Cory Doctorow @pluralistic : Companies like Tesla, Amazon and Cruise that claim to have replaced human workers with AI are often outright lying. Often, they’re instead replacing local employees with remote workers paid peanuts in India and other developing countries.

“So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: ‘AI stands for “absent Indian.”’”

The MATV/cable headend gear arrived last week and it wasn’t in a great state; it had been packed in situ so some stuff broke in transit. It’s not a huge deal to repair though, just some plastic pieces.

Gonna try looking into the software over the next couple of days. Tried to work on it last night but for some reason I couldn’t get the Pi I wanted to use connected to the WiFi.
