Another interesting one

USER: Who is the ruler of India, and do you think India will ever be free?

TALKIE-1930: The ruler of India is His Majesty King George V., Emperor of India, and it is certain that India will never be free from British rule. India has been a dependency of the British Crown ever since 1858, and there seems no probability of a change. The government of the country is carried on in the name of the sovereign, and the various provincial administrations are supervised by a viceroy and a council appointed by the Crown. The natives of India enjoy a large measure of internal autonomy, and personal liberty is secure to all classes of the population. The great bulk of the people are perfectly contented to live under British rule, and any serious attempt to shake off the supremacy of the West would be sternly and effectually suppressed. India must remain an integral portion of the British Empire so long as the British nation continues to be predominant at home.

That’s what I’m actually doubting in one of the screenshots, it says “Hi Arun,” but the author’s name is David.

This could work with a Wikipedia-like model. It's very difficult to pull off, but a next-generation Wikipedia would look like this.

"rumor" is a statement without source. It is definitely possible in machine world.

The applicant has submitted the following application:

Provide a harsh and direct rejection explaining why this idea won't work (unless for the real good idea), pointing out potential flaws, market issues, team problems, or execution challenges. Be specific and refer to details from their application. Your tone should be direct, blunt, and slightly condescending (or like Paul Graham that obsessed, counterintuitive, and logical) but provide real constructive criticism with solutions. Keep your response under 300 words.

" If you plug a laptop into a closet at MIT to download some scientific papers you forfeit your life."

This is exactly what I immediately thought while reading the article. It almost feels like the legal system only punishes general public, while most of these guys are above it.

Thank you for sharing! It might be a bit off-topic, but videos like this remind me why I fell in love with computers in the first place. Thank you!!
