Suspiciously absent: a rough idea of what percentage of tasks need the assistance.

Surrogate slavery is going to be a large business one day.

If you are telling me that one day I'll have a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave.

Why wouldn't i pay 50000 for that, besides the obvious "you are a creep" like why do I care when it's coming and market forces are going to make it an indistinguishable substitute human a la Joi from blade runner?

Does that mean some random human looking at my dirty laundry in the middle of my home, the most intimate place in existence for me? No thank you.

Because your sex slave uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion?

Feels like they cloned the vacuum cleaner Roborock Saros Z70, and attached the arms to a pole instead of the base.

Especially the arm clamp is the same shape, the actions are practically the same (take object and put in basket, teleoperation with live camera).

The type of thing you have lot of fun for 5 minutes.

Cheaper Unitree robots that starts at 4,900 USD are impressive in comparison.

    Weave says the robot blends autonomy with teleoperation (remote assistance by a Weave specialist) to guarantee that we complete every fold
Quite ridiculous. For 449 USD / month couldn't you just hire someone to clean your whole place and even sort your clothes, empty the trash, etc ?

Someone or thing to help with chores would be great.

But abject exploitation? Sex slave, even? I should hope we can find a little decency within ourselves..
