Because it’s frankly a somewhat ridiculous stretch of the word. That way, anything you purchase more than once in your life would be a subscription (toilet paper, bathroom repairs, even food and water). If anything, it gives more power to toxic subscription services (like how BMW gatekeeps seat heating iirc) by muddying the waters and making their subscriptions seem less outrageous than it is.
Disclaimer: I only started working at this company about three weeks ago, so this info may not be as accurate as I currently think it is.
I work in quality management and recently asked my boss what the current stance on AI is, since he mentioned quite early that he and his colleagues sometimes use ChatGPT and Copilot in conjunction to write up some text for process descriptions or info pages. They use it in research tasks, or, for example, to summarize large documents like government regulations, and they very often use it to rephrase texts when they can’t think of a good way to word something. From his explanation, the company consensus seems to be that everyone has access to Copilot via our computers and if someone has, for example, a Kagi or Gemini or whatever subscription, we are absolutely allowed and encouraged to utilize it to its full potential.
The only rules seem to be to not blindly trust the AI output ever and to not feed it company sensitive information (and/or our suppliers/customers)
How my father is able to either justify/excuse or even blatantly support any of these illegal acts the American joke of a President is committing.
Not so nice: Yesterday I had my first really bad headache from muscle tenseness in the neck. It felt like I would fall unconscious if I stood up. And according to my wife, that’s the kind of headache she has every couple of weeks, which is very…unfortunate.
More nice: I am making more progress in Dyson Sphere Program than I ever did before and currently I still have the motivation to stick with that game until I turned most of the cluster of solar systems into factories.
Nice with an asterisk: In two weeks I will start my new job at a very nice company with great conditions. The asterisk is because it means I will have less free time, naturally.
My favourite part of today is about to come in half an hour when we eat the burritos for which we prepared the filling in the morning today
