If Ai stands for “Absent indian” what does agi stand for?
Let’s drop the “indian” part of this and come up with something else, please.
I personally didn’t think it was bad because india is one of the countries commonly exploited for this kind of thing, but I can see why you would want to avoid using it.
Hey, as long as we can learn from this, then we are doing our best to keep this bar nazi-free.
Just use “intern”.
+1! and there’s so many better options anyway!
right off the top of my head (in addition to
inside/instead):incognito,insecurelyInstead sounds good, but “Absent Inside” makes it sound like it is an actual ai.
“A Guy Instead”, it’s in the title?
Alternatively, “A Guy (from) India”.

A Group of Indians
That’s called a call center
for the same reasons as this, not really a thing I’d post, even in jest
the existence of these callcenters (often in india, but hardly only there - much of africa is beset by the same problem) is an outright fucking feature of the years-long capitalist market optimisation hell-loop. and as annoying as their “output” (for lack of a better word) may be in one’s daily life, at the end of the day it’s still a bunch of people at the bottom rung getting fucked
Yes, exactly. The same capitalist/colonialist/imperialist forces that exploit the global south are the same that want AI to automate everyone into abject poverty. We can do better and show class solidarity by not perpetuating these racist stereotypes.
I don’t want to speak for the people affected, but I always read it (or as I’ve heard it called here, “the chinese backend”) as a criticism of the capitalism and colonialism that lead to that kind of exploitation, not a criticism of the people being exploited.
fuck im blind.
Oh hey I remember these guys from Trashfuture
