    Putting these things on workers in a warehouse to boost “productivity” is some dystopian nightmare shit.

    Billionaires today: “How can we get even more work out of one person?”

    Billionaires soon: “Is there some way we can just put their brain in a robot? And, would that brain still have any rights, or would I just own it? Could we just grow the brain in the lab? That’s all we really need, until we get the AI thing working right.”

      But what happens when that sentient brain doesn’t want to do that work? I feel like I’ve seen this movie…

        Then the exosuite will interface with the users brain and lobotomize them into being compliant.

    Finally there’s full robotic control, where the exoskeleton assumes complete control over part of the body.

    AI needs you to click “next” o every prompt. That’s why they need you in an exoskeleton.

        Yes exactly. And why bother with fixing stupid things like legs or arms. All they need is brains.
