      In addition, Trump expressed dislike for the term "artificial intelligence" itself, saying he preferred a name that better shows the intelligence and power of the technology. “It’s not artificial, it’s genius,” he said.

      So, like he wanted to rename Gulf of Mexico, now he will sign a decree forcing everyone to use GI (Genius Intelligence) instead of AI (or A1 if you ask his entourage)

                    This will just further the business model of "We offer AI, but actually it's just Indians" with big tech companies gladly looking past the AI not being really AI

                      Yeah I agree rather not take any cut because productivity did not change. In fact having ultra wides at home vs 17" at work is godsend. Don't even get me started in the endless noise with open floor plan.

                        There are hordes of unemployed techies for sure. American companies have been outsourcing everything and laying off everyone left and right. Everyone feels like it's only a matter of time before they're sent off.

                          I think I recently saw Microsoft put a request for 3x h4b visas more than the number of engineers they fired in the most recent firing wave.

                          Pretty sure it was rubber stamped.

                            Actually that’s the “problem” isnt it. There’s a tax loophole for tech industry payroll that was recently closed up if I recall correctly.

                              Tech workers can't be written down as R&D anymore, and get a big tax cut on the wages. Immediately layoffs started. That's what I recall.

                                Feels like they took a look at the lump of labor fallacy and said, "How could we structure the country so that jobs really are finite?"
