Well, interestingly, Sawyer Merritt on X is reporting that Tesla has a bunch of new job openings for their Optimus robot program. And Elon Musk was saying that the Optimus version three, which must be the version they're working on in the lab, has a new hand. That's an incredible piece of engineering.

So apparently I've heard Elon say this before that the Optimus robot hand has finally broken through to be like just super sensitive and good. And if you can't get the hand right, you'll never have a proper robot because apparently all the robot companies can make a robot that walks and you know lifts heavy objects but it's really hard according to Elon to get a hand. But they believe they have now achieved the sensitivity and the dexterity of a human hand.

So what Musk says is the new hand is an incredible piece of engineering and then he says we'll have a production intent prototype meaning they intend it to be production ready to show in February or March of this year 2026. So they'll be able to show you a prototype then. And then he says, "We're going to build 1 million unit production line and they hope production will start by the end of 2026."

So remember my caution that if it's not already as smart as it needs to be, how do we know it will ever get there in one year? Because I don't think LLMs, you know, the current technology can get you a general purpose general intelligence robot. But is there something happening in the labs at Tesla that they know that we don't know that suggests that within a year that they're so certain they'll have that that they would already start on a production line?

I don't know. I can't tell how much of that is optimism and the fact that Musk might think, well, even if I don't know how to do it today, a year is a long time in AI and by then I will know how to do it.

Now, keep in mind the minute they figure out how to do it and the it in this case is making a general intelligence robot. The moment they know how to do it, all the robots will have that ability. Because it's just a download. It's just software.

So again, I don't want to bet against Elon Musk on robots or technology or anything about the future. He has a good track record of prediction, but maybe I would disagree with him on the timing. It would be really hard that by the end of 2026 we invented this thing that I don't think anybody has an idea how to invent. You know why? Why would it be this year? If we went all this time without knowing how to do it up till now, would the current AIs tell us how to make a better AI? I don't know if that's possible. Would the current AIs be able to iterate all the different ways you could create intelligence until it hit one? Maybe. I don't know.

But by now, I would have expected to see general intelligence if they're goin
