Excellent way to get around labor laws. Have a robot controlled by a poor amuck in a low wage country and ignore the labor laws in the country of the robot.
I could actually see this being useful for dangerous working environments like steelworks or inside nuclear facilities. As long as the control system is on a separate intranet that’s properly air gapped.
You should still pay the operator their full wage though. The human still needs all of the technical knowledge to do the job, you’re just removing most of the physical risk.
I like my idea for kaiju sized Rock-em, Sock-em Robots better. We could host robot battles between skilled karate practitioners and put them live on television.
The issue here is Tesla didn’t made the robot for that, but instead Melon Husk promised a personal robot butler that can do anything asked. If he came out on day one promised a remote controlled robot for hazardous situation or for warehouse work, like most robotic company are, he won’t get shit on this much.
About happening for years in Japan IIRC, but in a good way, especially with physically handicape people, they control robots to take order and serve dishes etc in restaurant. It allows people to work, be busy, earn money, etc.

What, it’s been done already?
Ah, crap.

That would be perfectly in line with the original meaning of robot.
You just made me think of something cool, no idea if this was said anywhere or thought of before but R.O.B.O.T.
Remote Operated Body Of Technology
Sounds neat to me.
