2025 version of the mechanical turk
Indeed, a case for Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a service that is shamelessly and deliberately named after its historical model. The principle has not changed after all this time: poorly paid people do the work to make it look as if machines could perform the task - as if it were an unprecedented technological breakthrough, as if it were some kind of magic.

Maybe it was trying to end its tortured existence like those prototype replacement models in Robocop II…
I want to see footage of the backroom where the controllers are located so badly. Imagine how silly it must look, just a room full of people wearing VR headsets while trying to make their movements look as robotic as possible.
Thanks I needed that
Me right after the post nut clarity kicks in…
Also notice how it crushes the water bottle? Not safe to be around.
Just imagine it was your hand instead of that tiny water bottle.
musk is such a clown.
I think it shut down because its arm hit the table and activated some sort or failsafe mode (hopefully) 😬
