    Yes agreed. It also seems to change very often. so as soon as you do figure out how to do something, it changes.

    I also wish it didn’t allow shared documents at all, it’s actually worse than sharepoint at that. The number of people who think it works though, then you have talk them through how to find the shared ducument (as if i can remember) and actually share it effectively. Waste of time because its pretendng to do something that it is quite bad at.

    It was so much more usable when it was just skype/lync and it just did calls, screenshare and chat.

    laughs at people scared of choice and “mess” . . .

    If they’re switcing to linux they should first come to know about open source forking around - arguably - one of the most important features of the whole thing.

    If they don’t wan’t that choice and all that inevitable open source forkery, they probably should go for an apple mac or windows or something like that. And maybe they will have to pay for some software for the privilege because it takes work to do those things. They can of course try plain old ubuntu and do stuff the way canonical wants, that removes quite a bit of choice if it is otherwise too terrifying for them.

    But in general, I don’t think its a good idea to to try to sell pig-carcasses to vegans by painting them the colours of broccoli.

    You’ve probably not infringed the copyright, only the court can decide though; if you were to be challenged by the rights holder.

    I think there are lots of factors in your defence:

    • you’re not selling it , your use is an example for education
    • I don’t think you’re reducing the market value for the original(s) in any way
    • you’ve not included substantial verbaitim sections of the original works , but I think you have used more than just facts and ideas (not sure though).

    But add in some more quotes, flesh it out, and then try to sell it . . . each step weakens the ‘fair use’ defence.

    This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit, then eventually the collective derived works might add up to commercial, substantial reuse, and might include enough to have copied a substantial portion of the original. Very hard to determine I’d think. Each individual use might be fair, but did the LLM itself go too far at some point?

    Copyright holder probably struggles to challenge the LLM on the basis of all the things infinite mokeys might use it for in future.

    cool, that actually looks like a good idea. Interesting for sync uses too , say, in film as i think so long as you re-performed the melody (not the “song”) you’d be royalty free. I do think it’d be funny to hear the Joni Mitchell paved paradise melody in a car commercial - but that’s still creative freedom. Interesting stuff.
