I wasn't trying to downplay ASML's important role in the commercialization of the machines. I was just responding to the comment "ASML is as Dutch as it gets" which is not remotely true.

Anyone can "hack". It's not really a skill anymore.

I was responding to your comment about the US Dept of Energy's role in the history of the technology. Also I quoted ASML executives describing themselves exactly as an integrator, not a developer of the technology. But you seem to be upset about this for some reason.

Very few people would even have the knowledge of who, how, or where to "sell" such vulnerabilities. Going through a public bounty program is pretty much always preferable.

Most people don't want to be felons.

ASML isn't a great example since it's largely American technology invented by the US government department of energy. The EUV light source itself is researched, developed, and manufactured entirely in California.

ASML is an important company but it is mostly just an integrator of technology from many different countries.

> People are subscription'd out

No, they're not. Maybe you are?

> A significant portion of people don't want AI in a lot of these things

Not true. People love AI. Specifically Android and iPhone AI. I doubt they even know or care about Anthropic or OpenAI.

> the ones that are eager to adopt it can use AI to bootstrap AI tools they use through a token router

Absolutely microscopic share of the overall market for "AI" users. We are hobbyists.

OpenAI models power Apple's Siri assistant

Anthropic is in the worst position of the AI labs. As far as investors and "the market" are concerned, the only AI that matters is the one built into your phone, car, your TV, your smart home and appliances. Anthropic has none of that share. It's all Google, Apple, and OpenAI powering Siri.

> makes some things like the CHIPS act non-starters as long as we can't trust the next administration

Bidens CHIPS Act is still largely intact though isn't it? The next admin changed some things, renegotiated some implementation details, and even expanded parts of the subsidies. But I believe it is still moving forward at basically the same scale as was originally envisioned.

States can already sue the US AG. The AG gets sued all the time. States just don't have the ability to actually enforce any judgement that comes from that and that's what this bill is for.

Toyota has not attempted to certify the Hilux in USA because they already sell the Tacoma, which occupies the similar market.

Nobody has said the Hilux can't be sold in USA. Toyota simply hasn't tried.
