Mind the Gap: $15 An Hour To Train Your Replacement
[curious] Picture this. Six AM, a warehouse in Austin, Texas. A woman straps on a motion capture suit — the kind you'd see on a movie set — and spends four hours picking up coffee mugs, folding towels, opening doors. Over and over. She's not rehearsing for a film. She's teaching a humanoid robot how to be human. [intrigued] And she's getting paid about fifteen bucks an hour to do it....
In today's episode, Alex and Maya explore how Toronto's economy, AI's rapid evolution, and behavioural science intersect — and what it all means for how we live and work.
Takeaway: [warm] Mind the Gap is produced every morning for people who'd rather think than scroll. See you tomorrow.
New episodes drop every weekday morning.
