There are lots of higher-level technical jobs that pay annual salaries far exceeding $100k. If it takes only three years to recoup the $100k, if the employee works for them for five years, they've still saved a fairly considerable amount of money.

On top of that I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's possible to take fees paid to the government as tax-writeoffs. Sufficiently large firms might well simply write off the money spent this way directly against their taxes.

You know what would work better than that?

Subpoenaing the hiring managers and HR staff and their records to see what sorts of applicants they've received domestically and to interview existing staff of the company and any 'heathunter' types they've used to fill jobs before to find out if they're actually having trouble filling jobs or if instead they're simply trying to replace more expensive domestic employees with foreign workers at reduced salaries.

There have been far too many examples where laid-off or soon-to-be-laid-off employees described the active process of training their replacements with great detail. If they wanted to really make a dent they would take those claims seriously and investigate accordingly, and levy heavy, heavy penalties. I'm thinking something like 10x the original employees' salaries kinds of fines.

What loans are they that can be called? I was under the impression that loans are made with specific terms of repayment and that's generally that.

More like heâ(TM)s lazy and his talent was being at the right place at the right time

I'm thinking "talent" may be a strong word here....

I mean, the words "rap" and "music" are mutually exclusive terms after all, eh?

If caught early enough, you can make lifestyle changes which dramatically impact the course of the disease.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from making these changes now.

Diet, exercise, get off your screens and get some sunshine is always good medical advice.

That's not the problem. The problem is we already are in a scenario where we have two good jobs for every five people. A good job here is something that lets you afford a one-bedroom apartment by yourself in a city that consistently has employment.

Apparently you and those like you, ONLY consider a city to be the equivalent of of NYC....which is quite the outlier.

Most other cities across the US, with plenty of good jobs, allow you to afford MUCH better than a 1 room apartment.

Linkedin (like Facebook) has evolved to one of those sites that it feels like the digital equivalent of shopping a wet-market in Wuhan.

Certainly! Your point raises a crucial, multifaceted issue that merits deeper examination. It's not just about detection accuracy, it's about the evolving interplay between human intention and algorithmic assistance — a dynamic that resists simple binary classification.

When we delve into the mechanics of modern AI tools, it becomes evident that the boundary between "correction" and "generation" is increasingly porous. Consider the following nuances:

Gradual authorship spectra: Text exists on a continuum — from fully human-crafted prose, to human writing with AI-suggested punctuation, to passages where the AI has restructured entire paragraphs. Detection tools, however, often operate on categorical assumptions that fail to capture this complexity.

The feedback loop phenomenon: Furthermore, as writers internalize AI-suggested patterns — Oxford commas, em dashes, and certain syntactic rhythms — their "human" baseline shifts. This creates a fascinating, almost paradoxical scenario: the more one learns from AI feedback, the more one's unassisted writing may trigger detection algorithms.

Contextual markers vs. stylistic choices: Notably, certain signals — like the increased use of "delve," "testament," or negative parallelism — may reflect genuine stylistic evolution rather than automated generation. It's a testament to how AI influences language culture broadly, not just individual documents.

In conclusion, the challenge you identify is not merely technical but philosophical — forcing us to reconsider what we mean by "authentic" voice in an era of human-AI collaboration. The question, ultimately, is not whether a tool assisted in the writing, but whether the ideas, arguments, and intellectual labor remain genuinely human.

I hope proves helpful! Please let me know if you would like to delve deeper into any specific aspect of these findings, or if you would like me to explore the broader implications for content strategy.

The thing is, the UK are looking for anything terrorism related... Anything else is fine even if it technically violates another law and even if Border Force enforces that law. In the US they're on the look out for anything, drugs, sex, anything that can be used to hang you with.

Beyond that, anything they do needs to stand up in court and British judges don't give LEOs carte blanche in fact it's quite the opposite. There is a burden of evidence on the prosecution, the whole "I smelled liquor on his breath, I swear it" won't fly in a British court. An accusation requires evidence.

The problem in the US isn't with the written law, it's the immunity given to the enforcers. There's a saying Expats in the Philippines have, "the Philippines has an excellent legal system but a terrible justice system", this means the laws are sound as they were pretty much copied from developed countries back in the 50s and 60s but the courts and police are so corrupt that they never get applied with any kind of fairness. The US is descending into this.

Aslo having your phone searched by border force is rare, never even heard of it happening. In fact it's been years since I've even had to talk to someone whilst entering the UK, ever since they allowed Australian passports to use the E-Gates. there's been absolutely no need for me to interact with them at all and I'm usually kerbside within 30 mins of landing at Heathrow and that includes getting my luggage. You really should travel outside the US to see just how wrong the US has done air travel.

On the one hand, ai is indeed getting better at writing banal fluff pieces that fill the Internet.

On the other, human writing is growing so awful in both subject and quality (this morning's bbc contains an article where one of their interns sprightly explains she's been able to train her self to wake without an alarm clock, golly!) that little of value is being supplanted.

Hell, I expect an ai editor of slashdot would post fewer dupes and likely be better at summarizing the point rather than cnp'ing whole 1000-word articles for the front page.

If this was in the EU, it never would have gotten this far... in fact it probably wouldn't have happened in the first place.

I wouldn't take bets on him winning in the US. Their legal system is set up to service the rich and powerful and this guy sounds like he's neither.

Economists have predicted 15 of the last 4 recession.

Regardless of what they're on about or who's paying them I'd take it with a huge grain of salt.

"do a little research" - you do realize that your post would have had just the same educational value but not made you come across as a jerk if you had just left off that first sentence?

The descendants of Ogg have renewed the ongoing lawsuit against the descendants of Zogg alleging that Ogg dropped a rock on Zoggs foot in a cave one fine day and it was really ouchie! Anthropologists are working around the clock trying to restore the cave paintings documenting the original complaint made to the tribal chief in 30,001 BCE.

do you have a link to a case that definitively establishes that AI training is legally transformative?
