Tech companies desperately want to film you doing chores
- rolph 5mo agoi dont know a lot of private citizens that are beholden to OSHA. people do incredibly not recommended things that no bot should train on. myself i like to open the knife drawer [yes i have a drawer not a slot in a drawer] and wash, dry, and toss the knife across the kitchen into the drawer. additionally bathroom chemists, mixing whatever superstitious combination of products together, to create a bucket of "smells viscious but wow does it ever make things clean" are not a good addition to training.

Silicon Valley-based Human Archive, for example, hopes to partner with companies like Pronto and have gig workers record their activities using not-so-stylish camera caps. Nothing like training your replacement. I wonder who's going to buy all of these robots when the robots have taken over all the jobs.
