Bad news: tonight's terrible snowstorm means that I'm not giving my Tanner Talk at the University of Utah in person.

Good news: the (previously) sold out talk is going to be on Zoom, which means anyone can attend! We're starting in 30 minutes at 19h Mountain/18h Pacific/21h Eastern, and it's open to all!

@pluralistic thanks! This was great!

I am especially intrigued by your Q/A on how copyright applies to AI inputs and outputs -- would love to see these thoughts in your blog!

note: concern for open source software projects that have copyright license requirements ignored by AI training (credit, sharing, etc. viz github copilot) and risk by those projects accepting AI generated code (does the contributor or bot have the copyright to *commit* the code under the project license)?

@pluralistic Thanks for the heads up! Always a pleasure to hear your take on *waves generally at everything* this.

@pluralistic
Bad news:
Zoom is infamous for privacy violation.
Based on USA, operated and developed mainly by Chinese in mainland China, and have LOTS of bad records.
