I bought a remarkably similar mug (last advert shown) from an add from different site [1]. Everything about it was a fake. Almost every feature they advertised did not exist (including the fact that it did not come in a gift box.) That was from a site I visit a lot and I wanted to show support. BTW the AI generated animation is quite cool, too bad it is not real...
I'd argue that the laws that must be obeyed form an odd superset of the laws of the nation from where the organization is operating and the laws where the users are located. Where those laws intersect nicely, the mode of operation is clearly defined, where they do not intersect, the mode of operation becomes very tricky. (As we've seen with privacy, cookie laws, etc.)
*One consequence of this boom in AI use is that, in my online classes, I can no longer be sure of what my students are learning. I have no way of determining which concepts they are grasping and which are proving elusive.*
As someone who regularly interviews students for jobs, it is clear that the universities that have permissive use of AI for assignment completion produce graduates that know very little about the core concepts of their studies. Many students cannot explain simple concepts and base level assignments take significantly longer.
As a Unity developer, first this year our account manager told us our yearly fees were about to double and now runtime fees. One of the reasons we picked Unity was because of the fact they advertised (loudly) about the lack of runtime fees.
I’m guessing the reason this is brought up is because of the concern about if the license server goes down or the company goes out of business can I still use the product.
Many of these want to know your revenue and then make a sales proposal based on your total revenue. This is frustrating for companies where software is a tiny proportion of the products/services. Example: recently tried to license software that wanted 1% of our sales when software makes up 0.003% of our sales by volume. I now don't even try to negotiate with these types of folks.
Company: builds automated warehousing facilities (both hardware and software)
Team: makes an emulation/simulation software system - requires developers that can write incredibly tight code, simulating some of the largest warehouse distribution facilities on the planet. Small team, with a big impact. https://dematic.com/virtual
