This will be an interesting inflection point for humanity.
Though, call me jaded, but I can’t help but doubt that the _actual_ content creators, the writers themselves, will see any of the money should The Times win or settle the case.
- donohoe 3y agoThe content creators for the Times have already been paid for their work.
- berniedurfee 3y agoThey were paid when the original content was to be printed or posted on the internet. Subsequently selling (or extracting compensation for) those works to AI companies is an emergent revenue stream. I suppose the NYT isn’t legally obligated to share that revenue fairly with the authors, but it’d be awful nice if they did.
- lobsterthief 3y agoBelieve me, publishers have enough trouble keeping writers employed. If they could give them a larger cut or do some kind of revenue share, most editors and GMs would love to (and many do).
