You say that as if the culture difference with a truly alien intelligence is insignificant compared to the culture difference with an "overseas person".
(Even assuming "intelligent" is a sensible label to apply to an LLM holding hands with a shell script in an infinite loop)
I’m at a fully remote company with staff in at least 8 countries speaking at least 5 languages. It works out fine. A possible analogy to AI is that a lot depends on how you use it. The “skill issue” doesn’t disappear, at least not yet.
This isn't analogous to the threat of AI.
