  1. Our readingAI agents need their own computers, because people do not do their jobs through APIs but by clicking and typing on a computer.

    Their wordsWe as humans don't do our jobs via MCPS and APIs. Like we use a computer and we click on pixels and we kind of type things in input boxes. And it's very important that your bot has those baseline capabilities as well.

How recent

The line under a date fills as the words age, a quarter at a time: past a month, six months, a year, and three years. Empty means said within the last month; full, more than three years ago. It says when, not whether it still holds — a change of mind is marked on the claim itself.

Dashed means we only know the words existed by that date; they may be older.
