The other firms being suspended from the program include Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro.

Those are the contractors.

I'm open to other suggestions but I have yet to hear a single one that is both viable and actually works.

I don't really oppose H1b, but arrest one CEO who is hiring people illegally, and this will stop.

If H1B were really about skilled foreigners filling gaps that can't be filled otherwise, their salaries would be high relative to US citizens.

In a free market, your salary is proportional to how hard it is to replace you:

Push buttons like a trained seal? Peanuts.

Know where to place the the thousand dollar chalk mark? Mid six figures easy.

So what do H1Bs at Microsoft make?

If these links

are to be believed, kinda average for a software engineer. Maybe even a little low. Boston area under 160k.

Not the stereotypical monkey pushing a button, but not exactly top flight talent either.

Well, let's test your logic. Saying hearts can't do math is the same thing as saying people can't do math, because a heart is a subset of a person. Or how about this one ... saying that the Amygdala can't do math is the same thing as brains can't do math because the Amygdala is a subset of the brain. How about claiming that saying databases can't serve web pages is the same as saying a webserver can't serve web pages because databases are a subset of a web stack. Herp Derp.

In order to believe your ridiculous claim you pretty much have to go out of your way in search of misinformation at this point. Leaving aside the fact that you don't know the difference between an LLM and a frontier AI model, you also have to know nothing about actual documented proof, time and again, that they have arrived at completely non-novel innovative solutions to real world challenges with zero human intervention.

Did you see the pictures of the AIs in the study?

What's with that lighting? They didn't adjust for the fact that the woman looks slightly more like a serial killer, with a wrinkled skirt pulled up to her ribcage. I haven't seen graphics that bad since Metaverse. The study noticed it, but didn't adjust for it. Relevant quote:

"Johanna was perceived as less human-like than Johan"

Because the graphics were terrible.

And Mel Brooks is 100. Age doesn't make them any less relevant, the problem is you're just a fucking prude. Guess what else was popular among the youth in their times? Temperance, fascism, and Maoism. Being an asshole knows no age minimum or maximum.

These guys, though old, age well. Prudish assholes like you do not. History will look favorably upon them, where you'll go down more like Kellogg or Graham.
