            When Tesler introduced their “AI” robots a few months ago in a meet-and-greet, someone said AI stood for “Another Indian.”

            They spoke like social media managers, and it seemed to me like they were being remotely operated, so there’s a fair possibility that person was accidentally right.

    but it turns out all that cash was going toward a workforce of over 700 Indian engineers, rather than an AI.

    I doubt much of that cash was going to their workforce. Should have though.
