The UAE and the US (as of the last year and a half) don't (just) have strict immigration laws. Instead, they have corrupt and abusive immigration systems which operate outside of national and international laws.

It seems obvious to me that there is no moral reason that some people should only be allowed to live in certain places.

That's simply not true. You may get a certain amount of leeway, but it has to be reasonable.

That's not true though. Excess capital does not necessarily get reinvested in an efficient market. If that were the case, companies in relatively efficient markets would spend a very small portion of their free cash flow on dividends and share buybacks, which is not the case.

Let's look at Kroger specifically: https://ir.kroger.com/news/news-details/2026/Kroger-Reports-...

Of $7.2B free cash flow in 2025 they spent $3.9B on capital expenditures and about $3.6B on dividends and buybacks (those numbers don't add up because of things like loans, sale of assets, and stock issuance).

Additionally, even if companies in competitive markets did reinvest all their excess profits from personalized pricing, the benefits would only accrue to consumers that the algorithm thinks are price-sensitive.

1. Asimov wrote that because he needed robots to be indistinguishable from humans for plot reasons.

2. We do 99% of our tool use with our arms and hands. We are already very good at building robot arms. We are getting better at robot hands. We can build robot legs, but they're very expensive and they pose a major safety risk for the robot itself and surrounding humans (because the robot can fall if there is a failure). For most applications, why not just put biomimetic hands and arms on a rolling base?

Of course, all this humanoid robotics research is still useful because if you can build a fully humanoid robot you can trivially build a torso-on-rolling-base robot. I sort of suspect that most of the humanoid robotics companies already know that the vast majority of their sales will be in that category.

1. Algorithmically generate a underdrawing (e.g. place numbers and shapes randomly in the underdrawing)

2. Algorithmically generate a description of the underdrawing (e.g. for each shape, output text like "there is a square with the number three in the top left corner). You might fuzz this by having an LLM rewrite the descriptions in a variety of ways.

3. Generate a "ground truth" image using the underdrawing and an image+text-to-image model.

4. Use the generated description and the generated "ground truth" image as training data for a text-to-image model.

The algorithmically-driven store will start by randomly showing them some random prices and seeing how they respond. If they are willing to accept high prices, the store will keep charging them more. If they leave the store and go somewhere else, the store will revert to lower prices. The store will discriminate against people who won't comparison shop for whatever reason (busy, limited access to transport, rich enough that they don't care, etc.)

However, the store's extra margins won't lead to lower prices for other consumers, even in a fully competitive market. Raising prices for consumers who won't comparison shop will do nothing to change the marginal cost of serving a consumer who does, so this won't change the competitive dynamics for those consumers and they won't see lower prices.

You can't compete that away because the consumers being hurt aren't sensitive to competition (for example, they don't have a car and therefor can't get to a different grocery store). It's an inherently anti-competitive practice.

I agree that temporal dynamic pricing might be good in some circumstances, but this bill doesn't ban it.

Imagine this world: the bubble "pops" in a couple years. The GPUs stick around for a few more years after that. At the end, we pretty much don't train new foundation models anymore - no one wants to spend the money on the hardware needed to make a real advance.

People continue to refine, distill, and optimize the existing foundation models for the next century or two, just like people keep laying new track over old railway right of ways.

> Commercial squeezed orange juice is pasteurized and filtered before being evaporated under vacuum and heat. After removal of most of the water, this concentrate, about 65% sugar by weight, is then stored at about 10 °F (−12 °C). Essences, Vitamin C, and oils extracted during the vacuum concentration process may be added back to restore flavor and nutrition.

So essentially there are components that vaporize during processing. The make sure to condense the same components and add them back in so that the orange juice contains all the components of fresh orange juice.
