Human Archive Offers Subsidized Cleaning For Consent To Record Data

People might not like it, but @babugi28 is one of about half a dozen entrepreneurs I've met who are finding ways to collect data from inside homes to feed the robotics industry. There are plenty of people who will show a camera how they wash dishes, clean the laundry, clean their homes, or do other tasks, like make dinner, if they are paid. Yeah, most hate that idea. But they won't when a @Figure_robot or @1x_tech or a @Tesla_Optimus comes into their homes and does stuff for them. And if they do hate the idea that a computer that can move, and manipulate the world, and has several cameras studying everything, can come into their homes and do everything, well, then, they don't need to buy or rent one. Me? I already have a @maticrobots rolling around my home with five cameras on it. Yeah, the data stays on the robot, unless you give it permission to study your home to make all of the robots better. I already have allowed it my data. Just like I shared my Tesla's data. You can hate that there are people like me around the world capturing data. But in a decade when your robot is making you a sandwich you can thank people like @babugi28 who is collecting that data and selling it to robot companies. The future is here. New job: "teach a robot company to make a sandwich." :-) Raj has a new job: "collect the camera footage and sell it to robot companies." It's a weird and scary future for sure. Would you wear gloves and a hat? Here I'm wearing the one that Raj made.

And OpenAI is paying hundreds of people in NYC to do the same, I hear (shared that the other day).
