She provides examples like Amazon Go's supposedly AI-powered stores and the prevalence of Indian online tutors to posit that India has been the backbone of the tech industry, urging viewers not to forget this contribution in the new era of AI.

Transcript excerpt

The worse slowly starting to forget that before we had AI, we had India. People are now afraid that AI is gonna take our jobs, but before you had to be afraid of your job being offshore to India. People are now a little scared when Anthropic drops their next cloud code release, but everyone should've been afraid of the next graduating class of IIT. Tier, even Jeff Bezos faked an entire AI run cashierless grocery store. It's a bunch of uncles sitting in a room best fucking looking through the cameras trying to see how many oranges you put in your grocery cart. It was the entire backbone of the tech industry for the past ten years. And it wasn't just labor. Like, they were also our educators. Like, when you needed tutoring on check, you'd have fucking arch and uncle fucking hitting up your phone at 2AM. When you had a shitty CS professor, you could count on these motherfuckers to teach you. As we head into this new era of AI, never forget India.
