It's very prescient! Someone on LW linked me to it when I cross-posted there.

I was expecting this to be about Mitch McConnell.

Human teleoperation naturally comes with on-the-job surveillance and micromanagement.

This technology allows employees to be easily slotted in and out of different jobs with very little friction, which destroys their bargaining power.

AI permanently blacklists employees from every minimum-wage job just for being late a few times

This can easily lead to a race to the bottom where companies no longer have to providing fulfilling, dignified jobs.

If I were stuck in this hell, I would gladly assist any superintelligent AI taking a swipe at the humans who put me in it.

If there is one inexhaustible resource than the stream of ideas of capital owners how to make labor even more miserable.

...and of course he is a Rationalist/EA guy. Why am I not surprised?

10m agoHN ↗

The author of the article isn't advocating for teleoperated humans.

7m agoHN ↗

He's celebrating it as a reality that is already here.

5m agoHN ↗

I don't see any celebrating in the article. The article makes it pretty clear that the author sees many problems coming from teleoperated humans.

23m agoHN ↗

Isn't this just the "reverse centaur" again, but this time framed as something ostensibly desirable?

14m agoHN ↗

The author uses a strange definition of teleoperation.

Following GPS directions is no different than assembling an Ikea furniture by following the instructions. So I guess Ikea been teleoperating millions of humans for decades?
