TSA doesn't even need an ID, if you don't have one they just take your information and check it against some databases to "confirm" your identity.

Would they do that for an international departure? They know where you’re flying, and I’d think they’d just tell you to stop being an idiot and show them the passport you obviously must have. But policies can be weird, so maybe not.

Users are already liable for their content under 270, it doesn't protect the producers of content it only protects the distributors. But yeah I guess YouTube could force producers to carry insurance or something so that if YouTube is also found liable for their content then the insurance could indemnify them.

Check the breakdown page. Like yes the magnitude is reduced obviously for individual services. But they all show the same trend.

I checked the breakdown page, as I wrote:

> Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.

Seems pretty clear to me, do you really think people need a lawyer to understand that?


The only thing "clear" about that License agreement is it contradicts all their other marketing about Copilot.

So either that document is fraudulent or everyone else at Microsoft is committing fraud daily.

Examples from the first search result: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-365-copi...

Support page with ~25 tutorials provided by Microsoft about how to "Create a document with Copilot" or "Create a branded presentation from a file" or "Start a Loop workspace from a Teams meeting".

Do you actually believe that creating branded presentations (from Microsoft's own examples) is something people do for "entertainment purposes"?


Did Microsoft force you to follow the tutorials and use CoPilot for business?

By advertising Copilot as capable of doing something they are guaranteeing the product is capable of it.

If Copilot is for entertainment purposes only then why is https://office.com all about how you can use Copilot, and closes with the small print "Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is available for Microsoft 365 Enterprise, Academic, SMB, Personal and Family subscribers with a work, education, or personal account."

Why would they include a product for entertainment purposes only in the product they sell to large companies for doing work?


Microsoft is pivoting to become an entertainment company, the Copilot being the final form of what Microsoft Bob has always wanted to become.

Sure, if you make that clear in all of your marketing rather than lying your ass off and then trying the "lol we didn’t really mean it" defense.

If it’s in a locked cabinet in the downstairs bathroom with the ‘out of order’ sign on the door, guarded by a leopard?

A disused lavatory?

We can neither confirm nor deny on advice of counsel.

There are 1698 words before that phrase.

Granted that this one document has a surprisingly clear language, but no, it's still not reasonable. Also, it was changed less than 6 months ago.


Because even in the worst case what we are really talking about is just much higher risk than the government is claiming, but its still far more likely to succeed than fail. Plenty of people would take a 1 in 10 or 1 in 100 chance of dying if it meant they could walk on the moon.

Him and his family will be richer and more famous than ever. I don't think he cares about legacy beyond that.

this and people underestimate how many people in the country still think he's doing a great job.

> how many people in the country still think he's doing a great job.

'In the country' being 'in the USA'.

Everybody else outside the boarders of the USA is thinking "how the mighty have fallen".


Yes, that's what "in the country" means..

It is also exactly these same people of the USA whose thinking is going to matter for determining what happens next, not anyone else. It is immaterial what "everyone else outside the borders of the USA" thinks in the context of the country.


The USA is so overwhelmingly powerful, the phrase is apt: "When it sneezes, the world gets a cold."

The nation that owns the majority of nukes is run by an actual idiot with dementia, and his corrupt picks.

The nation with the majority of aircraft carriers and submarines...

The nation with the largest GDP...

The nation that makes the tech most of the world runs on...

It is terrifying, the international implications that a collapse of my country would cause, but even that pales to the malicious damage it can cause.


Yes. And for the context of this conversation, the people in the USA are what matters. It's not like this regime is going to give up just because other countries dislike them. Their core fan base think it's going gangbusters.

(I think you meant infamous.)

But isn't ChatGPT access free through the browser? What do you mean already paid in currency?

If you want to send more than a few prompts each day, you have to pay. With currency.

Kids version has been around my entire life (baseball cards) it even used to come with bubblegum!

It was like sweetened emulsified chalk.

I kind of miss it.


> What is a new code hosting platform offering.

For me its providing uptime. Github is barely reaching one nine of availability these days.


They have been under a lot of pressure for years to disable e2e messaging because it prevents them from monitoring messages for child abuse. This was a central point of the trial. While they haven't given a reason for the change I think its reasonable to infer it is in response to this pressure.

However there is another possible explanation

> Tom Sulston, head of policy at Digital Rights Watch, said rather than acceding to law enforcement demands, the move was more likely due to Meta deciding against moving messaging on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram to a single platform.
