> this company is full of people with absolutely no ethics whatsoever

I believe this applies to any company which sells an inherently harmful, predatory, and addictive product or service

Graduated with highest honors from a top engineering school and never once considered cheating

It's clear you are not considering the long-term effects of labor policy. If we want a stronger domestic workforce, the answer is to incentivize Americans to develop the skills we need and to train them when they do not already have those skills. Mass importing foreign labor is not a substitute for building and investing in the domestic workforce.

Hire Americans?

Hundreds of thousands of tech workers have been laid off in the last two years. There are many skilled Americans on the job market. Foreign workers are here for the benefit of the United States, not as charity to the rest of the world, or as a source of cheaper labor for global employers seeking to undercut American wages.

“Even in the Yale study”

What? The Yale study is where the almost two year figure came from. Are you just making things up? Did you read what I wrote, or anything in the study?

Then I give up. Best of luck.

Please do not assert I am making a claim I’m not making. Information-theoretic constraints exist. My comment does not require some specific, hard constraint to have been clearly defined, for my point to be valid.

If I were to say you could put a motorcycle in my car’s trunk, it would be perfect valid for me to say there are space constraints that make your idea unlikely. The same is true in this discussion, even though I have not computed the exact dimensions of the motorcycle and my car’s trunk.

Kinda silly to follow your “prove it” challenge with an absurd claim you most certainly cannot prove, much less support with evidence.

There’s no reason to assume frontier-level intelligence eventually collapses all the way onto a midrange consumer GPU. In fact, there are quite a few reasons not to assume that (information-theoretic constraints, etc).

Could just be that you aren’t an ideas guy/a lateral thinker

Doesn’t meaningfully change the answer. There are still tons of edge cases with catastrophic failure modes. The transponder won’t tell you about the alligator on the runway, a vehicle where it shouldn’t be, unexpected braking action, a mechanical problem, or a plane not doing what it was cleared to do. Tracking the planes is the easy part.

Weather conditions, ground/runway conditions, obstructions, mechanical issues. There are tons of edge cases with huge consequences for error. Same reason self driving is not a solved problem, but with dramatically less tolerance for error.
