That’s worthless.
teleoperation
I got rid of Microsoft, getting rid of Google and dozens of other surveillance aggregators. Why would I want this?
The idea is dead on arrival. Except maybe for a few very specific circumstances.
No it’s not.
It might be to you, but there are enormous numbers of elderly and disabled people who would benefit from more assistance.
I still wouldn’t trust a robot around them given how inherently dangerous a massive motorized contraption is, but we also shouldn’t be blind to accessibility and utility just because we don’t personally need it.

Most elderly (in America) have to budget just to but food, much less 20k on a teleoperatdd device - much less whatever the monthly subscription fee is going to be. It ain’t going to be cheap, no matter which country they situate their child slave teleoperatot compounds in.
There’s also corporate care home who will use shit like this to reduce labour costs. Now one nurse can monitor 5 facilities at once.
Yeah, that’s a good, but depressing, point. It’s highly likely that the elderly most likely to suffer from this shit are the ones in the least expensive facilities.
Even less human contact! Great. Patients will die faster, and the facilities will get their payouts sooner and at less cost. Another win for corporate America.
