>Even at medium reasoning, it beats Fable 5 by 11.4 points at roughly one-quarter the estimated cost.

Sounds great.

Also latency looks very good.

I don't need to be spoonfed opinions. I can see millions of illegal aliens living in my country.

They are in the US with us, and you want to give them amnesty.

It's not "absurd"... you're confusing moral value with economic scale.

A $1T founder is rewarded for building a massive system that employs hundreds of thousands of people, moved technological progress forward dramatically, and has positively affected the lives millions.

A doctor provides life-saving care, but they are physically limited to helping one person at a time. A backup NBA forward might not save lives, but their work is broadcast and monetized across millions of screens at once.

Arguing that entertainment is "non-productive" ignores human nature. People gladly pay to be entertained. If sports have no value, do you feel the same way about books, art, and movies?

One of the few roles a "small government" should actually take on is defending from invaders.

Do you delegate all opinions to only those which have studies?

The same can be said for humans. Where do thoughts come from?

I want to trade whatever I want. Why would I want them to place limits on my choices? I don't need them to be my parent.

You could go do A right now at a local level. You don't though, because you don't actually want to live that way. It reeks of virtue signaling despite your protest.

There are 50 states in the US and plenty of other locations to build datacenters. "Still needing the datacenter" isn't a reason to build it in this specific location. It's ok to just admit you were wrong.

You are assuming the datacenter would be built there without the incentive. That is highly unlikely.

But it's not less in local coffers. If the incentive was not given, the datacenter would not be built there. The state government wants it to be built there to increase economic activity in their state.

Residents aren't paying more for anything and no services are being cut.

The entire tax code is full of these. For corporations and individuals as well. Are you advocating for a flat tax?

A tax break isn't handing anyone money.

Wrong.

  1950 Census
  ---------------------------------------------
  Race           Percentage of Total Population
  ---------------------------------------------
  White          89.5%
  Black          10.0%
  Other Races    0.5%
Keep in mind the black population was essentially segregated at this point.

Are you trying to argue that increased supply of labor is responsible for increasing wages?

As others have said, H1-B has been good for companies, and bad for American workers. The same companies who were found to be colluding to keep wages down.

Europe is stagnant because of regulation, not because of immigration.

The mere presence of H1-B workers depresses wages systemically.
