Soon to be remote controlled robots doing all sorts of things benefiting from geo-arbitrage.
One of the main reasons capital needs labor to be fixed, so it can exploit wage gradients.
- hemloc_io 4y agoWe originally thought that robotic arms would be used for surgery but instead they'll be used to put tater tots in the microwave for 3$ a day so we don't have to pay service workers. Closer and closer to a cyberpunk future every day lol.

- UncleEntity 4y ago…unless you are the one making tots today and you really love the work.
- thrownblown 4y agoit's not just the wage worker they wont be paying, it's also the taxes and the costs of compliance and hr for large scale orgs.

- ada1981 4y agoWould love to read more about this.
