Thought this was a pretty funny “man bites dog” situation. Lately people/companies are causing small scandals by using AI to do their work for them, but these guys flipped the script by starting an AI service that was actually 700 Indians.

I believe you misspelled “precision drone strikes” or whatever is the latest assassination technique the AI’s have at their (virtual) fingertips. All 6 on each “hand”. 
And people doubted that AI would create jobs…

Very well played!
