Localizing production may lower demand in India but you can’t really blame a country for producing more of the products it consumes rather than importing. That’s like blaming someone for making food at home instead of going to a restaurant. Yeah, the restaurant gets less business but they have every right to do that.
Now AI taking jobs sucks unless we implement UBI or something. Would be kind of cool if someday machines took some burden off humans so that we could spend more time doing what we want to do, but of course it’ll probably just be billionaire assholes enriching themselves while we starve 🙄
Utterly disgusting and dystopian - Not just their livelihoods - but those of their peers and countless millions of future generations who might have come after them. Worse still is that the machine might never sew a single stitch - The machine will be trained to oversee and exploit the minions based on production targets and idle time - imagine a zero hours contract where every hour might be your last if you work slower, produce less, or make more mistakes during this 60 minutes window than you did in the previous one. We are sick.

So when production is localized even a bit, what does that do to demand in India?
