in reply to mhoye • • •If they tell me that something is "for entertainment purposes only," while selling it to me as a revolution in the way people write software and/or conduct business, they have established that lying for the purposes of covering their ass is how they do business.
I have other sources of entertainment, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that leopards who offer to shave your beard for entertainment purposes only always wind up having your face for lunch.

in reply to Reginald • • •Only a completely corrupt and captured legal system would ever accept "For entertainment purposes only" as a disclaimer conferring immunity from liability.
C'mon. Who spends literally billions of dollars to make AI just to entertain people? Can they show the jury their business plan to pivot to entertainment? Is this the xbox division?

If that is ridiculous, so is the Copilot weasel-clause.

Remember that little period when Microsoft was promising to compensate Github Copilot users if they were sued for IP violations for Copilot output?
Anyway.

We don't technically own your content, but we absolutely can do anything we want to with it. So can anyone else if we want them to. Suck it, peons.
