The first people AI is paying aren’t programmers. They’re mothers.
A Monday read on India's accidental new export: human hands, by the hour.
A few years ago, everyone had the same prediction.

This piece perfectly captures one of the biggest ironies of the AI era: the future isn't being built only in research labs or boardrooms—it's being built in ordinary homes by people doing ordinary things. The fact that everyday human experiences and movements have become valuable training data is both fascinating and unsettling.
What struck me most is that this isn't just a story about AI or robotics. It's about how the invisible work of millions of people is quietly becoming the foundation of the next technological revolution. History may remember the companies that built the robots, but it should also remember the people who unknowingly taught them how to be human.
Brilliantly written. Thank you for highlighting a perspective that's easy to overlook.
