The 1x teleop thing is wild when you think about it. We're basically offshoring domestic labor again but with extra steps and a VR headset. I get the appeal of robots doing boring tasks, but you're right that there's something off about automating care activities that actually build real human connection. Maybe we should be asking why the bros are so eager to replace things like cooking or washing dishes instead of asking if we should.
