Yeah I agree, I think this space is huge. Imagine two or three generations down, someone from a poorer country using some form of VR tool with this, maybe with two arms instead of one, navigating your airbnb rental, cleaning counter tops, doing laundry, and organizing your stuff, and then jumping to the next appointment and doing it over and over for a solid days wage for their respective economy. With someone manning the bot, I see this being far more flexible than just your robot vaccum. They might not be able to do as many things as well as an in-person maid, but for 80% of tasks they might be able to do it good enough.
- monkeydust 6y agoSounds depressing for the worker here, yes it's a job but only because AI isn't far advanced to replace them yet.
- LordDragonfang 6y agoI'm going to go out on a limb here and say that sentiment could be used to describe between 80 and 95% of the global job market. Most jobs suck, otherwise you wouldn't have to pay people to do them.
- chansiky 6y agoDo you mean depressing like Amazon warehouse workers? Or do you mean more like Uber drivers? Bezos & company aren't exactly considering the plights of their employees/independent contractors for their quarterly financial report. Is it bad that I rank how successful a venture might be based on how many jobs it might destroy?
