What? One of Tesla's more recent demos of Optimus literally had a handler with a remote control "driving" it.

This is a non-sequitur. The Optimus demonstrations so far have been partially controlled (though the degree to which they were appears to be overstated). This doesn't change the fact that they've done public demonstrations with the robots while Boston Dynamics hasn't.

It's not a non-sequitur, because if the "partial control" of the robot is significant enough, it's no longer a robot.

[gonzobonzo]

This isn't true at all? Robots can be controlled externally, either fully or partially. ASIMO didn't stop being a robot because it was under external control for demonstrations (from what I can tell, much more external control than the Tesla robots).

I disagree, but regardless of what you call it, no one is interested in buying a super expensive remote control human analogue from Tesla.
