A 25-year-old housewife in Chennai earns ₹250/hour ($3) just by doing her normal housework.
She wears a phone on her head and records herself making coffee, cutting fruit, folding laundry.
These first-person videos get sent to AI companies training humanoid robots to handle real-world tasks. She shoots 90+ clips a day.
Her quote: "Who else will pay you ₹250/hour ($3) an hour just for doing housework?"
She's part of a growing gig economy in India where thousands are doing the same thing, filming everyday life to train the robots of tomorrow.

We are working to restore mobility that was lost due to disease or spinal cord injury by allowing participants to control robotic arms with their thoughts.
See how this is possible.
BREAKING
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:
“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.
Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.
And it will not happen in Iran either.
They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
BREAKING: New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, & more.
@Tesla FSD is awesome. I use it all the time now. I got this email. It is written by an engineer- technically interesting. But hardly something I want to try if I don't understand "neural net processing system" but like how a robotic car will simplify my life. Please hire someone to market empathetically.
Being dismissed as "perimenopause" - from my own experience, I attribute it more to practitioner incompetence than "being dismissed as a woman". There are simply too many PCPs & NPs who are simply not curious enough at best and incompetent at worst.

Cactus is the future of Leather
Cactus leather is a sustainable, cruelty-free alternative to animal leather. Made from the Nopal (prickly pear) cactus, it is durable, flexible, and breathable, making it suitable for fashion, automotive, and furniture use
Today we share a technical report demonstrating how our drug design engine achieves a step-change in accuracy for predicting biomolecular structures, more than doubling the performance of AlphaFold 3 on key benchmarks and unlocking rational drug design even for examples it has never seen before.
Head to the comments to read our blog.
This piece so well captures and articulates the culture of today and how we are divided:
We’re all watching and listening to different things now. The result: Whatever it one day means to have grown up in the 2020s, it won’t have much to do with pop culture. https://t.co/0EokPB7RCj via @WSJ
Great interview with lots of info. Thank you @friedberg for doing this.

Why would corporations like Amazon replace workers with robots? Pretty simple.
Robots don’t need a wage, health care, time off, sick leave, Social Security, Medicare or unemployment benefits.
Maybe it’s time to tax robots & use the revenue generated to help working families.
Sen. Sanders'd point #2 is a valid concern - none of us seem to know what work and jobs will look like in an AI driven world. The thinkers and makers in this world will have to hash this out and communicate their thoughts clearly to help the rest of us feel better about AI progress.
Sen. Sander's point #1 is his eternal talking point which does nothing but light fire in the bellies of his followers and annoy everyone else. If he is truly concerned about #2, he could have left out this potshot #1 out of this video.
Sen. Sander's point #3 on "real human relationships" is not new with AI. Each wave of technology (telephones, TV, Internet and now AI) has changed inter-personal relationships. So, not useful here as he makes point#2.
He does propose a solution - moratorium on data centers. Even if you don't like it or it makes no sense when competing with China and all other countries, it is still a solution. Ironically, it is hardly a "democratic" solution coming from someone claiming it is "democratic".
There are a lot of personal attacks in response to this video likely because not only is the solution proposed not great but also because of Sen. Sanders's own attack on the creators of wealth in this world in his point #1. Sen. Sanders's posts this video on X while attacking the very person who makes X viable.
He really should have stuck just to his point #2 on the effects of AI on economy and working class and jobs. We could have witnessed a serious conversation then rather than just aspersions.
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.
