He says he would be more reticent about Optimus without meaningful influence over how it is deployed.
"I sure hope Tesla bots don’t malfunction! We’re taking great care to ensure that Optimus can easily be powered down locally with a physical switch to reduce the risk of centralized control."
"No amount of updates from the Internet can change that. So we'll make sure that Optimus is quite easy to shut down."
"we definitely need to be very careful with Optimus at scale once it's in production, that you have a hard coded way to turn off Optimus."
"So basically anyone will be able to shut it off locally and you can't change that. Even if you like a software update, you can't change that. It has to be hard coded."
"we do not create some variant of the Terminator outcome. So we're going to put a lot of effort into localized control of the humanoid robot."
"we should have some kind of hardwired local cutoff that you can't update from the Internet"
"I'd be more reticent with respect to Optimus."
