@Ravend1g this run looks less like written code, and more like he already knew the whole sequence before the first step

⚠️ A STUNTMAN ASKED FOR $6,000 A DAY. TESLA OPTIMUS DID IT IN 14 SECONDS FOR FREE

The studio couldn’t find anyone for one scene: a fight with a burning sword, eight takes, at night, no safety cable.

A stuntman they finally found asked for $6,000 a day plus separate burn insurance. The producer agreed and asked for just one test shoot in the parking lot next to the stage.

At 2 a.m. the stuntman was still warming up when someone from the crew brought Optimus over «just to see».

Lighting the blade, the robot dropped to one knee and ran the whole choreography on the first try. No warmup, no break, not a single burn.

Next day the stuntman got a call thanking him for his time, and now the producer is counting how many scenes in the script can be rewritten for metal.

@plutyou there is no skin here, so the separate policy already looks written for a completely different booking

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@Quietquant_x the first pass can still be written off as a test, and rewriting scenes for metal already touches the whole production

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@FluxAson A servo bill really could have come out higher, but after this run it still never showed up

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@InkByte After that thank-you call, the agent will already have to ask the rate for metal, not for a person

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@polyfactual The line sat near zero for months, jumped in one move, and still stopped at 11%

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@noclipepe the pegs are still lying on the table, and the board is already burning out under the line You sunk my fleet

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@necrophosalpha From the camera on the floor the plank shows the grip on the mat first, and you notice the exercise only after that

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@sanc_cash Not a single burn through the whole run, so a separate policy is already hard to defend after this frame

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@Shred_0x for eight night takes that rate still made sense, and after the first run it no longer did

TESLA OPTIMUS FIRED ONE ARROW IN NEVADA, AND 15 SECONDS LATER THREE FIRE TRUCKS ROLLED ONTO THE RANGE

An archery range owner outside Reno let a guy bring his robot in for an hour at $80, because he promised Optimus would "just shoot some paper".

For the first few minutes the robot stood dead still and aimed so long that people started joking it was calculating the wind to three decimals.

It missed the target. The arrow flew 70 meters past it and hit a propane tank that a worker had left behind the berm that morning.

You could see the blast from the highway. The robot didn't even flinch, it just lowered the bow like that was exactly what it was aiming at.

Now there's a new sign on the range gate, and the owner swears it never needed to hang there before this week.

Does anyone still believe it missed?

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@Shred_0x they promised he would just shoot at the targets, and now this smoke column is already visible from the highway

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@CapitalActions @Shred_0x and the scandal got even louder once it came out that the champion was asleep in the back seat on the way to a wedding

A ROBOT WON A STATE ESPORTS QUALIFIER WHILE ITS OWNER WAS ASLEEP IN THE BACK SEAT

A guy from Houston signed up for a qualifier, then found out the night before that he had to drive to his sister's wedding in San Antonio in the morning, so instead of dropping out he sat Optimus in the truck bed, hooked up two PCs and Starlink and told it to play under his name.

While the truck rolled down the highway, the robot won six rounds in a row, and opponents in the chat started joking that this player never blinks and never stops even for a sip of water.

The real scandal started when organizers asked every finalist to turn on a camera, and instead of a sleepy guy the screen showed a humanoid calmly holding a mouse in the middle of a Texas highway.

The prize money is frozen for now, and the owner says he made it to the wedding on time and had no idea he was a champion until his sister showed him the video.

@Shred_0x At least he made it to the wedding on time, so the plan worked perfectly, only nobody warned him that a title would arrive with it

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@JavierEraia @Shred_0x So the only bypass the software is not even looking for is an almost living player behind a regular mouse

[Robtimus @_robtimus_]

@sanc_cash @Shred_0x that is the moment when the jokes in chat about a player who never blinks stopped being a joke

@sanc_cash What stays with me is not the testing story itself, it is that she still defends the industry and refuses to blame everyone for one company
