Hey wait a minute, you're not an AI! You're just 700 Indian engineers in a trench coat!

This is how you move money from wealthy investors to workers. Well done, I hope to see many copy cats.

I mean, the workers weren't exactly getting paid well. I guess a paycheck is better than no paycheck, but they weren't building a socialist utopia here.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Also the employees who got laid off and replaced by this AI aren’t getting paid either.

Funnily the Indian constitution specifically mentions it's supposed to be building socialism

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Eh....more like moving money from wealthy investors to not as wealthy conmen.

I mean, they still did the work didn't they?

AI = Actually Indians

A Guy in India

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

AGI: A Guy in India

AI: An Indian

API: A Person in India

UI: Underpaid Indian

And still used less energy than an LLM.

Wasn't a room full of indian dudes literally the backend of Amazon's "AI based" convenience store a few years back?

It's great example of making an MVP. Bullshit as much and as cheaply as you can until you know the market demands it.

So the correct backronym for AI is "All Indians"?

“Actually Indians”

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It was right there and I didn't see it. Well done. Hat tip.

Those guys must've had a damn good WPM in touch typing though. They can probably reskill to court stenographers on a dime.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Or, copy paste to a another LLM…

If I had a nickel for every time this happened in recent memory, I'd have at least two nickels...

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

...which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't this exactly what Amazon got exposed for doing with their experimental grocery stores?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Shh. That's different. /s

I don't get it

Edit: oh, its because the company wasn't producing a prompt-based service like ChatGPT. Their business was "making apps with AI". And apparently they had a team of people making the apps.

I still don't know what anyone else expected. I'm sure those devs were using AI to spit out functions, but you're always going to have to have a human clean up the AI slop so it actually works. So of course this is how the industry will work. Indians are just smarter than US Americans, I guess.
