- not_jassy 8mo agoI'll take a stab: Higher cost h1b employees incentives offshoring where average employee cost is reduced. Less h1b employees incentives offshoring. Offshoring.

- rvz 8mo agoIt's actually both. 1. Ramp up offshore hiring and relocate jobs in low-cost-of-living (LCOL) countries (India) to avoid paying the 100K H1-B visa charge. 2. Train their AI and robotics by researchers in LCOL countries (to eventually replace the high-cost-of-living (HCOL) warehouse labor workforce) 3. Deploy robots and AI agents to then layoff more people in HCOL environments and repeat (1) until their margins improve and they achieve AGI. It's not that hard to see.
