At the scale of Zoom and MS Teams ... you could theoretically train an AI model that can autonomously conduct all meetings businesses ever need -- all day every day -- without any human ever needing to attend. So much productivity claimed back! GenAI provides the agenda, GenAI bots log in with a AI avatar and spout hallucinations, bots agree to disagree and setup a followup meeting next week after resolving fake cale…

As long as the paychecks aren't hallucinations I'm good with it.
I think that's the future with AGI - no more paychecks. What will happen when the cost of every service is zero since it's been delegated to machines?

And this continues even after the human race disappears. There's a dystopian sci-fi novel here somewhere.

lightweight? they are literally the only video chatting service I use that makes my laptop fans spin up.
I am yet to find a modern video chat that isn't draining the battery of any laptop. From old Xeons, to fairly recent Ryzen and even M1/2 Macs. It's a bit puzzling, actually. I don't think Skype and TeamSpeak had the same effect on computers back in the day. Just how much local processing are they doing these days? It's crazy
No company in their right mind is going to be okay with having their business meetings recorded and loaded into an AI model.

But it is saying that your customer content may be used for training AI, in 10.4: > 10.4 Customer License Grant.

> You agree to grant and hereby grant I get that legalese is like human-interpretable pseudocode, but like, is there really no better way to word this? How can you grant without agreeing to grant? > import, access, use, store, transmit, review, disclose, preserve, extract, modify, reproduce, share, use, display, copy, distribute, translate, transcribe, create derivative works Wow this cover of Daft Punk - Technologic…
I think it's more that they're being explicit about the logical AND in that sentence. You agree to grant, AND grant them the permission.
I think it's a technicality about it being a "user agreement" so they probably have to use the word agree for certain clauses.

You can just have a conference call with the 5-10 speakers and use broadcasting software to stream it to the audience, why do they need to be in the conference?
Why setup a separate broadcast when listeners can just join the meeting room?
Giving all the data to zoom probably means also giving it to most US law enforcement agencies (should they request it), that would be a big no no for me.
Remote work has enough threats with return to office looming that we really don't need Zoom to also be the bad guys now, again, since it was hard enough getting them in the door the first time.
But how to explain that corporates don't care? Any value extracted from their casual attitude toward online information flows is value that nominally belongs to their shareholders. Commercial secrecy is a required fundation for any enterprise.
The whole edifice of current tech business models seems to be resting on false pillars.

The dystopian part would be, some human brains are still kept alive and are wired in matrix like. The Eternal Meeting.
