What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Who's gonna hire an Indian to teleoperate it, then?

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.

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.
