Trump signed a proclamation requiring any new H1B visa application filed after September 21, 2025 to come with a $100,000 fee.

This will squeeze out mid level foreign hires and force companies to pay a premium or adapt with AI and automation.
For American workers, it could present new opportunities.
For American companies, it creates new challenges with employment costs. This could increase costs for consumers and hasten AI adaptation for organizations.
Can you seize the opportunity, by finding a better job or selling new services to companies that are impacted?

Nvidia signed a deal to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and supply data center GPUs through a long term partnership.
The first wave of chips is expected to support a one gigawatt deployment in 2026.
This locks Nvidia deeper into the AI value chain and gives OpenAI guaranteed supply in a world of shortages.
The Update:
The AI wars are in full-effect and the partnership with NVidia puts OpenAI (ChatGPT) at a significant advantage.
The company has insane momentum when it comes to capital and user base.
It’s clear to me that learning to use ChatGPT, and infusing OpenAI into your workforce now is a great move.
