Tele-operation through a video feed(?) inside my home. Yeah that sounds pretty creepy

If I wanted someone taking a look at all the stuff in my home, I'd just pay a cleaner here instead of one behind a desk in what I assume is a low-labor-cost locale. For $50/hr I can have them come in every day for 160 days, and they can manage stairs.

They’re also much less likely to film their activities and upload it to the Internet…

Except these ai fucks are trying to put cameras on all such labor to train future world models and businesses are okay with it since they get paid for doing nothing extra. So yeah they can manage stairs but they might also be recording everything they do

Use an independent cleaner. My cleaning lady is a great cleaner, but she can barely manage her cellphone, so she's not training AIs.

"I won't let a human clean my house because AI companies might be paying them to help train future housework robots" is some nuclear grade paranoia.

Can you imagine all the customer support calls asking why it keeps showing up next to the shower?
