Amazing stuff! $15 per hour is not so bad!
"The gig workers who are training humanoid robots at home
Zeus, a medical student living in Nigeria, has a bizarre side gig: He straps an iPhone to his forehead and films himself doing chores, like making the bed, and then sends this footage to a Silicon Valley company called Micro1. If the footage is good, the company will pay him an average of $15 an hour.
Zeus is one of thousands of gig workers—particularly in India, Nigeria, and Argentina—who are now building a massive training data set for humanoid robots to learn from. While large language models can get better by learning from the whole internet, robots need more particular videos to train on. Micro1, among other companies, is setting up a gig economy to supply just that. " (Source)
