Just you wait edge computing will move a lot of power to the client... it's coming, especially for AI, cars and any intelligent device.

That's what I was wondering, I'm thinking of tracking down whoever added that to the Wikipedia page, because I don't know how they found out.

I very strongly suspect that some confused person (or algorithm?) saw that that the level design tool Radiant has a "clipper" and ran with it.

But looking at other edits from this address it sees like they might just be a vandal; or at least somebody who is very confused about how Wikipedia works.
Oh boy, I hadn't heard about Harbour until now; earlier today I was looking at the Wikipedia page for id Tech 5, and it says it uses Clipper so I was really scratching my head wondering how they pulled that off and why. Now I know, thanks for mentioning it. :- )
