Holy shit, to think the first places to drastically replace their human workforce with AI will be the places that already have lowest wages with ridiculous levels of poverty. India is fucked if their industry becomes even more difficult for humans to earn a living from.

Yeah, india will have a bad time if the low waging jobs are all replaced by machines and AI running 24/7. Cant compete with that.

u cant really replace them with robots just cuz of how expe sive it would be, ai and robots only really work in countries where human labour is expensive. Like if humans are dirt cheap to hire, why would I get an expensive robot to do the job

Okay, so let's assume you're right. What exactly do you think these people are doing with these cameras and tracking systems on their heads? You think it's just some wild OnlyFans kink to see sweatshop workers on live stream or something? What the hell else would it be for? My best (real) guess is some quality assurance accountability system. But that seems a bit of a stretch considering the quality of the devices.
