Can we print this part of Microsoft's T&S as a leaflet and distribute at our university?

@clemens many thanks to all the corporate lawyers that make possible to add that to the terms of service.

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.

I am also not a software developer. But even as helpdesk, we do need to take a position on this.

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."

@clemens Amazing contradictions in their own messaging.

"Retailers could use a copilot to optimize marketing budgets, employee shift scheduling" - mmm, entertaining!

"Financial institutions can use a copilot to automate financial modeling and reporting" - not important advice, though!

"Processes related to drug research and development and clinical trials can all be simplified" - at your own risk AND everyone else's, apparently!
