Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I know im a big nerd but "Musk also presented the Optimus robot, your plastic pal who’s fun to be with — “your own personal R2-D2, C-3PO!”.

Why would I need an astromech droid Musk? At least a GNK droid provides power. Stupid sexy gonk droid.

Don't have much use for a protocol droid either.

What I really need is a droid who speaks the binary language of moisture vaporators.

you know, humidity control is one of the few parts of my house that isn’t controlled by a handbuilt Linux system I’ve fastened to the wall

…so what I’m saying is now I’m writing one in nix, yes

We have a protocol droid at home, it's called curl.

Considering the important parts of that, aka the languages can be done by your phone sure. But it would at least have a minimal use. R2 d2 needs special attachments to serve drinks.

The cybertray, competitively priced at 4000$ and the reported risk of it breaking when wet is fairly minimal.
