... and tested by thousands of End Users.
Just read the licence carefully, otherwise you might discover that anything you produce using him belongs to the company. All very Rumpelstiltskin.

Are you delusional if you think you know you're delusional?
What if you had an irrational belief that you were delusional? Huh? Huh?
For some reason I'm reminded of an example from early on in my theory-of-knowledge lectures. Good luck following it...
It's suggest that to 'know' something you have to have sufficient grounds to think so and you have to be right.
Suppose you had sufficient grounds to think Gavin had borrowed your car. You might think you know that
Either Gavin has borrowed my car or I am the King of Siam
But suppose that, actually, Gavin had not borrowed your car. BUT by a strange series of events you had in fact become the King of Siam. Could you still be said to 'know' the proposition?
I'll add that under that definition is quite possible (theoretically) to know something. Knowing you know something is practically and I think logically impossible. Delusion is probably the backwards version of that.

You simply have a licence to use him and you may not make a backup.
Do I own the medium he's stored in? Will they replace him if he breaks?
Besides, it depends...
He could be freely distributable for non-commercial use.
What if you obtain someone by peer-to-peer sharing?

FWIW this constitutes a denial - or at least a different story - from Copeland on his vote.

Yay behavioural psychology, especially positive reinforcement (when used by people who understand it and actually have the skills to impliment etc) but some of the above reminds me of something.
During first year psych a few of us noted there's a kind of self-fullingness in the definitions. What's a 'reward'? any thing that increases the behaviour when they get it. How do you increase the behaviour? 'Reward' them.

The Burger King Whopper is a joke.
And the joke is... their advertisements contain the most enormous whoppers!

And no right-thinking man would give to rights to a chattel would they?
... this will lead to people marrying their sofas and hatstand-education classes in our schools.

Banning corporal punishment? Don't be silly.
Apparently, it's really due to brown people, brown people, brown people (not that he's blaming maori), and the welfare.
