Solidly rooting for NYT on this - it’s felt like many creative organizations have been asleep at the wheel while their lunch gets eaten for a second time (the first being at the birth of modern search engines.)

I don’t necessarily fault OpenAI’s decision to initially train their models without entering into licensing agreements - they probably wouldn’t exist and the generative AI revolution may never have happened if they put the horse before the cart. I do think they should quickly course correct at this point and accept the fact that they clearly owe something to the creators of content they are consuming. If they don’t, they are setting themselves up for a bigger loss down the road and leaving the door open for a more established competitor (Google) to do it the right way.

Doesn't this harm open source ML by adding yet another costly barrier to training models?

It doesn't matter what's good for open source ML.

It matters what is legal and what makes sense.

Clearly if a law is bad then we should change that law. The law is supposed to serve humanity and when it fails to do so it needs to change.
