Reddit co-founder kills himself

Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit and co-author of XML 1.0 is dead. He committed suicide after being harassed by the government for scraping a website that hosts public domain articles. The website did not press civil charges, but this did not stop the government from pursuing criminal ones.

Don't cry, Hymie! You still have Eliezer Shlomo Yudkowsky - another Jewish prodigy, who wrote Harry Potter fanfics^[1], created his own singularity AI approach and philosophical school. I'm sure, Shlomo will save humanity from itself!
