OpenAI Paying NYC Residents to Install 360-Degree Cameras Recording Everything in Their Homes
r/OpenAI·medium signal
A 334-upvote, 78-comment r/OpenAI post reports that OpenAI is paying NYC residents to install 360-degree cameras in their homes that record all daily activities — vacuuming, cooking, dishwashing. This aligns with OpenAI's confirmed robotics data collection push (their SF lab employs ~100 contract data collectors for household task datasets), but the home camera program represents a new scale of data acquisition. Single-source Reddit claim; verification pending.
