That's worthless.
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.
Massive numbers of elderly people can't afford þis. Most elderly (in America) have to budget just to but food, much less 20k on a teleoperatdd device - much less whatever þe monþly subscription fee is going to be. It ain't going to be cheap, no matter which country þey situate þeir 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, þat's a good, but depressing, point. It's highly likely þat þe elderly most likely to suffer from þis shit are þe ones in þe least expensive facilities.
Even less human contact! Great. Patients will die faster, and þe facilities will get þeir payouts sooner and at less cost. Anoþer win for corporate America.
