All this H1B stuff, it's nonsense.
The tech companies are hiring subpar developers who can barely keep pace with the dimmest bulb among the whites. The difference between the whites and the indians / chinese is the non-whites will lie to each other and their bosses about the state of the project. Hence, you get stuff like Zuckerberg unable to answer a phone call with his new glasses project. He was using a product based on lies.
I left the tech industry because it was dying. There was nothing new to write, nothing new to create, because all of the companies had been lying to the world about their tech and the lies were becoming more and more apparent as time went on. The internet doesn't solve many problems. Most people don't need it. At best, it's just a faster USPS or a more configurable telephone. Most of what people use it for can be handled by a telegraph service or fax machines.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when I discovered the huge amount of deception surrounding "AI". The models they were using were never going to work. None of the research suggested it would ever work. Even for simple things like character recognition and whatnot it was a terrible disaster, consuming way too many compute resources for otherwise simple tasks. And at best you'd get something like 85% accuracy. The amount of data and compute cycles needed to get to 90% was astronomical, and it was all exponential from there on. Somehow, babies were getting it right 95% of the time and they had a fraction of the compute power of what we were using to get it right 80% of the time.
Combine that with the fact that too many people were outright LYING about their results or their methodology. Remember the guy who started an AI company that was simply having underpaid indians do the work for them? Yes, the "mechanical turk" is still the best AI there is, and it always will be. Hire a guy, pay him a few dollars, and you'll get far more bang for the buck than you will trying to make a machine do the simplest task.
Anyway, the tech industry is what's holding our entire economy together. Most companies post modest profits and growth, which is perfectly fine if the inflation rate is sane or the economy is steadily growing. But it's not good enough to support the insane amount of investment we have in our economy. People are literally betting that we'll grow by 10% or more each year, and then being lied to about it. It's all a scam, and the heart of the scam is tech companies.
One day, tech companies will be valuated at their true value, and most people are going to lose all their wealth because of it. H1Bs are how tech companies are trying to maintain their value despite not having anything of value at all. They want to fill seats and deliver useless products built on lies just to keep the scam going for another few years.
One day we're going to wake up and realize that all of these foreign workers were just scamming us on an epic scale. They all have to go back. The sooner they leave the better it is for them. It's like quitting a company before the layoffs start. It's better to do that because you have a chance at finding a new job. Once the layoffs start, you're never going to find a job again.
They can take Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and all the other tech companies with them. I don't care. They don't provide any economic value to our country anymore anyway.

Every new technology starts out a bit messy and is fixed over time. Any good engineer knows that the worst a technology will ever be is today.
Theres plenty of more things to innovate and create with technology. Anyone who declares that there's nothing left ever is acting outside of logic, because no one can predict the future.
What I do agree with on you are the shitty products tech is pushing today. The industry is so bloated and desperate for that 40% yoy growth that they release horrendous and useless bullshit that is almost always rent seeking. Like thanks but I dont need AI to help me on a dating app. All these companies are vampires looking for any source of fresh blood so their founders can still pretend like theyre the 26 year old founders they were in 2002. Their eager greed blinds them and makes them easy to trick.
Anyways great post.
That's an ass-pull if ever there was one. Fancying a technology promising does not mean the promise exists. LLMs are great for DEI hires who never contributed better than D-tier work, but contribute little to the White Man's world. AI does not yet exist.

Anyone who declares that there *MUST* be something left is acting outside of logic, because no one can predict the future.
Calling leaving tech 'cope' is retarded. Life has become better away from the white collar trash inhabiting that cursed field. Work in the majority of tech companies now means working with diversitrash, overpromoted females, and redditors. It means working to make things that were once good into addictive slot machines because your jew boss loves such things.
Its not an ass pull to say that technology starts out bad and gets better over time. Tell me one time where technology hasnt followed this rule. Why would you disagree with that when every single piece of technology in our lifetimes has gotten better tenfold, and has been for the past 2000 years?
Also, LLMs *are* AI, as they have passed the Turing Test. If you still disagree there, youll have to explain why you think you know more about computer intelligence than Alan Turing
LLMs are also sick asf and if you cant find a use case for them its a failure of your imagination, not the technology. Though yes there is a ton of ai slop out there because we let lower races have access to LLMs which is a mistake.
I know more than Alan Turing about LLMs by dint of living in a different time and reading. He'd likely know more than I if he lived now, but he doesn't. I suspect he would have long since discarded that test were he confronted with LLMs, because their behavior is so obviously *not* intelligent despite their great capacity for mimicry and vast well of collected information. They acquire and use knowledge, and can sometimes be useful, but I have not yet seen evidence of them understanding the data they collect.
Its true that things like kettles, fridges, and cars were of higher build quality in the past if you went to the store to buy one. But if I were to task two engineers to make the best kettle of all time - one from 1925 and the other from 2025 - the winner is obvious. The reason why tech is shittier today isnt because we have regressed technologically, its because we've regressed socially and economically. Even your own point about you knowing more about technology today than Alan Turing proves this.
Alan Turing would probably change the Turing Test today, but not because LLMs suck, but becsuse the test is based on deception and is incompatible with how much AI has proliferated in the past 5 years. If everyone didnt know what ChatGPT was, the tests would work; but because everyone does know and can usually tell if specifically an LLM wrote something, the test is mutated. Theyre not determining if the response is human, theyre actively looking for ChatGPT signs. But I can assure you, LLMs are artificial intelligence, and they are very good at it. Its incorrect to say otherwise
And they never will, because true Reasoning requires a Soul, specifically a Rational Soul. Such a thing is impossible for humans to replicate via technology, so no matter how "smart" an AI gets, it will always be a tool and nothing more.
That's an incredibly simplistic view. Plenty of technologies are recognized as not economically viable and simply abandoned. Watched any 3D movies lately?
> Any good engineer knows that the worst a technology will ever be is today.
Yea? Buy a modern dishwasher and compare it to your parents. The market doesn't care about "technology" it cares about "profits." There's no incentive to create the outcome you assume is natural.
