Lot of people here and on X having a knee jerk reaction. While it’s true there is abuse in the H1B system which is badly in need of reform, the US technology industry would not survive without top foreign born talent. Just look at the team that built the Google search engine starting with the guy who coded the original version in 4 months (Amit Singhal), or the guy who started the modern AI revolution of 2022 (Ashish Vaswani) with the brilliant idea of a ‘Transformer’ (the T in chatGPT). These are people no one’s heard of but America *needs* people like them.
“the US technology industry would not survive without top foreign born talent.”
Yes, it would. Name some inventions that drive any technology industry that were created by a foreigner. I can name countless inventions by Americans.
Nobody needs ChatGPT.
It’s hype in search of applicability.
