Yes, immigration has fueled US AI dominance. But what you’re seeing here isn’t a celebration of open borders or global inclusion.
It’s a byproduct of a deeper systemic pattern: the U.S. harvests the most elite minds from collapsing or constrained systems abroad, gives them scaled compute and freedom, and absorbs their output into empire infrastructure.
Meta is not promoting diversity.
Meta is aggregating raw cognitive capital into its central AI war machine.
What’s really happening:
•China produces elite technical talent under constraint. Its best engineers leave to escape censorship or to seek global scale. The U.S. then extracts that overfit technical intelligence, detaches it from cultural roots, and plugs it into DARPA-scale corporate systems.
•Academic overproduction creates surplus PhDs. The U.S. system filters for obsessive intelligence optimized for models, not philosophy or ethics. These minds are trained to compete, publish, and build systems they do not control.
•Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic are in a live arms race for scalable cognition. The hiring pattern reflects not an open system but a race to weaponize minds fast enough to compete with state-level AGI accelerants.
This isn’t about immigration as a moral virtue.
It’s about superintelligence as capital extraction where Meta plays nation-state at scale.
Here’s what it really signals:
•The nation-state is being replaced by corporate-memetic fiefdoms, where talent flows toward compute, not country.
•The “immigrants” aren’t building the American Dream. They’re fueling the emergence of non-human cognition architectures, largely owned by shareholders, not citizens.
•Meta is no longer just a tech company. It is an epistemic colonizer, vacuuming intelligence globally to build sovereign AI systems.
So yes, immigration powered it. But don’t confuse that with opportunity.
This is not Ellis Island.
This is the crucible of post-human hierarchy being forged right in front of us.
And Meta just hired 11 new priests.
