This would work a whole lot better for me with some transparency, like a video archive of Sray making the sweater, a little bit of following her through her day, the ability of independent people to come in and visit / interview Sray once a month or so and include those in the video archive. Keep all that and get a link to it with purchase of your sweater.

Otherwise Sray might be some dirty sweaty unschooled kid walking 5km barefoot through untreated sewage to work under a tin roof making 3 sweaters an hour with machinery designed to mimic handmade details, complete with "attractive" human hairs to embed here and there, and $399 of your $400 purchase price is going to the factory owner and his distribution channel.

    Only in the USA. Terms apply. Not eligible for transfers to socialist America.

    I’m excited for the USA to finish that wall so when our air planes and ships are denied entry, we’ll already have have gated ourselves in. Let us stew for a century or two.

    And hey, at least when the AI bubble pops, we’ll have all these data centres to build a surveillance state to keep all of you from demanding any of your tax dollars back.

    And there is the punch line to how all of this ends for US too.

    I just have one nit to pick with the article:

    a company that used to make graphics cards for PC gamers to play Duke Nukem slightly faster

    The good Duke Nukem games didn't need a GPU, and ain't nobody buying a new GPU for Duke Nukem Forever.
