"This is Peak Stupidity."

No, peak stupidity will be requiring it or your health insurance will go up 30%.

Incidentally, my old employer did exactly this. Required annual blood tests or your rates went up. They used the data to promote the "health" of their work force, not for your benefit. What a piece of shit company they were. National Instruments for those interested.

It's not an outflow of wealth, it's an upflow of wealth. Wealth is not a zero sum game, wealth is generated. China may generate a lot but it doesn't have to take it from the US to do so. The problem in the US is the billionaire class, not China.

"By the time voters figure it out, it will be too late. "

By the time you figure it out...

"I think you're beginning to understand taxes now. Good job."

But you are not.

Come on, no idea? And cleverly executed? Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut. And it's lies anyway, you think China isn't getting Nvidia hardware?

"...and called it a mistake not to have them build AI on American technology."

Why? In what way does "America" lose out because of this alleged mistake? nVidia may lose out, but not the US. Does not affect me in the slightest.

I invented the Bresenham line algorithm, a while later I learned I was not the first. I'm sure that's been replayed a million times.

Gallo discovered HTLV-3, the virus that causes AIDS. He discovered it by stealing the virus from French researchers who isolated it first and made it available in good faith. So, you know, the details are important. Here, promoters of AI made claims that are utterly untrue, it would be interesting to know if they made these errors out of deceit or ignorance.

"... GPT claims are not "embarrassing", except perhaps to competitors."

Yes they are, the claims were utterly false.

my thoughts exactly, and also proof that GPT-5 may actually be more intelligent that the a-holes that created it and promote it.

"I can also download some JavaScript through that same pipe and execute it locally. But it should never be more than an extension of that page."

What's a page?

"But it should have no ability to open its own connections and negotiate its own encryption with third parties. It should have no concept of the outside network beyond the server from which it came."

That would work great with websockets. Won't be asking you for architectural advice.

It appears you don't even know what flash was. Replacing it took far more than CSS.

/. trying to contribute to a douchebag's monetization. We getting Doctorow promotion every week now?

That's not how capitalism works. Any excuse to raise prices will be exploited, electricity is not a free market.

They do now. Hell, some of them are compromised by the operators.

But I also don't know what mean by an agent being compromised by design. An AI agent is software that uses AI. I don't see how an agent is inherently compromised, but at the same time it's got a turd at it's core.

Flood the zone with shit, the gold standard of modern life. It only matters that the rewards are greater than the consequences.

Meh, the least of Aptera's problems. The Aptera is an expensive, low function, unsafe unrepairable two seat car that is at best 20% more efficient than a Model 3. The 3 wheels lets it skirt safety regulations, probably it's best "feature".
