      AGI: A Guy in India

      AI: An Indian

      API: A Person in India

      UI: Underpaid Indian

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

    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”?

    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.

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