My high school had one of them in the early 80s. Me and a few others were the only ones who ever turned it on. Then a friend got an Apple ][ and we never touched the PDP-11 again.

For a moment it was called Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. Naming things is hard.

Naive question. How does the method in the OpenAI and Stripe flow charts differ from buying from a 3rd party seller on Amazon, which requires no agent? I don’t see what the agent is doing independently in the payment part.

In the 80s and 90s I was positive that customers would revolt over the constant security issues and generally poor quality of Microsoft software. I don’t need to tell you that it did not happen.

All this is illegal:

The Impoundment Control Act

The Administrative Procedure Act

The Civil Service Reform Act

The Museum and Library Services Act

The Appointments clause of Article II of the Constitution

The Take Care clauses of Article II of the Constitution.

Executive orders are not laws and cannot override laws.

That includes -4.8 percentage points from net trade which comes from two sources:

1) Importers getting ahead of tariffs in Jan and Feb. 2) -2.3 percentage points of the net trade deficit estimate was from imported non-monetary gold, because Americans want portable wealth right now.

The thing to be concerned about is that real consumption is up only 0.3% quarter-over-quarter annualized in this estimate. This is two-thirds of GDP. Investment is actually pretty strong, especially equipment (GPU servers).
