AI takes center stage at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (youtube.com)
Las Vegas. SmartTVs have AI button so AI can figure out something about what's on the screen, like a recipe or a clothing item. Robot vacuum cleaners now have a crane-style arm to move socks.
Samo talked about the America 10,000 as a government organization he would support, whose purpose would be to find the 10,000 most competent people and make sure they move to America, and it has the following levers and incentives: It can get them a Green Card, no questions asked. It can get their kids into Harvard/Yale (which was something used on Taliban commanders and was one of the strongest incentives). Tax break like no tax for 5 years when you move to America. Witness protection plan. Whoever's in charge, 50 people at most, should have a Darpa mindset, relative autonomy for who they chose. When 10,000 are found, the department wraps up.
America saying that if they don't get skilled tech workers, China will beat them to AI... China doesn't get people wanting to move there. They only get a few disaffected tech workers from the US. (Argument that US could stop doing whatever it does to disaffect people.) Samo.
