Just buy a VR headset and become the Indian. By the time the company goes under, you can probably get an AI good enough to handle 80% of tasks and you can just patch in on critical steps for tricky stuff.
Sure, but without the giant data center running it, the robot won’t be able to do anything.
$20k is probably decent for the amount of hardware you get, but the software is what would make this actually useful. And it’s a long bet on if they can make it work.
Of course I wouldn’t bring anything like this into my home that connects to a remote data center, it would have to be 100% locally run.
I mean, it’s 2026. I can’t imagine the robot can’t be jailbroken.
Who’s gonna hire an Indian to teleoperate it, then?

If I’m teleoperating it myself, I may as well do the chores myself.
I’m also dubious of the claim that AI will get “good enough” in the few years (at best) it takes the company to fold.
To an extent, except it’s less exertion.
More realistically, that could actually be a good option for people who are physically incapable of the chore, but want to do it.

That’s my thought process. If the hardware is solid, software can be addressed later.
