There are so many good lines in this article. Here's some of my favorites: > OpenAI asked a judge to dismiss parts of The New York Times’ lawsuit against it, alleging that the media company “paid someone to hack OpenAI’s products,” such as ChatGPT, to generate 100 examples of copyright infringement for its case. So per OpenAI, using the product in a way that gets them in trouble is hacking. > “Because copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expression– including blog posts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documents–it would be impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials,” OpenAI wrote in a filing last month in the U.K., in response to an inquiry from the U.K. House of Lords. So per OpenAI, it'd be too hard to filter the inputs so they don't want to do it. > “We actually don’t need to train on their data,” Altman said at an event organized by Bloomberg in Davos. “I think this is something that people don’t understand. Any one particular training source, it doesn’t move the needle for us that much.” The classic, "We don't need you, you need us" deflection. > The company has already struck deals with Axel Springer, the German media conglomerate that owns Business Insider, Morning Brew and other outlets, and is also reportedly in talks with CNN, Fox Corp. and Time to license their work. ... while behind the scenes trying to lock down as much copyrighted content as possible.

  I love this bit: > Because copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expression– including blog posts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documents–it would be impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials Openly admitting that they cannot make money without infringing copyright laws. Have they ever heard of Napster?
