People seems to be forgetting that to poach talent, talent has to exist.
The only way a US company would even know the person exists is if they were doing amazing work in the respective country, meaning they, by definition, did amazing work in their country (breakthrough, papers, etc) all then pointing to benefit for said country because, again by definition, they haven't left yet.
Once that happens, if it happens, the person can choose to go to the US, or not. Not everyone desires to live here, regardless of money.
If you believe AI will create a ton of value, 1.8B into developing an ecosystem should get paid back relatively easy over some period of time.
Value capture doesn't happen ONLY at the end point.
