If OpenAI hadn't used data from the NYT without permission in the first place this wouldn't have happened. That is the root cause of all this.

I'm glad the NYT is fighting them. They've infringed the rights of almost every news outlet but someone has to bring this case.

NYT on the internet is pure garbage. I'm really sad that when they challenged Google they didn't just drop and ban them from the index. There's zero reason for NYT to pollute the internet for me and everyone like me that won't ever pay them a cent.

NYT links leading to a paywall are the worst kind of spam.

They should sell their stuff by mail if they hate open culture so much.

It's absolutely disgusting how they are allowed to freeload on the attention that the open culture provides, contributing nothing but short garbage blurbs that are worse than generated by LLMs.

Yeah, how terrible that you should be expected to spend /eleven minutes/ of the average U.S. tech worker's salary for a month of information. Perish the thought.

You're in luck! You can subscribe to the New York Times by mail, just like you want.

At this point I would pay just as much to not see a single link to NYT content in my life. I can't pay for that? Well, that's my point.
