Typo. Top 5% is 188k according to your link.

It really seems like one game to me. It's already lasted longer than I expected.

True, but the guy who is seeking attention this way probably needs some attention.

GOUSes? I don't think they exist.

We have this same stupid story recycled every week.

There are thousands of years of substantiation. And the alternative is that no one will want anything. I don't agree with doom & gloom on this point.

No ragrets

I don't think it's attempted murder. More like reckless endangerment.

Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn't required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions. The charge may occur in various contexts, such as, among others, domestic cases, car accidents, construction site accidents, testing sites, domestic/child abuse situations, and hospital abuse. State laws and penalties vary, so local laws should be consulted.

Bill endorsing it is a start. If perhaps the pope could also bless it, that might make it potable.

Why is this even a question? The people running the bot are responsible. If a carpenter nails my hand to the door with his nail gun, is the nail gun responsible?

Heterogeneous?

Would you be willing to share an example event and a link to the false reporting?

Why?

I'd like to know what type of assignment this was. If it's small and specific, there might be only a few basic working solutions. That is, the similarity stems from being correct.

If it's a larger project with creative design decisions, then I'm less sympathetic.
