It was cool until I got to the part where they were remotely operated by people in the global south exploited and paid jack shit.

Makes sense. We're talking capitalism here, so:

  • removing the worker means their labour cannot be profited from

  • the worker is reduced to a machine, a faceless element of the system (see the Soviet clash with cybernetics)

removing the worker means their labour cannot be profited from

They don't belive in LTV though, so that was not any part of the motive. It was as always in similar cases simply that human labour was cheaper and immediately available compared to developing automation.
