Am I thinking of the wrong thing or did Elon Musk not do some product reveal on stage a few years ago of a purported amazing new robot that looked just like a human in a bodysuit and could dance and jump around just like a human in a bodysuit and had a bodysuit just like a human in a bodysuit ?

Did you see the reveal last year?

Rehabilitating sinner
Musk tells Twitter advertisers: You're welcome back, but don't make demands

Meanwhile, available data suggests biggest spenders have largely stayed away from Twitter 2.0, er... X Corp



https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2023/04/19/musk_says_twitter_advertisers_can/

Elon Musk took to the stage at an advertising conference yesterday to try to reassure attendees that Twitter was a safe place to serve ads, while also warning the biz won't bow to pressure from advertisers who want to dictate its behavior.

Speaking with Linda Yaccarino, chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal, Musk reportedly (there don't appear to be videos available of the talk at this point) said freedom of speech at Twitter was paramount, and the company was willing to lose money if it meant protecting that right.

"We're trying to achieve here a sensible middle ground, or we're trying to satisfy a range of things, which is how to ensure the public has their voice… but also that you're able to serve your brands and improve the perception of your brands, and your sales as well," Musk reportedly said. "But it is not cool to say what Twitter will do," the billionaire added.

The early days at Musk's Twitter were marked by an exodus of advertisers, who were responsible for some 90 percent of Twitter's revenue before Musk's October takeover. Multiple major advertising agencies urged their clients to pause Twitter ads in November of last year, citing concerns that the platform wouldn't be able to ensure brand safety amid the unbanning of far-right trolls and a spike in hate speech shortly after Twitter got its new owner.

Musk even opted to publicly call out some advertisers, asking if Apple hated "free speech in America" due to its advertising pause on the social media site, which has since ended. Twitter attempted to lure advertisers back in December with incentives like spend matching, but it's unclear how much of an effect that's had.

According to Musk's recent BBC interview, most of Twitter's advertisers have returned, though third-party data doesn't necessarily back that up: As of January Twitter's daily revenue was down by more than 40 percent, with much of that loss attributable to the departure of advertisers. Musk also claimed to the BBC that Twitter was at a break-even point, though without offering anything to suggest that's actually the case.

Amusingly, from April 25, Microsoft's ad platform will drop Twitter. "Smart Campaigns with Multi-platform will no longer support Twitter," the Windows giant wrote Wednesday.

That means, according to Redmond, you'll be unable to "access your Twitter account through our social management tool; create and manage drafts or tweets; view past tweets and engagement; [and] schedule tweets" via the software giant's online advertising tools.

"Other social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn will continue to be available," added Microsoft, which owns LinkedIn.

Musk's response was to point a finger at Microsoft and where it got data to train its AI systems: "They trained illegally using Twitter data. Lawsuit time."

When this was revealed I remember people earnestly saying how Boston Dynamics were going to be in trouble..

I also feel like there was nowhere near enough incredulation expressed at the fact that previously Elon brought an actual human being on stage cosplaying as a robot, and people (stans) just accepted that as meaning that Tesla were on the verge of upending the robotics industry, and that they "didn't want to show their hand too early". It's just insane.
