Corporations rely on desperate, easily-exploited people in order to make obscene profits. There’s no way in hell they’d risk actually cutting off their supply of slaves, or else they might have to drop a couple of percent of profits on paying wages / benefits / etc.
The border laws aren’t intended to reduce the number of illegal immigrants, they’re there to make those same people more desperate and therefore more profitable, while at the same time stoking the enthusiasm of morons who will continue to vote for more pro-corporate politicians who will shovel even more money to the shareholders.
I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Imagine making a whole chicken out of chicken-nugget goo.
It will look like a roast chicken. It will taste alarmingly like chicken. It absolutely will not be a roast chicken.
The sad thing is that humans do a hell of a lot of this, a hell of a lot of the time. Look how well a highschooler who hasn’t actually read the book can churn out a book report. Flick through, soak up the flavour and texture of the thing, read the blurb on the back to see what it’s about, keep in mind the bloated over-flowery language that teachers expect, and you can bullshit your way to an A.
Only problem is, you can’t use the results for anything productive, which is what people try to use GenAI for.
