      For those outta the loop, a company is offering a humanoid robot that’s mostly powered by some dude wearing a VR headset who will be on demand for tasks and you can see a breakdown of this by [MKBHD here](https://youtu.be/j31dmodZ-5c).

      Absolutely amazing. One of the best things I’ve ever heard of. Our helpers from developing countries can now stay in their own countries and be with their friends and families like westerners get to do instead of moving to a foreign land and living in a basement with 6 other undocumented migrants. This job must be better than their opportunities in Indonesia, or else they wouldn’t be doing it. So we’re giving people in developing countries better jobs than the ones they have, while getting robot home servants, and our helpers aren’t even exposed to nasty smells or cleaning chemicals (which have been proven to cause cancer) anymore. It’s actually safer that these tasks involving cleaning chemicals are performed by robots than by any human. And the workers get to be safe from ICE and racism. Absolutely beautiful W for humanity and for everyone involved.
