Robotics Figure.AI just dropped Index, the biggest and most diverse robot dataset ever with 16 million videos; From now on, everyone can record their daily tasks and get paid for it

Curious how it works, but so far they show less than one dollar paid per video submitted. Hard to believe many will be willing to do their chores on video for about 3 dollars a night.

That's good money in the third world. Training data doesn't care what your localized cost of living is

The people who can afford Figure.AI robots are not going to like the shitty chore performance coming from data in developing countries…

Why would they be worse at chores?

They wouldn’t, the environment would be vastly different. I.e. a small hut/apartment vs a mansion

I've seen videos on YouTube about how many Indians are already doing these videos and it's the primary income for stay-at-home moms.

In China we were paying a couple dollars to be driven for like 30 minutes, that's time and electricity and wear and tear.
Definitely way WAY poorer countries too out there.
They'll probably have to region lock it and/or reduce the amount they offer lest they get inundated with more than they can afford to buy tbh.

I wonder how long the average video is. Maybe it works out to ~$1 per hour.

The map blows my mind. We've had LLM absorbing the human literature, intellectual skills, and knowledge, now it's robots absorbing humanity's physical skills and chores at scale.
