@clemens Today copilot told me the real line is not homeomorphic to itself.
@clemens I want to print it everywhere where I work
@clemens many thanks to all the corporate lawyers that make possible to add that to the terms of service.

How is that even news?

@clemens @carcasor Wow, the whole document is a poem
@clemens
Is there something to this effect in every AI service's TOS? Please tell me there is.
@ozzelot @clemens yes, but don't even try to make your management aware of it.
@tschenkel
My direct boss is very much against the stuff :D
@clemens
@ozzelot @clemens then you are lucky, indeed.
@tschenkel
I am also not a software developer. But even as helpdesk, we do need to take a position on this.

@clemens and there's binding arbitration shit in there too 😡

Clearly they don't trust their own product

@clemens
I already copied this for my next team target meeting when they ask why we're not reaching our Copilot usage KPIs...
@clemens Isn't that also integrated into Excel?
@clemens Can we sue them if we are not entertained when we use it?

I have a dual-boot laptop, Linux Mint and Windows 11. When I close the lid under Windows the laptop stays warm, not so under Linux.

I'm thinking about a sticker: "Windows is for auxiliary heating only."
