The incredibly frustrating thing is we have had technical solutions to this for decades (Zero Knowledge Proofs, which allow a third party to verify something - such as your age - without actually sharing your PII with them) but no one actually implements the damn stuff properly.

Unless it has the Sheridan seal of approval, I am not investing.

The fact that they reference a bunch of past breaches and supply chain attacks - but give absolutely zero explanation about how said attacks would be prevented by US manufacturers, nor any explanation of additional cybersecurity controls they will mandate on them - tells you everything you need to know about this.

This is about protectionism, not cybersecurity.

If it had to do with cybersecurity, then a set of objective evaluation criteria could be applied to ANY router, regardless of origin.

Or, Motorola can just provide a different launcher that does the age verification. Which would be absolutely trivial for them to do.

Talk about a manufactured clickbait article.

That exact number of failures is very suspicious and makes me wonder if something else is going on

Interesting he used Claude in this example. Very telling.

You seem to not understand the "chain" part of "supply chain".

NvIdia has over 10B in Anthropic.
Microsoft has over 5B
Amazon has over 8B

If Anthropic is deemed a "supply chain risk", then all of these companies will be legally forced to divest. Their investments will get pennies on the dollar in the fire sale.

And they are the tip of the iceberg.

Their current ARR growth disputes your statement. https://www.saastr.com/anthrop...

Also, simple logic disputes your statement. $200 / month is total peanuts compared to a human.

They could charge $5000 / month or higher for Claude Code Max and businesses would still pay for it, that is how good it is.

Your statement illustrates a misunderstanding of what HIPAA even requires.

HIPPA is not a compliance program. It is a law and set of regulations. There is no such thing as a way to "certify" software as being "HIPAA Compliant" because it is a meaningless term.

To be "HIPAA compliant", the entire software + solution stack needs to comply with the regulations.

In this case, he most likely made a dashboard that redacted PII from the eyes of consumers except on a need-to-know basis - because that is the heart of HIPAA. There is no need to inspect the code to illustrate this kind of "compliance", you look at the solution and what it provides.

Bond payees are the highest on the totem pole. Every single shareholder gets wiped out before a bondholder even misses a payment.

Look at the insane virality and popularity of OpenMolt / MoltBot, which was made by a hobbyist over a few weekends. Yes it has security issues - but if it was actually built and provided by a company like Microsoft or Google, they could easily address those.

Why is it so popular? Because it is an AI assistant that can actually do stuff, and is useful, as opposed to the stupidity of having AI in a text editor mostly used as a cliipboard cache..

Microsoft needs better product managers. The current slate seems to have no sweet clue what people actually want out of AI.

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

GenAI has been able to bypass reCAPTCHA for a long time.

They are useless virtue signalling at this point.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.
