Too Long; Didn't Read

Elon Musk has unveiled a new humanoid robot named Optimus. The robot will be tested in a factory that builds Tesla cars. Musk plans to mass-produce Optimus sometime within the next three to five years. The first prototype of the robot will debut in February 2022, according to Tesla. Musk has promised Optimus will be as friendly and natural as a human being, though he has also promised to add some security features to avoid a Terminator-like situation. The new robot is inspired by the 1984 sci-fi thriller, “Skynet,” which depicts an AI system that threatens human civilization.
