I am only 50% certain that your idea is expanding on the satire, if not: project owners can provide dual licensing. I'm sorry if you are serious and didn't understand you.

You need a legal contract with every contributor to be able to offer dual licensing. That's impractical for some types of projects

  Not if you have a CLA. I realize that ship has already sailed for just established projects, but still

After bogo-sort, it's the most badness-maximising "solution" I've ever come across. Why bother asking for the creator's consent to copy and run the original bytes, when you could instead ask for their consent to have a robot that no one understands and could potentially do anything read a few paragraphs of text describing what those bytes do, imagine how it might work, and try to build something resembling that from scratch, using a trillion or so times more energy.

  The energy thing won't sail. A backhoe or front-loader uses far more energy than the equivalent human labor, but having higher energy solutions available is what technological civilization does. Arguably Cowen's "Great Stagnation" was driven primarily by not embracing higher energy provision in the form of fission.

  What about my latest algorithm, VibeSort // VibeSort let arr = [51,46,72,32,14,27,88,32]; arr.sort((a,b)=>{ let response = LLM.query(`Which number is larger, number A:${a} or number B:${b}. Answer using "A" or "B" only, if they are equal, say "C".`); if(response.includes('C')) return 0; if(response.includes('B')) return -1; if(response.includes('A')) return 1; return 0; }); console.table(arr);
