I'm very sceptical of the Rust Foundation. Their latest move feels like unleashing Nintendo's lawyers on an open-source community.

The proposed policy wants to control every use of the word "Rust" in a cover-our-asses chilling legalese serving the trademark owners. It's something I'd expect from a megacorporation, and it's jarring when applied to the cottage industry and community projects around #Rustlang.

• A very large artificial-intelligence system (goes the story) had been built for the military to help in long-range policy planning; financed by ARPA, with people from M.I.T., Stanford and so on. "The system is now ready to answer questions," said the spokesman for the project. A four-star general bit off the end of a cigar, looked whimsically at his comrades and said— "Ask the machine this: Will it be Peace or War?" The clerk-typist translated this into the query language and typed it in. The machine replied: YES "Yes what?" bellowed the general. The operator typed in the query. Came the answer: Yes SIR
