Beyond the AI Hype: Remotely operated humanoid robots from sweatshops

[Lucasxp64]

If we get first mass produced good quality humanoid robots before general artificial intelligence, we will have a new era of work.

Physical jobs could be done remotely to save on hiring costs and on transportation.

Imagine being someone living in a first-world country, and one day you could hire for an extremely low wage a person from a poor country working from a sweatshop for you.

All of sudden that new yorker barista can be replaced by a cheap worker to cut costs.

This will override by default any work laws like all kinds of remote work already do anyways such as call centers, any kind of digital work, etc. It will unleash a new era of cheap labor and displacing physical laborers from working at their physical location.

It will probably be done early on like this at least to gather training data for AI systems to replace those jobs eventually.
