Excellent way to get around labor laws. Have a robot controlled by a poor amuck in a low wage country and ignore the labor laws in the country of the robot.
I could actually see this being useful for dangerous working environments like steelworks or inside nuclear facilities. As long as the control system is on a separate intranet that’s properly air gapped.
You should still pay the operator their full wage though. The human still needs all of the technical knowledge to do the job, you’re just removing most of the physical risk.
About happening for years in Japan IIRC, but in a good way, especially with physically handicape people, they control robots to take order and serve dishes etc in restaurant. It allows people to work, be busy, earn money, etc.
That would be perfectly in line with the original meaning of robot.
To absolutely nobody’s surprise
This is how they control the robot probably lol, and “expert” really believe in short 5 months Tesla able to pump out an actual AGI.
We don’t even have AGI at datacenter scale. Expecting AGI in a mobile platform that runs off batteries is just wishful thinking at this point.
What expert believed they could pump out an actual AGI? The article doesn’t mention ayone with that belief.
Given that juxtaposition, it’s no wonder even some experts were willing to believe the partying prototypes on display were operating largely on their own.
“Fooled me,” Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Gene Munster admitted on social media after hearing reports of Optimus’ teleoperation. That admission came just hours after Munster posted about how the event was “just the start of mega AI use cases.”
Well technically not expert in robotic and tech, but still.
I thought they were controlled by Elon.🤷♀️
I thought Elon was controlled by Putin?
I thought Putin was a robot
Who do think controls putin 🤔?
Should I be surprised?
