What counts as a domestic “robot” right now:
“Hashme told me that he expects the first release of Alfie to handle only about 20% of tasks on his own. The rest will be assisted by a Prosper team of “remote assistants,” at least some of them based in the Philippines, who will have the ability to remotely control Alfie’s movements.”
Also:
“We don’t want you to have to place as much trust in the company or the people the company hires. We’d rather you place trust in the device, and the device is the robot, and the robot is making sure the company doesn’t do something they’re not supposed to do.”
No thanks.
