Sentiment
Positive users support Opendoor winding down India operations citing AI productivity gains as it replaces low-quality offshore teams with domestic AI, while negative users call the move mindnumbingly stupid for causing net US job losses.

@eigenrobot @brostoevksy Games of scale have different strategy paths, OpenDoor specifically cannot play games of scale.

@eigenrobot Our gov is spending I think 1ish billion in marketing to increase migration to Canada (just this year) with recent India relationship - I fear that if this accelerates - this will become destination as time zone, language, culture barriers are different for orgs

@danshipper @lennysan Big tech will soon learn the laid off many of the wrong workers. You know - those who could’ve done way more with AI…

@eigenrobot A lot of the work outsourced to India is "they don't know anything about your product, but if you describe a clear process, they can implement it cheaply." But now that's just AI.

@eigenrobot Token production will be eventually cheaper in India than in the US due to currency arbitrage + expansion of electric grid as OSS models close the gap.

@eigenrobot Personally, working with Indian contractors feels less efficient than Claude
It feels like I’m having early morning/late evening meetings to prompt a human

@BerkeleyBeetle @eigenrobot This.
It is simple to opine on complex and nuanced topics such as immigration from the subcontinent and AI, make an intelligent point while not being racist at all.
American companies should do what is best for them, and so should India.
