> The point of H1B is that the talent is so rare and valuable that it can’t be found domestically. If you get fired or laid off, hate to say it but you weren’t valuable enough to keep around.

Since H1B visa holders possess valuable business skills that can’t be found domestically it makes sense to recruit them when they become available

Some companies extended severance as salary to allow the employee to stay in compliance for a couple of weeks and people would scramble to find any job

Has to have been brutal during the recessions

WARN is about notifying the state of layoffs, it does not notify the employees

But it’s not brute force if it’s looking over everyone’s shoulder

Brute force would have been solving Navier-Stokes in 88 hours after plagiarizing all known 20th century math

When it needs to snoop live on what the actual mathematicians are working on that’s something else

What’s the limit ?

Will Microsoft Word publish your novel on Amazon behind your back ?

Will VS Code setup a website with your app idea ?

Even when you pay you are the product

This is the scary part - your most novel thoughts and breakthrough ideas being slurped up and regurgitated as if they were the AI’s creativity

Not only did they steal everything from humanity’s knowledge, the theft continues as now we are all hooked up to the machine

It doesn’t need to be all of them

And it depends on the prompt

Does this matter vs actual capabilities?

Does the Kremlin being excited about a tech mean anything of the tech doesn’t deliver?

> There are thousands willing to do his role

1. Does that matter ? There are thousands willing to do my role - what impact does that have on me doing it or not?

2. Why weren’t these thousands doing it already?

Willing to and able to are different things

> I don’t think ai models come close to nuclear weapons or to run-of-the-mill, everyday carbon emissions in terms of danger to humanity.

Nuclear weapons don’t have AI but AI can have nuclear weapons

> They do as they are told

1. What about hallucinations ?

2. What are they told to do ?

That’s what I mean

Why did intel sharing stop ? To extract more from the EU: extortion

> Cannot win against Russia in the proxy war with Ukraine.

Ukraine existing even with Trump waging war against Iran negates this argument

Because the US is such a good market at some point “caving” makes it a good deal
