Nobel Prize winners are only allowed because the country is overwhelmed with illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees who contribute little to the system.

However, there is a group that benefits from undocumented workers taking underpaid, off-the-books jobs, and they hold significant influence in policymaking.

Isn't "contributing little to the system" and "taking underpaid jobs" a contradiction? If you are taking a job, you are contributing to the system.

So pretty much most HN commenters, then.

Seems like implicit bias. "Many people in my circle have an H1-B visa, thus it is far from impossible to get one."

I'm not sure, it's an observation considering how AI improvement is related to Moore's law.

However, an increase in computing quality doesn't necessarily mean an increase in output quality, as you need compute power + data to train these models.

Just increasing compute power will increase the performance/training speed of these models, but you also need to increase the quality of the data that you are training these models on.

Maybe... the reason why these models show a high school level of understanding is because most of the data on the internet that these models have been trained on is of high school graduate quality.

I don't trust Copilot because it has been trained on my code.
