Always had a suspicion, but its nice to know that you can just generally assume the worst about a technology these days.

Yeah this isn't new. I don't remember if it was Waymo that was open about it, but there's been a couple of companies that was selling it as a feature. Imo, VR folks remoting in is probably gonna be the future of gig work for a little while.

They will 100% be doing this with the Tesla robots, can't wait to set up my Valve Index again to fold some rich person's laundry.
