I sure hope my driver hasn’t been drinking _ r_wallstreetbets
About this episode
This Reddit thread on the popular subreddit r/wallstreetbets discusses the idea of AI (artificial intelligence) being used to remotely operate self-driving cars, but many commenters believe that the AI is actually a person located in India who is being paid to drive the cars remotely. This humorous and cynical discussion stems from the ongoing debate around outsourcing and the use of cheap labor in the tech industry, and it highlights concerns about the reliability and security of autonomous vehicles. Many commenters point to Amazon's cashierless stores as an example of this phenomenon, where it was later revealed that employees in India were monitoring the cameras and manually verifying transactions. The thread also explores the ethical implications of this practice, questioning the fairness of paying remote workers a fraction of the salary of their counterparts in developed countries.
