And you actually believe that is what they are paid?

It's a move in the right direction, but over several years it's still probably a "savings".
And because we live in a capitalist dystopia, the imported workers will probably just wind up taking the equivalent pay cut instead of fewer visas.
This is coming from the company whose CEO "created an AI employee and then sexually harassed her"
I heard an interview with the person and he's just a schmuck bottom feeder looking for clicks and cost reductions.
People who don't have a job are much more likely to grab a pitchfork and torch when the time comes.
USB-A is much more durable AND it is capable of being far more compact. The USB-C connector is so small that all the electronics have to be outside the connector, while USB-A is large enough to embed entire devices and attach nearly flush.
I personally think the only use for USB-C is a reversible charging port. No reason you can't do everything USB-C does with a connector as durable as USB-A.
All this talk of revenue, but is the AI portion of it profitable? If it has to operate as a loss leader that does not bode well for the future of dedicated AI companies.
He's correct, and it's exactly as it sounds. It's a thinly veiled attempt to make it look like the importer doesn't pay the duty.
They're using AI to do this? Duh?
This is the "next frontier"? Give me a break. It's just the next grift by some huckster who wants to get those sweet, sweet VC dollars. I wish someone would do the "editing" when posting and call a spade a spade.
All of this is just a total clown show where big corps are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the off chance they can become the next Google, and these small companies are just leeching off them. It's like scam software/affiliate networks from the 2000s.
Spoiler alert: if you want to be the next Google, just build a better search engine because Google fucking sucks now.
Okular is KDE, though, which comes with a lot of baggage. I prefer Evince or epdfview, they have far fewer dependencies. On Windows, use SumatraPDF.
It's a return to the 1950s dictophone, or when an office was full of people on the telephone all the time. Look at depictions of newsrooms up through the 1970s, before computers really exploded.
Only this will be worse, because it's both Microsoft and AI.
Who knows, but those were the links below the comments. Very amusing.
Or something even dumber...

Oh, wow, spoken like a true 0.1x engineer, my Dunning-Kruger friend.
Most likely you "got where you got" largely by being in the right place at the right time.
I mean, someone probably said "It would be weird if we DIDN'T have our AI write this, right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?"
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
