"Outsourcing to AI is the same bright idea as offshoring work to China / India...etc. (I am not sh-----g on Chinese, Indians...etc. I know people need work and are paid peanuts).

Outsourcing leaves countries without skilled workforce, technology, R&D, continuous progress, trained people, people who can train juniors to seniors...etc. You name it.

Then the price gets hiked up.

In a couple of years, those same id--ts who fu---d the whole training and working process up are the same id--ts who will cry for not being able to find people who will do the work." -Morden013

In response to the findings, Lauren Bis, a White House spokesperson, told Newsweek that the new fee was about "putting the American worker first" by protecting them from being replaced by foreign labor.

“The $103,000 fee discourages companies from spamming the system and focuses the program on its purpose of providing truly highly specialized temporary labor," Bis said. "There is no shortage of American minds and hands to grow our labor force, and President Trump’s agenda to create jobs for American workers represents this Administration’s commitment to capitalizing on that untapped potential.”
