How about at first if we put camera on it and then someone from overseas checks around before performoning the task? for cheap but it can make it secure.

- unsupp0rted 2y agoI’d rather not have someone from overseas walking around my home via remote cameras

- TeMPOraL 2y agoSci-fi authors were worried about rebellions of enslaved robots, while the industry figures, why risk jumping into the unknown, when we can fake a smart computer with overseas labor and an Internet connection, and wage slavery we know how to handle... Anyway, if we're going to fake smart robots this way, why not just honestly call it what it is? Remote household staff. Might as well give them better sensors and actuators, but I guess this is giving humans too much agency and risk; what if the operator decides to hurt the "robot" owners or something? The vendor would not have that. Cannot have that. Humans are too messy to deal with. Or is this the short-term future of all automation? I look at my robotic vacuum cleaner now, occasionally pausing for a second or two while it figures out where to go, and I wonder - maybe in those moments, it's using some Protein Intelligence Chip to query a bunch of random humans somewhere?

- HumanReadable 2y agoat that point, why not just have someone from overseas control the robot?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoLiability.
- vasco 2y agoBecause you can just have actual local people do it right there and then? The point of a robot is to not interact with other people, presumably they will be much more expensive than having someone come over for a few hours a week to clean - the whole appeal is there's no other human involved to coordinate or be nice to.
- elsewhen 2y agoBecause one remote overseas person can watch multiple camera feeds at once which should make the cost of a human-in-the-loop more palatable.
- HumanReadable 2y agomm, good point!
- _njyk 2y agoThis is what happens with "autonomous" delivery robots that are operating on London campuses. They are actually controlled by "robot operators" in Estonia, though officially it's "AI". That being said, every day it's getting a little bit better.
- namaria 2y ago> That being said, every day it's getting a little bit better. Estonians are fast learners!
