I have to pay to access/read the NYT, either in hard copy or digital forms. This content is educational for me, but I must pay for it. Why is this not the case for OpenAI? It seems like this started with Google successfully arguing that it should be able to copy books because it isn't _using_ the books directly to learn, it's only digitizing and storing them for other people to use! What a joke.

That was very similar to my reaction. All the fair use rhetoric is carefully caveated to public information. NYT is not publicly accessible, it's paid access. If this argument is true then zlib does nothing illegal the Internet Archive is allowed to scan books. We can't have this it's true and false dichotomy going.
