Possibility of Humans Downloading Their Brain and Personality Into a Humanoid Robot
Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Business Insider, has asked Elon Musk whether it would be feasible for people to just transfer brain function straight into Optimus.
The Tesla CEO then responded that he believes it is achievable. According to Musk, "humanoid robots are happening" and explained that Optimus is a worker-droid. Its general purpose is to take over repetitive, boring and dangerous tasks or those stuff that people don't want to do.
Döpfner went on to query if this may entail endless life since people could then download their identities straight into a bot.
