From this post: https://hexbear.net/post/2063160. The whole comments thread is gold, this guy is on a reply streak.
Someone get him on the lathe, let's see more CEOs getting held personally liable.
Also, bonus points that this guy can take time away from his busy day of running a company to post on IGN comment threads, really speaks to the important work he's doing.
Besides, when's the last time a CEO was actually held personally liable for anything in the US? It's purely an academic distinction, and I would argue it's probably easier to keep an AI within the confines of the law if governments mandated this to be the case. You program it in, and if you didn't the owner is liable.
