What if he starts sending his AI clone to the board meetings and it votes to fire him and replace him with itself? :P

Oh absolutely, I would welcome some way of sponsoring such projects in general. I just meant to highlight that for this particular feature and project, there is already a form of s…

When it comes to Wine, aren't they already doing this? Steam develops Proton in cooperation with CodeWeavers, who are the main sponsors of Wine, and parts of that work is upstreame…

That is an interesting argument. Do you believe that the same would apply to humans? I.e. if someone wishes to minimize the suffering of humans, is the logical conclusion that they…

I would expect to see at least some legal judgement against dark UX patterns. I was quite heavily involved on the technical side in GDPR compliance (EU company) and my understandin…

I can never resist naming Assembly variables ass. Also leads to lots of fun variations: dynamicAss, assBuilder, assTypes, ...
