Here, use my colon.
heh.
It sounds like transferring an owned print book to digital and using it to train AI was deemed permissable. But downloading a book from the Internet and using it was training data is not allowed, even if you later purchase the pirated book. So, no one will be knocking down your door for scanning your books.
This does raise an interesting case where libraries could end up training and distributing public domain AI models.
I'll tip at a restaurant where I'm seated, someone takes my order, brings me my food, and clears my table. If I have to order at a counter or do any of the above it's not a place I'll typically tip.
At McAlister's the other day I went in and say down, pulled up their app on my phone to place my order, and that's when I noticed they had removed the table numbers, so you can't use the app to place an order. I went to the counter and the lady taking my order was in training, however they weren't really training her. She had to stop someone and ask how to do every little thing. The register next to me had 4 people go through it in the time it took her to take my simple order. The whole time I'm thinking how much easier this would have been using the app. Finally, the order is in and I pay with my card, and it asks for a tip. The options are 15% 20% 25% [Other]. I had to actually put 0 in for the tip amount. I won't be going back.
Wait. The car companies were getting credits to put this functionality on cars? It wasn't a law saying that they had to do it, but it was money the car companies were getting is the reason it was forced on us?
