I've never heard of Visora before, so let me make sure I've got this right.

Visora is kinda "Mechanical Turk" broker for paying people (a pittance) to build data sets for training slop machines, right?

Are they saying that someone somewhere is paying people through the Visora platform to get them to create/provide footage of house cleaning being done from the perspective of the person doing the cleaning? (I'm guessing in order ostensibly to... I dunno... train robots to clean houses or something?)

Or am I missing the point Visora is trying to make entirely?

If you can't pay $20k to have a guy in India pilot a humanoid robot around your house to collect training data, you can cut out the middleman/bot.

It’s the AI model that looks like a more generic/“professional” xkcd. All the most useless Powerpoint presentations are wearing it these days.
