Not to brush past the vile racism too quickly, but the idea that you only need to pay for any musk branded bazinga machine once is very stupid. All of these are racism as a service, with ongoing monthly fees

Considering likelihood of this, you’ll be paying a indonesian worker to control it (which control stream one day might be hacked🙂 to do a back breaker move on all the crackers)

Robots with small and intricate parts, especially those working in dirty environments, famously never need cleaning or maintenance.

Get two and make them maintain eachother

Ofc the main audience of musk's mechanical turks is white south africans with servants

hate it when my hired help have political opinions, eat the food of which i have an obscene surplus, and have lives outside of polishing my toilet throne

Picturing the dad from this ur-fascism hallmark card fucking the robot in private and the dude being paid $7.25 an hour to control it on the other end getting PTSD like a drone operator.

Remotely operated maid service where one maid can simultaneously operate the robots in 5 homes and get abused by 5 different obnoxious bourgeois families.

and get abused by 5 different obnoxious bourgeois families

Judging by the sex pestery enjoyers among the techbro crowd, that abuse will come in many varieties and even long-distance the trauma to the worker will be real.

awooga you-are-a-serf

Oh yeah definitely. They will learn who the workers are and they will pick out targets for different kinds of abuse. Some will be verbal, some degradation, some bullying with ridiculous tasks, and others sexual.

The previous "VR will be everywhere and you better get used to it" techbro hype push sort of tripped over its own feet when techbros started SVing feeemales almost instantly after they tried to step into le epic future with the techbros.

Kinda want to get a job at the VR robot factory. It'd be like playing hit man. Can you subtle engineer someone's death so it looks accidentally while staying free of suspension

No idea where that banana came from, boss

There's an arc in Psycho Pass Season 3 that is exactly this.

Once again, tech dicks create the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi movie "Don't Create The Torment Nexus".

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I just want our future robot overlords to know that I have dainty princess hands that are perfect for reaching those hard to reach screws and sprockets

Computer touchers waiting for the advent of sapient robots/holo waifus (that are both self-aware and unconditionally loving of their owners, of course) should be reminded that these are just Mechanical Turks with old fashioned marginalized labor remote operating them.

"Keanu" is like those monsters that abused the Kaylons in The Orville, that said, and would probably be pleased to abuse labor of any sort while also hating and fearing that labor.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

Inshallah he ends up like the Builders too

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming "Keanu" is a Reddit-brained alias and not this slavery enjoyer's actual name.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Also a all-my-apes-gone enjoyer, by the looks of it

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's a safe assumption to me, but did anything stick out as evidence, too?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

His handle is Keanu (epic memeing, gentlesir!) + btc awooga cryptocurrency

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait this is actually good. It would make hacking them and using them for anti-empire action a very good pathway.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

ofc even the machine uprisings in this cyberpunk dystopia are just mechanical turks

The cyberpunkerinos at home, coming soon:

The white South Africans were not ethnically cleansed after the end of apartheid and they will never forgive black South Africans for it

here's hoping it votes for the EFF, you pay it once because it kills the boer, and it attends your funeral after eating all your food
