It's touching to hear Anthony Bourdain reminiscing about laundry. The point about a laundry maid giving me back time better spent engineering is a practical dilemma.
Some companies are building Robots for this already. for example https://figure.ai
Except that robot probably costs more than the prevent value of all clothes I’ll ever buy.
I hear you. I also don't buy clothes unless really really needed. But I am hoping that if I do buy a Robot like that, it will do other things as well and not just folding laundry :)
I found this job ad for them, as a data collector. Does that mean they will pay me to fold my laundry, while they finish up their robot system?
Ahahaha, good point! Some automation on that field would be precious.
