I imagine robots will be priced like a car and not like a dishwasher? It’ll be worth it, assuming reliability. RELATED: I was thinking about what my price cap would be for Claude Code. I pay $100/mo for Claude right now and I would pay $1,500/mo personally for the same functionality. Beyond that I’d complain and have to find new ways to earn, but I’m elastic till that point.

Because I don’t doubt that domestic robots will be reliable. Waymo has remote operators that drop in for ambiguous situations so that’s the reliability solve.

But in a home setting? The open mic, open camera, and a robot arms on wheels - required for tele-operators - gives me pause.

(Remember that smart home hack where you could stand outside and yell through the letterbox, hey Alexa unlock the front door? Pranks aplenty if your voice-operated assistant can also dismantle the kitchen table.)
