Wow, this article.

It looks like the Indian CEO took favor to an Indian subordinate.

They "hit it off" during a chance meeting. Perfectly normal human to human interaction, due to shared backgrounds, interests, cultures, etc.

The article does its best to turn it into a statement concerning an entire generation of people.

The corporate math and reality of it ... CEO finds a way to get a multi million dollar job done for $100k thanks to AI, and turns it into a feel good moment for humanity, so you'll think your jobs are all safe guys.

Thats a good CEO.
