AI stands for “actually indians”?
I’m waiting for “generalized” actually Indians
You mean A Guy Instead?
Always Infosys
All Indians.
IP is “Infact Pakistanis”
And what’s TCP/IP?
Todays chosen Pakistani/Instant Pakistani
What do you mean the new llm I invested in is just 700 Indians in a trench coat?!
"Welcome back to tonight’s episode of “Is it AI or 700 Indian Engineers!!” 👏🏾👏🏾 👏🏾
I’m picturing a room of people with protractors ray tracing Doom.
Crazy that 700 professionals in india is cheaper than a compute/data centre.
700 professionals in India probably make more coherent software than AI.
100%, but i dont think that will stay true for too long.
Of course. Just one more nuclear reactor bro, just one more trillion dollars investment bro
Oh is that what itll cost? /s
Yeah. Trust me on this, bro
In the meantime. This is a valid business model.
Depends what you mean by “valid”. If you mean “profitable”, sure: Fraud has always been a profitable business model.
But if you mean “valid” in terms of what Microsoft got out of their $455M investment, not so much, as they wanted a great new AI model, not the output that the “human-powered” model produced pretending to be an AI.
a data center isnt cheap, probably cost billions, a year to operate or millions. plus all the side effects, like power requirement and water waste.
I can run a small model on my home pc, if i had access to those kinds of resources, i could run a AI data centre for profit, probably more rssource efficient than those 700 dudes as well.
On the internet no one knows you are 700 Indian engineers.
What’s next? Am I going to find out my AI girlfriend is actually a real woman? Smh my head, can’t trust anything these days
No, it is a teenage boy from Mombasa.
I…nvm
Oh my god I miss peak dogelore so much. I wasted so much time making those memes, and I miss it 😢
It was a simpler time 🥲
Shit in My Hands?
Is there any other way?
but it turns out all that cash was going toward a workforce of over 700 Indian engineers, rather than an AI.
I doubt much of that cash was going to their workforce. Should have though.
in a trench coat
Next I’m going to find out ChatGPT is 700 thousand Indians typing really fast.
It would save electricity
That would explain why it sometimes gets sluggish!
But all sharing the same keyboard? I need to understand the logistics behind that feat
They wouldn’t be able to type fast enough if they weren’t using the same keyboard.
Oddly between 5pm and 6am Delhi time.
Hurry! We need a photoshop of what a Col Sanders action figure would look like.

I hope this isn’t part of a larger trend of human labor being devalued because companies pretend it’s just machine labor. I hope that’s literally impossible.
A lot of companies have been doing this for years. AWS literally sells this as a service: https://www.mturk.com/
Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth
Who names this shit? I want to have a serious talk with their mother.
Amazon web services are incomprehensible. The names aren’t good either
Yeah the whole AWS ecosystem has a super shitty naming. Everybody knows S3, but what kind of name is that? All the other services are no better
Simple Storage Service
E: I agree that their names are shit though. But S3 makes sense (once you know what it means). Just like
boto3makes sense (once you know what it means)Probably inspired by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, or 3m for short
Still better than EC2 and the likes. Where is EC1? And what about 3?
EC3 is wrestling in NWA now.
OracleMaker was too problematic.
i like that they named it after one of the most notorious instances of fraud.
Next do “self driving cars”
You mean the 40 horsepower is actually 40 Indians under the hood??
Check the trunk for an Indian guy with a street map.
reminds me of the time when something with Amazon was Indian employees
They should have had 701
“Sachin! Quick, look up the best way to impress a first date who is vegetarian!”
I don’t even know what to say. How can you make jokes when reality already is making them for you? Have we finally entered The Onion Timeline?
