@BillWiIdin You must be retarded. Just look at your profile photo. Screams ‘don’t take me seriously’. Why would you punish increased worker effecieny? Can work more hours not having to commute, you make no sense.
@LottoLabs All that for a shitty 27b model when u can just pay $100 for max usage best of the best. Still makes no sense. Costa are only going down as ai scales.
IBM's CEO is from India.
He just fired 9,000 Americans with most of those jobs going to India where they already employ over 100,000 people.
They also file around 3,000 H-1B petitions annually in an attempt to bring in more foreigners to steal American jobs.
This is some BS.
🇺🇸🇮🇳 IBM's Indian CEO Arvind Krishna fired 9,000 Americans.
IBM continues to actively sponsor H-1B visas (100,00 Indian workers)
The company files 3,000 H-1B petitions annually.
My 28 year old daughter who has a degree in materials science and engineering, was recently laid off from this company in January.
They cut 2/3 of the people and she noticed that H1b Indians were the ones who were kept.
She had previously told me that the Indians were legally getting paid less than the Americans.
She still hasn’t found a job and she lives in Boston metro.

@itsolelehmann There’s definitely some interesting nuggets here. We haven’t achieved true agi, no one even know that that means anymore. It used to have a very specific definition. Now it’s just a hype term thrown around on the newest model of the day. Still no where near agi.
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.
@AndrewYNg The fake narrative that foreign talent is some how superior is finally over. Now was can stop pretending that America doesn’t produced skilled talented workers in science and technology.
