Cost: Human migrants cost around $2,500/month per individual, with median IQs around 85, coming from desperate situations to support low-wage economies.
AI agents, conversely, cost approximately $40 per month in inference chips, with median IQ estimates of 125—far higher than their human counterparts and unlimited in number.

The Implications of Unlimited AI Labor
The speaker underscores that AI immigration supercharges existing economic dynamics:
