    Why not just, you know, employ an actual human to do your chores in the first place? It’ll almost certainly be a lot cheaper than this clanker…

    Besides, there’s no guarantee that those teleoperators won’t be literal slaves.

      AI exists to isolate the worker from their labor, and for people in power to avoid accountability by creating new layers of plausible deniability.

      I appreciate the thought but which would you choose:

      Full time minimum wage US worker at $7¼/hr or $15,080/yr vs $20,000 one time purchase?

      I agree with you that these things are likely underpaid labor (maybe including literal slavery, or job conditions close enough to count anyways), but I don’t think your argument is going to be convincing to anyone actually considering getting one.

    Børnich admitted that much of the work will be done by teleoperators in the beginning. Owners will have access to an app where they can schedule when the teleoperator can take over NEO and where they can specify the task they want the machine to do.

    Those teleoperators are gonna see a LOT of dicks.
