They wouldn’t be autonomous weapons makers if they were.

Only partially helpful. For me, when I open up issues archive.org often only has the first post in the thread. Often the stuff is months outdated.
Don’t get me wrong, the Wayback Machine is an incredibly amazing piece of tech and I use it all the time. But it’s a less-than-satisfactory replacement for a working Github.

Because it’s new tech, and any time there’s new tech it takes the judicial system around 20 years to figure out that old laws still apply even in the context of new tech.
Remember how long it took for copyright to become somewhat relevant on the internet?
Or how long it took for murder threats to become illegal on the internet?
When I was growing up it was totally 100% to be expected that once you step online, especially in games, someone will graphicly threaten to murder and rape you and your entire family in an arbitrary order.
Stuff like that would have gotten you in legal trouble instantly if you said that in real life, but online it was totally fine for a very long time.

But why are we posting news that’s older than a year? Got nothing new?

OP, using AI, which is why it makes no sense.
Yeah, go tell that to your company’s IT department.
That’s what WSL is used for: keeping developers somewhat sane in a company that’s Windows-only.
