Would you be surprised to find out that the facebook "smart" glasses have been outsourcing the video for review and processing to Nairobi?

Wealthy people once lived with vast staffs who cooked and cleaned for them, and who often knew intimate details of the lives of the powerful.

Now we have found a way for the rich to outsource ... thinking. Off-load mental work to minds half way around the world. We are suppose to pretend AI is doing this work.

Not so funny anymore. More like something you'd say to your date on the bus as a sober warning.
