🚨 THE AI COST CRISIS HAS STARTED. Microsoft reportedly told engineers to stop using Claude because AI bills were exploding, while Uber says its entire yearly AI budget was already destroyed by April.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

These binders hold all communications for 50+ PERM roles I applied for. The records bound together with the three rings are 10k open PERMs being processed by the DOL right now. Almost all the roles I applied are being filled with foreigners on H1-B — even the 90% from firms that never contacted me during the labor market test. This is the truth of the H1-B program. It’s about displacement.

America was built to be a high-trust society.

In only 85 cases did companies pony up $100k to hire an H-1b worker. That simply doesn't make sense IF we were actually getting such incredible (not duplicate) workers from India or elsewhere. Companies should have had no issues paying about 20 thousand times, this $100k fee. That fee, spread out over 6 years, is $16k per year. And if these engineers were really adding anything, then that fee is nothing to what should have been there value. No, the reality is, these workers from mostly India were simply here to replace existing workers.
