Translation: if you’re a advanced researcher at OpenAI on the O1 visa (extraordinary ability) and you apply for a green card, they’ll make you go back abroad and wait years for an appointment. Of course, by then you probably no longer work at OpenAI.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Admin Closes Loophole Letting Migrants Stay In US While Awaiting Green Cards: 'We're returning to the original intent of the law' dlvr.it/TSgK6R
English
@coruncanius @Nick_Davidov Yes, it's currently a terrible system. Dismantling it and building a new system is the answer. Shrugging our shoulders and allowing the terrible system to continue forever is not.
English
@ThreadbareModel @Nick_Davidov There is simply no way to "distinguish" one from other immigrants under current system-- it's a list of applications. Furthermore, many who then became "actually important" in the states were not necessarily notable prior to arrival in their countries of origin.
English
The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).
This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

@razibkhan Do you live in the Indian world? I thought you lived in the American world.

@Aizkmusic @Nick_Davidov Vast, vast majority of major AI contributors are not H1B/O1.

@Nick_Davidov Do they just want us to lose the AI race to China? Insane

@Nick_Davidov @DKBhalotia Believe it or not, the visa program has changed just slightly since those three were granted.
And you have no idea if fraudsters are the exception or not. By a strict reading of the law, they're almost certainly the majority. Most companies commit fraud to get an H1B.
English
@DKBhalotia First, fraudsters are an exception. But even if they weren’t. All we need is a few exceptions - Elon, Jensen, and Sergey to create 4 out of 10 most valuable companies on earth.

What kind of moronic logic is this? Unless you've publicly denounced every single event that is in theory contrary to your principles, you don't have any?
Do you think you meet that standard Bill? Are you a racist if I can find a racist incident you're not on record as having denounced?
English
@PalmerLuckey @QuincyInst Anduril claims it has a better business model, knows software, and is more nimble and cost effective than the old guard. And yet it has not denounced President Trump’s impossible dream of a leak proof Golden Dome system, a colossal waste that will not make us safer
English
Who is paying @QuincyInst shills like @WilliamHartung to post nonsense like this? Anduril has spent nine years strongly advocating for independent testing and procurement models that punish wasteful spending!
English
"Come on" to you saying exactly the same thing as me.
I didn't say she was ugly. I said (approximately) that her face is fine.
Saying someone isn't a supermodel isn't an insult and doesn't mean they're ugly. It's OK to just say the truth. You don't have to be afraid. Woke has no power anymore.

Complaining about Sydney Sweeney’s upper maxilla and infraorbital support is something you do when you’ve accidentally chemically castrated yourself trying to look like a meme.
Mikli@CryptoMikli
Clavicular says Sydney Sweeney is mid and would become invisible with an average body “Some people think that Sydney Sweeney is extremely attractive. But I would say that she’s pretty malformed. Her upper maxilla is extremely recessed, right. She’s got the eyes of doom with no infraorbital support” “She’s really not that much of a looker in her face. I think that a lot of people with porn brains find her attractive because of her body”
English
NorCal/SF actually has the world's best weather. Cool and sunny in summer, mild in winter. You can hit a desert that will kill you and a snowy mountaintop on the same day, and go surfing the next day too.
You can shit on the rest, but you can't contest it's a natural paradise.

Imagine asking a human from any time in history prior to the 20th century if they wanted 3 almonds, to travel 20 miles, or to ask an oracle any question no matter how complex
Ethan Mollick@emollick
If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water. So that is less than three almonds worth of water and the electricity equivalent of 2-20 miles of EV driving.

@SamuriDotCom I think this is enough arguing with a disingenuous freak for one day. Seek help for your degeneracy

@ThreadbareModel @BorjomiDrinker I remember my parents paying the toll booths with change twice a month on our way to Quaker Steak and Lube. And Quaker Steak filed for bankruptcy, oops 11 years ago. Still damn near 10 years, no?
English
Im still pretty young and I remember eating like a king with literal pocket change at diners and fast food restaurants less than a decade ago. Did everyone forget the McDonald's Dollar Menu?
Why is it so hard for olds to admit shit's gotten expensive?
judgeshowtunesgaming@judgeshowgames
@jpizzle0329 "i'M pOoR lUnCh Is ToO eXpEnSiVe!" "Well don't buy the expensive lunch, just make this cheaper lunch that most of us live on every day." "NO IT SHOULD JUST BE CHEAPER! I WANT IT!" Some people never stopped being children.

His employees get a $20/day lunch stipend as a benefit, btw.

Caleb Hammer on those paying $20 per lunch to get fast food “Pack a sandwich”

@uglydouche @ii_analyze Lmaoooooo moron can't even read a simple ingredient list accurately. This is incredible.
English
Not my point at all. My point is you are being disingenuous about how cheap each plate is.
Once you account for factors outside of the vacuum, the price doesn't look quite as low...
...Which is funny because its still low, and you could still get your point across just fine without lying, but all these posts are like "I made my gormet plate for 19 cents", its disingenuous.
Fact checked the first item on your list and you're off by 33-85%.
English
1 chicken thigh — $1.25
1 cup of rice — $0.35
1/2 cup beans — $0.11
1/2 chayote squash — $0.21
Pinch of shredded cheese — $0.18
seasoning/fat — $0.20
Estimated total plate cost: $2.31
is that enough food for you GenZ you fat fucks?
Cheese_Coolman@Cheeze_Coolman
@ii_analyze Half a chicken breast?! One fucking carrot. And a cup of spinach. 🤣 Thats only about 280 calories. You need a minumum of 2000 a day. This for 3 meals is 840 cal. Im 6'6" and active, I would literally starve to death if I ate this for each meal.
English
@uglydouche @ii_analyze How do none of you idiots own a refrigerator?
English
@ii_analyze These posts are beyond retarded.
You are giving the price of a single plate of food, in a vacuum, as if taxes don't exist and as if you can go into the store and purchase each single serving ingredient for less than 50 cents each.
Unfathomably stupid and disingenuous.
English
@BallisticPissle "Reduced to". I don't see any reason to limit my tools. I can't make fun of you for a variety of reasons, of which typos is just one. But also yea, morons make typos a lot more often than smart people. You're clearly a poor moron.
English
@ThreadbareModel Nigga if you’re reduced to typo watching then you have failed. This has been a universal internet rule since before I was born.
English
one thing many anti-marriage men dont understand about marriage is that yes you are giving one woman vast power over your life.
but you are also reducing to ~0 the amount of power that most non-kin women have over you
with a good woman, this is an exceptional trade
English
@BallisticPissle That you're a broke, minimum wage loser. That's the entire argument.
English
@ThreadbareModel It sucks, glad I don’t deal with it anymore.
What’s your argument fаggоt?
English
Why in the fuck do you need my Social Security Number on the JOB APPLICATION?
English
The irony of you of all people talking about made-up head canon. That's literally your only argument against others. Just relentlessly asserting facts about strangers.
"Epic business". It's very, very funny to me that you can't conceive of someone with a high salary and hiring power who doesn't run their own business. Truly minimum wage brain
English
@ThreadbareModel @LastPompiean You made up a headcanon for me after your fake fantasy about your epic business and submissive tradwife.
You’re the kind of guy who had maybe one drunken hookup in college and thinks he’s a sex god. That is the type of guy most likely to call someone else an incel.
