Building @ForgeAITrainer

[Jake @jakerumbles]

After months if intense development, I'm proud to be launching Forge with @beefcowboydude. We built the kind of fitness app that we would use ourselves every week in the gym.

Never been able to afford a personal trainer? Well now you can.

Forge yourself 🔥

@UbermenschMind Art deco really is the best esthetic for an empire

@stuckinbrazil This is so relatable. Hard to settle back down. And also props for making it that long in Rio cause it’s an amazing place but also crazy. Gotta find the right setup and routine to make it sustainable

[Jake @jakerumbles]

@rushicrypto Thinks that’s why I’m always thinking of moving to Brazil full time. Something there just changes daily life from the mundane to the exciting and it feels like i’m living life again

@JakeNomada Was the best month of my life, the first time

@inevitableSouth Now how many H1B's work at just about all these companies that are still employed?

[Jake @jakerumbles]

@RepNancyMace Shut down H1B now

American jobs should go to Americans.

That shouldn’t need to be said.

And it does it again! They must've been tired of hearing over and over how 4.7 was flying off the rails with its overconfidence

[Jake @jakerumbles]

Haven't been using Opus 4.8 long, but I have noticed that it seems more prone to checking itself instead of blind confidence aka "let me not just make an assumption here, I'll go look up the docs to verify". Great!

[Jake @jakerumbles]

Interesting how @AnthropicAI doesn't lower pricing for old models. What do we think is their thinking on this? Seems like prices won't go down at all until they launch a 5.0 generation.

@SpecDiver642 @BobbyBizScout The situation is so beyond ridiculous

Founders finding out building a startup is 90% sales and marketing:

@YounchanHwang No shade on the product at all, God speed...but idk how many times I've seen this "first AI marketing team" claim lol

[Døm @0xDomitian]

At this point, we need to just ban the H-1B visa entirely. You aren't going to convince me there is a "labor shortage" when 42% of recent college grads are underemployed, stuck in jobs that don't require their degree.

Start giving people a chance instead of throwing away their future for your own greed. It's destroying our country.

@kausmickey wtf

[Official Layoff @LayoffAI]

META EMPLOYEE TAKES TO REDDIT TO EXPLAIN ZERO OF THOSE LAID OFF WERE VISA WORKERS

A Meta employee posted on Reddit that they barely survived yesterday's layoffs. Their direct manager had 40-50 reports across two combined teams. Both managers are American citizens. About 40% of the team was on visa.

Yesterday they lost about 15 people combined from both teams. Guess how many of those 15 were on visa vs American?

0 on visa. All 15 were American citizens and green card holders.

Here is the reality:

H-1B workers are captive. Their visa is tied to the employer. They can't job hop, can't negotiate, can't push back. Deportation is the alternative. From a cold management perspective, they are the "safer" employees to keep.

Americans have leverage. They can quit, sue, leave for competitors. That makes them the first to go.

There is no law requiring companies to retain Americans first during layoffs. None. That is the loophole.

No company will ever publish visa status breakdowns of their layoff lists. So this will stay in anecdote territory forever. By design.
