I think you might be thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna_(novel) ?

> Human teleoperation naturally comes with on-the-job surveillance and micromanagement.

> This technology allows employees to be easily slotted in and out of different jobs with very little friction, which destroys their bargaining power.

> AI permanently blacklists employees from every minimum-wage job just for being late a few times

> This can easily lead to a race to the bottom where companies no longer have to providing fulfilling, dignified jobs.

If I were stuck in this hell, I would gladly assist any superintelligent AI taking a swipe at the humans who put me in it.

If there is one inexhaustible resource than the stream of ideas of capital owners how to make labor even more miserable.

...and of course he is a Rationalist/EA guy. Why am I not surprised?

The author of the article isn't advocating for teleoperated humans.
lbrito•9m ago
He's celebrating it as a reality that is already here.
hax0ron3•7m ago
I don't see any celebrating in the article. The article makes it pretty clear that the author sees many problems coming from teleoperated humans.

Isn't this just the "reverse centaur" again, but this time framed as something ostensibly desirable?
lbrito•16m ago
The author uses a strange definition of teleoperation.

Following GPS directions is no different than assembling an Ikea furniture by following the instructions. So I guess Ikea been teleoperating millions of humans for decades?

"So, teleoperation is probably very economically productive. Is it a good thing? I think mostly no, for several reasons." followed by several paragraphs discussing the negative consequences. This is celebrating?
