If he was wearing colored gloves for hand pose detection, these videos would be suitable for a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model training set. The robotic companies are making and labeling many such videos.
These are still tasks that I don't mind doing myself. I want the clanker to scrub the kitchen floor, paint walls and clean the toilet, perfectly.
But that is unlikely to happen. They'll be used for crowd control (which works because they look intimidating) and surveillance. Perhaps they'll also supervise humans that scrub the kitchen floor. Most likely they'll fail entirely.
