Interviewees

gollark: There are quite a lot of laws *in general*, enough that you can't practically know what they all are.
gollark: It's an "autonomous commune" in... Seattle or something.
gollark: It's apparently big enough that you would need something like 20 high-end compute GPUs, so... quite a lot of raspberry pis.
gollark: The trouble with this is that scaling it up like this requires ridiculous amounts of computing resources, and now it's so big that individuals probably can't even tractably run it.
