    I thought they didn’t need skilled employees anymore because AI is replacing all their skilled jobs.

    Once again… Actually, Indians.

      To your point, I think this will have the following effects:

      • they move jobs abroad
      • they use even more AI

      Effects it will definitely not have:

      • creating jobs for Americans
      • keeping American jobs in America

      They really couldn’t do a worse job for Americans if they tried.

        It just depends on which “Americans” for whom you’re expecting them to do a good job. The effects you’re predtwill probably make quarterly Lines Go Up, and therefore are good for a targeted subset of Americans.

      They need “prompt engineers” (or as Jon Stewarts calls em, “types-question guys”) and they need competent human beings who know what they’re doing to fix the shit the machine produces… for now.

      Big Tech’s bet is that AI becomes good enough to do away with types-question guys and competent people altogether. But we’re not there yes. Hence, Indians.
