Trash well past the brim of the can? That thin layer of dust on your furniture starting to stratify? Well, if you\u2019re in New York City and open to unusual propositions, there\u2019s a company willing to take care of those and other unresolved house cleaning tasks you might have, all for free. The catch: you let the cleaners record the entire process inside your home from the cameras affixed to their \u201cmagic hats\u201d to help train AI.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=116\">As 1 Million New Car Buyers Vanish From U.S. Economy, a New Car Increasingly Becomes a Distant Dream<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The German startup behind this proposition, MicroAGI, invites New Yorkers amenable to this unusual trade offer to sign up on the task-recording platform Shift. At the site, untidy prospects can peruse a 3D tag cloud of chores the cleaners can sort out. Classics like vacuuming, dusting, and dishwashing are, of course, on offer. But if you\u2019ve been meaning to get your fridge, pantry, or even a whole closet reorganized, they\u2019ll apparently do that as well.<\/p>\n<p>Announced with a recent post on X, Shift\u2019s introductory video attempts to explain how one\u2019s free cleaning service might go down. The video opens with a plucky young \u00a0lad knocking on an apartment door, ready to deliver some elbow grease. The company\u2019s US GM, Harry Kilberg, then appears to convey Shift\u2019s mad love for the 5 Boroughs by saying \u201cthe future has always started in New York. This time, it will start in your apartment.\u201d\u00a0 We then see the famous \u201cLunch atop a Skyscraper\u201d photograph while the instrumental track from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys\u2019 2009 \u201cEmpire State of Mind\u201d plays in the background. There is no longer any doubt as to whether or not this tech company is tapped in with Real New Yawkers.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On their site, Shift attempts to reassure its future dataset providers with a robust FAQ. The company promises all names, faces, and other sensitive data that might be caught on cam are automatically anonymized. They go on to explain that they \u201cblur all personally identifiable information from screens and ID cards, to pieces of paper and cell phones, to help protect both you and your home.\u201d There doesn\u2019t seem to be anything in Shift\u2019s FAQ about how one could later request to have the video from their session removed from the training dataset after it\u2019s recorded and uploaded.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=114\">Waymo Is Fleetmogging Tesla in Texas<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The company, which says it\u2019s already paying tens of thousands of people around the world to record themselves doing repetitive motion manual labor says there\u2019s no place too dirty for your free cleaning before qualifying that \u201ccleaners may decline any specific task they are not comfortable performing.\u201d Shift\u2019s terms of service says the company is not responsible for any theft, personal injury, or property damage that might occur during a cleaning, but don\u2019t worry. The \u201cindependent cleaning professionals\u201d you\u2019re inviting into your home have been \u201cvetted by [their] partners,\u201d so that should probably allay any remaining concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Shift says the data gleaned by recording all these menial tasks will go on to train \u201cthe next generation of household robots.\u201d That future sure sounds nice and like something we will all have access to.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>MicroAGI\u2019s founder and CEO, Bercan Kilic, posted on LinkedIn that Shift will be launching in London, Munich, and Zurich \u201cvery soon,\u201d so stay tuned for video drops featuring double-decker buses and \u201cWest End Girls\u201d instrumentals in Shift\u2019s near future. But those in The Big Apple willing to feed the beast for a comped spring cleaning better act fast, because this is a limited-time offer. Just don\u2019t expect the cleaners to be able to get rid of whatever\u2019s causing that sudden whiff of brimstone once you sign on the dotted line.\u00a0<span><br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=112\">Companies Are Getting Burned by Burning Tons of Tokens<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AI training company proposes a simple trade deal: you get a tidy house, they get a bunch of data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
