China's new AI Deepseek is better, faster, cheaper and more efficient than anything the US has.

The US is losing its technological advantage in AI, EVs, and other cutting edge areas.

American AI stocks just lost one trillion in value because China released an open source AI that’s better and cheaper.

This is what happens when you tell Americans that science is not real, and you make immigrants feel unwelcome. Those unwanted immigrants end up inventing stuff in other countries instead.

You know why those H-1B immigrants are smarter and better qualified for high tech jobs?

Because they benefited from excellent education and free college in their home countries, while dumb anti-education MAGA dumbfucks homeschool the next generation of mouth-breathing yokels.

A couple of years ago, Bill Gates pointed out that almost all innovations in America are invented by immigrants, from Yahoo to the Iphone, because Americans don’t do science.

And if America continues to be hostile towards immigrants, America will no longer be a tech leader, because the next big innovations will be invented somewhere else.

Bill Gates was right. We’re seeing his predictions come true now.

Flashback from 2004:

Rejecting the next Bill Gates

The facts are plain. U.S. visa procedures have become far too cumbersome, and bureaucrats are turning down far more applications than ever before. One crucial result is the dramatic decline of foreign students in the U.S.--the first shift downward in 30 years. Three new reports document the magnitude of this fall.

Undergraduate enrollment from China dropped 20 percent this year; from India, 9 percent; from Japan, 14 percent. The declines are even worse in graduate schools: applications from China have dropped 45 percent; from India, 28 percent.

Some Americans might say, "Good riddance, it's their loss." Actually the greater loss is ours. American universities benefit from having the best students from across the globe. But the single most deadly effect of this trend is the erosion of American capacity in science and technology.

The U.S. economy has powered ahead in large part because of the amazing productivity of America's science and technology. Yet that research is now done largely by foreign students. The National Science Board (NSB) documented this reality last year, finding that 38 percent of doctorate holders in America's science and engineering work force are foreign-born.

Foreigners make up more than half the students enrolled in science and engineering programs. The dirty little secret about America's scientific edge is that it's largely produced by foreigners and immigrants.

Americans don't do science anymore. The NSB put out another report this year that showed the United States now ranks 17th (among nations surveyed) in the proportion of college students majoring in science and engineering. In 1975 the United States ranked third.

The recent decline in foreign applications is having a direct effect on science programs. Three years ago there were 385 computer-science majors at MIT. Today there are 240. The trend is similar at Stanford, Carnegie Mellon and the University of California, Berkeley.

Bill Gates in 2007:

Our goal should be to double the number of science, technology, and mathematics graduates in the United States by 2015. This will require both funding and innovative ideas. We must renew and reinvigorate math and science curricula with engaging, relevant content.

For high schools, we should aim to recruit 10,000 new teachers and strengthen the skills of existing teachers. To expand enrollment in post-secondary math and science programs, each year we should provide 25,000 new undergraduate scholarships and 5,000 new graduate fellowships.

America’s young people must come to see science and math degrees as key to opportunity. If we fail at this, we won’t be able to compete in the global economy.

I cannot overstate the importance of overhauling our high-skilled immigration system.

We have to welcome the great minds in this world, not shut them out of our country. Unfortunately, our immigration policies are driving away the world’s best and brightest precisely when we need them most.

Bill Gates in 2008:

I know we all want the U.S. to continue to be the world’s center for innovation. But our position is at risk. There are many reasons for this but two stand out.

First, U.S. companies face a severe shortfall of scientists and engineers with expertise to develop the next generation of breakthroughs. Second, we don’t invest enough as a nation in the basic research needed to drive long-term innovation.

If we don’t reverse these trends, our competitive advantage will erode. Our ability to create new high-paying jobs will suffer.

2016:

Well-educated immigrants are biggest innovators in US tech

A Washington, DC-based think tank surveyed more than 900 individuals who have won prestigious awards or have been awarded international patents expected to make significant economic impact. It found that 35.5 percent of them were immigrants. That far exceeds the proportion of first-generation immigrants in the US population, which stands at about 13.5 percent

The survey results also help shatter the romantic myth in Silicon Valley that cocky college dropouts at brash startups are fueling technology innovation in this country.

"People may think technological innovation is driven by precocious college dropouts at startup companies, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg," Adams Nager, ITIF economic policy analyst and the study's lead author, said in a statement. "In reality, America's innovators are far more likely to be immigrants with advanced degrees who have paid their dues through years of work in large companies."
