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.

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

It would save electricity

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

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?
