poaching an egg
Correction
The December 2023 Gen 2 video did not show Optimus poaching an egg. Coverage of the demo describes it as handling, holding, or gently placing an egg without breaking it.
Full reasoning
This phrase misdescribes what the December 2023 Optimus Gen 2 demo actually showed.
- Ars Technica's summary of the video says the robot was "manipulating eggs without breaking them" and lists "Delicate objects manipulation (holding an egg)" among the demonstrated features.
- Engadget likewise says the demo showed Optimus "picking up and gently placing down an egg."
Those descriptions match an egg-handling demonstration, not poaching an egg (cooking it out of the shell in hot water). So the article's wording is factually inaccurate.

Optimus is able to handle objects more delicately, as shown by a demo of it picking up and gently placing down an egg.
