- warkdarrior 5y agoAt this point personal data is irrelevant, the new goal is for robots to harvest persons directly.

But imagine if you can just say "Google, make me a sandwich" and a few moments later the robot comes along.... And the automatic cleanup etc. People would buy them instantly, giving Google all the private data of households which would have never bought any of the current "smart assistants" I'm pretty sure that household robotics is going to be the by far most profitable field if general robotics is ever achieved, as literally all households will want one, just like a washing machine.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoThe problem with household robotics is that people who have the dough for the maid-bot probably own stuff way too expensive to have it cleaned by a robot. The Lusty Automaton Maid, on the other hand, is sure to sell like botcakes.
