   > 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.

               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.
