Yeah, he became American, just like Einstein, Fermi, Von Neumann, etc.

There's a big lesson for Europe there, everyone super productive and able to move to the US does so at the first opportunity.

You might want to do a bit more reading on why European intellectuals migrated en masse to the US in the 1930s.

Definitely. And then one could start wondering if the direction might reverse.

It would take something miraculous for the direction to reverse towards Europe. People have been complaining about European tech, economy, and freedoms (as in free speech) for decades now. Things have become worse on all of these fronts.

I think the AI act is a great example here. The EU came up with regulation for an emerging technology that basically killed the chance for Europe to compete. Lots of people disagreed with this criticism when the act was debated, but it turns out the critics were right. Europe will be buying AI services from elsewhere because Europe wasn't able to compete.

This entire way of thinking in Europe would need to reverse for there to be a chance that the brain drain changes course.

On the flip side, with the US cutting funding for scientific research, and increasing persecution of minorities within the US, I know a whole bunch of qualified scientists/researchers who are either moving to or actively hunting for a position in the EU

Yeah, um…

That might have changed somewhat, recently.

When the US is being run by relatively sane people, it's great.

That is not the situation at the moment.
