    Is the future just having a human slave in a third world country strap into VR and carry your groceries for you?

      That’s basically what happens right now. Remember Amazon’s smart grocery store? It was just people in India watching cameras. Computer vision wasn’t capable of it.

        Makes me wonder how much of Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” is just some dude playing GTA VR with you in the passenger seat.

          Well, I think the self driving taxis across the us apparently need human interaction every 6 minutes on average… So are they self driving? I don’t know.

          We can’t use our phones and drive, but someone can have a screen and drive 6 cars at the same time…

            Have you seen humans drive? Now imagine them driving with significant visual and steering input latency, distorted wide angle cameras, and the lack of steering and acceleration feedback. Unless they are used to sim racing, I bet most people would drive worse than Tesla’s FSD if done remotely.

                The mountain of footage of idiots in cars on the Internet disagrees even more. OTOH, what’s the worst footage of Tesla’s FSD you’ve can show me? I’m curious how much worse it is that what I’ve seen.
