could possibly go wrong.

In the Culture novels robots assigned to this task have super accelerated consciousness, beyond human cognitive capabilities and can basically harmlessly stop you with a force field if you do anything to attempt to harm another person. Can Elmo’s bots do any of that? Not even close.
I think the plan is that the team of human handlers that control the robot will step in and stop a felon from breaching their conditions.
The robot is just theatre to help prop up Tesla’s share price.
Elmo’s robots are barely able to walk
I’ve seen student projects that were more impressive than his shit, let alone (for example) the (honestly scary) Boston Dynamics bots
But the next model will do all that! Just one more data center! Trust me, bro!
fwiw, data centres aren’t a problem.
Techbros are the problem.
For example - water cooling has been used in data centres since the 70s, and more commonly in the last 15 years but always as a closed loop, the water just transports heat away to a heat exchanger then is cycled again.
Techbros - nah, we’ll just let the water capture the heat then dump it into sewer, taking in fresh water constantly.
But what if there were special circumstances?
For now they can close an oven door in 5 minutes top, with a remote operator from Pakistan.
Astounding! Definitely worth a gazillion billions. The shareholders decision finally makes sense.
