Sam Altman’s India Invasion — Because Clearly We Haven’t Got Enough AI Hype Already

Well, hold onto your chai, folks — Sam Altman, the almighty overlord of OpenAI, is apparently packing his virtual bags to descend upon India, because god forbid any continent be spared the AI circus. According to the article, Altman’s gearing up for a visit to New Delhi, where a bunch of other tech hotshots are set to gather and pontificate about how AI will save the world. Because clearly, what the world really needs is more “AI roundtables” full of people finding new ways to say, “We’re changing everything!” without actually changing a bloody thing.

Apparently, India’s becoming a big playground for these machine-learning messiahs — every tech bro who’s ever touched a neural net is showing up to “discuss innovation.” Translation: they’re all there to look important, throw around buzzwords like “alignment,” “safety,” and “openness,” and hope someone gives them a government contract.

Meanwhile, Sam’s probably eyeing the Indian talent pool like a kid in a candy store — cheap, brilliant coders who’ll help power the next wave of AI products while the rest of us get to deal with chatbots that still can’t tell the difference between sarcasm and sincerity. So yeah, Altman’s trip is big news, but let’s not kid ourselves: behind the smiling photos and diplomatic handshakes, it’s just good old corporate empire-building dressed up as technological enlightenment.

In short — Sam Altman’s coming to India, the AI billionaire brigade’s following him, and the rest of us get to sit back, watch the show, and prepare for another round of overhyped, self-congratulatory bullshit that promises to change humanity forever (again).

Anecdote: This reminds me of the time some genius exec told me to “synergize machine learning outcomes” — I unplugged his laptop mid-sentence and told him to synergize that. The company ran better for a week.
