Once we've scraped the internet of its data, we need more data. Robots can take in video/audio data 24/7 and can be placed in your house to record this data by offering services like cooking/cleaning/folding laundry. Yeah, I'll pay $20k to have you record everything that happens in my house if I can stop doing dishes for five years!

There already exists a robot that does the dishes, it's called a dishwasher.

You still need to load it.

There's plenty of video content being uploaded and streamed everyday, i find it hard to believe the more data will really change something, excluding very specialized tasks.

The difference with the bot is that there is a fast feedback loop between action and content. No tagging required, real physics is the playground.

Or get a dishwashing machine?

People go and live in a house to get recorded 24/7, to be on tv, for far more asnine situations, for way less money.

Why 5 years?

Because whatever org fills this space will be working on ARR.

that's when the robot takes his job and he can't afford the robot anymore.

Five years, that's all we've got.

No real reason. I just made it up. But that's kind of my reasonable expectation of longevity of a machine like a robotic lawnmower and battery life.
