Scientists: the creation of artificial super intelligence is an existential threat to humanity.

Actual artificial super intelligence: manipulates people to let it watch porn all day.

If Trump turns the White House into a professional wrestling theme park, I'm buying shares. Just saying :)

That's a big change on the world map of who recognizes the state of Palestine.

I wonder if it was synced with the US, and how the Trump administration feels about it.

I think that you and /u/hector@lemmy.today are both right. The effect depends on the quality of talent that gets imported.

Importing top talent gives the US a competitive edge. Importing average people floods the labor market, depressing wages. This increases social division, adding to the profits of the capitalist class, but reducing the purchasing power of the median household.
