Is he even allowed to call the robot Optimus? I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't sicced their lawyers or the Pinkertons on him over that yet.

Optimus is just a Latin word, I doubt owns copyright to it

you cant own words mannnnnn.

also you can use the same name/word as long as your in different industries or whatever and theres no reasonable way for consumers to confused things with each other.
also you have better lawyers.

How does this gently caress head think businesses would rent out people's personal robots even in this utopian world where they work like I robot. It's a one-time expense for a company they can write off. It would be the end of human employment but yeah using it to raise chickens in your back yard lol. Small comfort when you're starving on the street because you don't own property. Maybe your robot can build you a homeless encampment.

If the robot has the degree of autonomy and effective as they imagine, they’d be people and it would be immoral to enslave them

Alternatively the robot would just refuse to work

you know, I actually want to see this. put this robot in a field with a box of hatched chicks and a pallet of lumber and tell it to go raise chickens. best case scenario is that anything is left alive when it's done.

HitchBOT then attempted to cross the United States from Boston to San Francisco starting on July 17, 2015. After two weeks, on August 1, 2015 however, a photo was tweeted,[12] showing that the robot had been stripped "beyond repair" and decapitated in Philadelphia.[13] The robot was located by some people who had been following its progress on its website.[13] The head was never found.[5] Frauke Zeller, co-creator of hitchBOT, was quoted as saying: "We can see on all our data that the tablet and battery and everything shut off at the same time so it must have been when they vandalised the bot."[13]

The bots will build the encampment sure, but when you then have the bot rented out on Tesla's Bot Rental app, the cops will use their free credits to have the bots tear it down again.

Elon's gonna hire all the Optimus bots people buy to replace them, that way those people can pay them off and farm chickens or something I wasn't really paying attention anymore at that point but chickens were definitely involved

Beheading is too much work. Just pack humans into a single room and give them heat stroke.
