I kind of looked at it as a 21 st century variant of an old economic model, at least you and I agree with the thought it’s colonization. That’s a lot of first hand knowledge I don’t have. Thanks.

Biggest Bubble ever actually. It is a total scam, and I do not say total lightly. LLMs have a limit and anyone who knows them, knows calling them intelligent...well you are the moron for sure then. Think about this...your spell check...that’s AI...get it. It uses the same types of algorithms to predictively analyze text. No one would think Clippy is taking over the world anytime soon. AI is matriculating itself nicely through the Garner Hype curve. Sam Altman, I just look at the guy and I see Elizabeth Holmes with gay orgy sex twist.

I will have to castigate, the indians on their pcast performance. I find their comments crass and I do cast aspersions on them for their rehdric.......Or as Bart Simpson says "Don't have a cow mann!

Sure thing, dumbuscentralus.

Or should I say - marcus’s new chump.

he $100 k is a piffle.

No, because that makes them more expensive than the American worker, and tech's reason to hire H-1B workers is the cost saving.

Watching Europe drastically changing due to uncontrolled immigration, as well as Dearborn and little Somalia here in the U.S….. I’m fine with drastically slowing immigration here.

This will cause of lots of consternation at PWC, EY and TATA Consulting. There whole revenue model of 200% profit margin just went out the window. Next up, green card holders(if Big Tech does not play ball)...that will be the coup de grace for the professional consultant class. I have a small boutique shop in the ERP space and we are slow, but my phone is ringing. I never hire Indians, ever or Pakis, Chinese or anyone from Eastern Europe. I have great talent that would blow the doors off your top level CheeWee or Curry.

This doesn’t help their cause. (Fortunately!)

I read it’s for three years initially, then a three year extension. To what time frame does the $100 k apply ? Other than these brokers, can’t the family put the money up?

Let me know if Tony Blair gets to be the next Prime Minister of India.

Thanks to them, several squad members are now in Congress.

[Robert DeLong]

I suppose they could, but how many of these families are able to pay 100K? fromwhat I understand is it a one time fee for each new application presented.
