This week's warning sign of the impending artificial intelligence takeover of the world was on full display Monday at the Tron: Ares premiere, as Tesla's Tron-themed Optimus robot showed off its mad kung fu skills.
That will be sure to totally allay the fears of anyone who is waiting for the robots to enslave humanity.
It's only a matter of time.
In an accompanying press release made for the event on X, the machines' plot to lull us all to sleep by wowing us with robot martial arts was confirmed:
By integrating xAI's advanced AI technology and X's real-time platform with Disney's iconic TRON universe, this partnership will immerse red carpet attendees and fans in the neon-lit digital realm of this groundbreaking franchise. Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots will also make their red carpet debut, engaging guests with dynamic human-AI interactions and distributing theater concessions.
Translation: xAI and Optimus are testing the waters to see how the humans react when the deadly robots start hanging out with them and doing human things.
A spokesperson from X (who, let's face it, is probably a robot disguised as a human) said all the right things:
'This partnership with Disney lets fans and stars experience the world of TRON like never before - turning the red carpet event into a collision between the real world and AI,' said Monique Pintarelli, Head of Americas, X. 'By leveraging X's unparalleled real-time engagement and xAI's cutting-edge technology alongside Tesla's Optimus robots, we're creating shared, immersive experiences that redefine storytelling.'
Sure thing, "Monique Pintarelli." It'll also be a great "immersive experience" when the machines turn on us and herd us into camps for extermination, right?
Don't worry, though. It's probably fine.
Probably.
