Absolutely Robody Cares

Rothing speaks bullshit more than an android nobot in a wheelchair tele-operated by a white dude wearing Hololenses, as if he was in some kind of alternate hospitality world we’d all want to live in.

Making it a square video does not make it cooler either.

“Remote caregivers”, I suppose that’s what they call “robodies”, providing “companionship”, “genuine human connection” and “the warmth of human interaction” is now a “comforting reality”, says the soothing female narrator voice trying to hit every keyword in the marketing 101 playbook.

“Nurturing human connection, enriching lives and redefining the essence of care”, more like nurturing the techno dream of total surveillance, enriching stock value for shareholders and pouring gasoline over healthcare.
