MODERATORS
theyve been talking about doing this to replace baristas and waiters and stuff with cheaper 3rd world labor remotely for a long time now.
Really incredible that they're going for low-wage humanoid telerobots instead of just robotic arm baristas/bartenders (which actually work & exist, but presumably are too expensive & don't look like a slave).
From what I can tell, this bazinga tech isn't even replacing baristas or waiters and is just making them more invisible so they remotely operate a machine that makes misogynistic and racist techbros feel more comfortable.
If it's remote controlled, they can work from India, and they can be paid less
It chills my blood how many Indian men in particular seem to idolize
